Thanks Lainey for responding, thought it might get lost in the other pics. Similar look, a bit of blue in one I snapped. I count about 14 vein pairs in my pic vs 9-10 for Lunar Night. Owners said wish they knew what it was, and to let 'em know if I figure it out. Three hosta in particular at this garden I made note of and this was first on my list - figures. Thanks again. Paul

Teresa, What a fabulous time we had in your fair state! It was wonderful of you to give up Sunday to spend with Rita and me and show us your garden and introduce us to the two nursery/hosta/display gardens. Thanks for sharing your plants with us. Your knowledge of hostas and their origins made me realize how little I really know about my favorite plant! I'm just happy to remember what little I do about them!!!!! We left with our pocket books slimmer but very happy to have all the new additions to our gardens. Thank you again from both of us, Connie and Rita

I seriously LOVE to bake and/or will stop at Caribou or SBs on the way!!! You are right about the "Minneapolis" part that I should have put in the title...but it can be for anybody to make a get together for themselves too.

what a brilliant system ... i especially like the clear cups held in the cell packs ... you can see how vigorous the roots are ... i dont know what to tell you about the timing.. i will have to ponder that part ... i used to keep the lights at about 2 inches from the plants ... but what i can tell.. is how many bulbs per level???? if one or two ... how do the ones toward the edges.. get sufficient light levels??? ... especially the lower you go ... unless you are moving them all the time ... i used to have 2 two light fixtures per level ... to spread the light intensity ... regardless.. you will be able to tell.. becasue the plants will start leaning toward the light.. so shuffle them around .. eh ... have you looked into the seedling links at the library ... never know where you will find a kernel of knowledge??? .. maybe even write to bob.. and give him a link to this post.. and ask him about your timing issue .... dont be shy.. worse he can do.. is ignore you.. and i highly doubt that he would ... i dont think chris does seeds... so i dont know if he could help ... i will continue to ponder the issue ... where are you.. more specifically ... and do you have a garage where you could carry them all ... to force the requisite dormancy??? .. lets say.. for the 50 odd days.. and then bring them back in.. and activate them again ... babs.. we in z5 have a giant refrigerator.. it called a midwest winter.. lol ... but you gave me the idea ... so i am working off it .... stop all fert pretty soon .. we want them to slow down.. and harden off ... and then figure out.. what the hell to do with them ...lol ken
