wren-garden, wish I could answer your question, but this is the very first bloom I've had. Overcast today, with some showers. Predicting rain every day til next week, so I don't know when I will know how it will do under normal conditions. It is about noon now, I just came in & it looks like it did this morning. I've been waiting on this bloom, & was so sure it would storm this morning so I couldn't see it. Kay, Beautiful Edgings is always beautiful, isn't it? One of those older ones everyone should have. I sure wish you could get some of this rain, our backyard was a pond yesterday, got almost 1 3/4" rain in a very short time, makes about 5 1/2" in 4 days. My iris are not looking good.

Really good looking hosta. The more pictures the better. I've never seen a So Sweet with crinkly leaves before. None of the images in Hosta Library show crinkles. It is pretty though. I have one plant (None Lovelier) which crinkled up like that and it was from frost damage, or so I hope. Keep an eye on it in for any future eyes emerging that might have the usual leaf.

Keith---is that red on the leaves typical of Yuri hime? Because my (supposed) Yuri has never shown that type of coloration...

hrm,

This is my first spring with the plant. After your question I read the Yuri Hime photo thread on UBC maples forum. Perhaps mine isn't the true cultivar. Seems like a bit of confusion with some of the 'hime' selections.

Fantastic photos Keith! The 'Kasagi Yama' is especially stunning. I think mjsee may be right about your 'Yuri Hime'. I've seen it listed a bunch of places recently, but none of the pics match what I believe is the true cultivar, otherwise I'd pic up another one as it is easily in my top five favorites. Here's a pic of mine, it's 10-12 years old and 21" inches high by 32" wide. If you graft, and need scions let me know.

P.S. looks like I've got to get the gold creeping Jenny under control :)

Dan,

thanks for the photo. beautiful plant. looks like I will need to change the tag to 'unknown' on mine.

I do graft and I have a bunch of rootstock for the winter.

I would gladly take some scion and would return a couple of the finished grafts to you.

email me at kb_guess at yahoo dot com

thanks,
Keith
