Better Late than never I guess. Most of you are thinking the summer is winding down. To me it is like it's just starting. I'm doing spring jobs that are normally done in May and June. Our weather has been lousy but now that it's almost reached 90 for a week - I'm happy.

I always like to look at other's pictures so I will try to add some in on the alphabet as I get the time. It may take a while.

Ken, My American Sweetheart looks like Frank's early in the season. It gets darker as time goes by. I'll post some pictures if I get the chance.

Late or not, McT., you are an inspiration. Your pics are always the best and your hostas look flawless. I covet all three of these, but especially Awakening Angel. Gorgeous!

Steve

Thanks Steve, I do like taking and looking at pictures. The Awakening Angel has really impressed me. Quite a few new ones this year were already big enough to "show off" and stand out in a grouping. It was one of them. Here is a picture of Awakening Angel with it's group of pots. Just below it is Lime Piecrust - another new one this year. Love it too. You'll notice that I copied the round planter look posted on the forum in the spring by I'm sorry I forget who. It was a blue mouse Ears in a flat, round blue pot. I was so impressed with the look. I went looking for round pots and plants to put in them. This blue pot that Awakening Angel is in was at a local nursery for $6. I thought that was pretty good. Above the wall is Baby Bunting in a white round pot that I had and another blue one has Limey Lisa planted in it. Sorry for rambling, I'm avoiding housework....
