I have one, and it is a slow grower for me. Would I buy it again, probably not. My hosta partner is the one who wanted it and we went in halfers. For the $$$ we paid, hopefully this one gets better with age.

IMHO Stitch in Time is prettier (and cheaper!)

OTOH- Jurassic Park is doing wonderful for me!

Cindy, That picture of Rags just melts my heart! I would have to adopt him on the spot if he showed up at my house. What a cutie! His face is precious and those eyes are just begging for love. I also 'collect' cats. I am down to 3 but at one point we had 5 living in this tiny house at the same time. I have rescued SO many over the years and many have passed on but had the best life here being spoiled rotten. Rags just 'knew' where to turn in his time of need. Babe, Bowie and Whiskey must have gotten the word out...LOL. Your Christmas tree looks lovely. I always feel sad taking down the tree and all the decorations. I love how you made use of marbles in your daffodil planters. I am growing lots of amaryllis inside to help cure the winter blues. Maybe next year I will try some daffys. Thanks for showing us your new 'staff' member and Happy New Year to you too!!! Celeste

Glad Rags anyone?

Glad Rags according to the registration, gets 14"x30" with slight corrugation. I bought it through the Hosta Library Auction a couple of years back. I really wanted it as I know the developer from another hobby of mine. Good guess on the Niagara Falls but it's War Paint which you would have been able to identify a couple of weeks back. Glad Rags is considered rare, but I see that Jim's Hosta has it listed, but its quite "salty".

Thanks for all the feedback on the garden. Cindyj, I do get a lot of sun in my back yard - ran out of room in the shady front yard. However, to confirm Steve's suspicions, the yellow twig and the fence cast a fair amount of shade. The fence is to the west and I have a bank of trees to the east, therefore, most of the sun is mid day. ajfan, my hedge is Arbovitae that has been growing in this location for about 20 years. This type of hedge could cast a fair amount of shade, however my hedge is running east to west. There is a hammer head lot behind mine and this hedge was installed to provide privacy for both homes. After year 15 we started giving it a haircut every two years and and we tie up any loose limbs. This helps keep the hedge tight and compact so it can survive our snowy winter storms. The yellow twig is the Silver and Gold. The foliage on this dogwood stays beautiful all season, not like the red twigs I have tried to grow in the past.

i'll look for my camera. it's around here somewhere. LOL... I just dug up and moved T-Rex, and my shovel cracked getting that monster out - and it's not even close to the size it is supposed to be!

i bought glad rags this spring with some other northern grown intros and in all the plants i got from them i am disapointed of the size glad rags is for the high price it was, very small compared to the others ,but had good roots and right now the colors or markings arent showing yet , hope for the price i paid that it performs well in my gardens , but i also got Jurassic park and the size division is big and healthy and very promissing ...

i would love to see pic of t rex too because mine is at it's 3rd year here and finally starting to have some very decent size leaves but not a big clump yet of course....

my t-rex is very small. it nearly died last year due to a late frost and is still smaller then when i got it (or close) but it is back on track now and i expect a big jump in size from it next year

Hey greenguy, I put a pic of JP on the gallery a couple of weeks ago. I saw a Glad Rags in a garden here last year and I didn't think it was worth the price but I didn't ask how old it was.
