HL Auction and Naylor Creek

11 years ago

I was over to the HL Auction checking out the scenery, and discovered that one of my favorite sources of hosta, Naylor, has their 2013 Hosta catalog up there. It explained that their website was being updated as well, which did not deter me. I simply put in the link below, and found that the same PDF catalog is clickable there too, until the site is finally updated.

I checked and saw an assortment of new additions to their hosta, although I'm not buying anything else this fall.

Welllll, I was saying this until I saw......

BRIDAL FALLS

and then if you're into minis, look at the sport of Blue Cadet, BABY DOLL. A cutiewith gold/chartreuse middle and a darker blue/green margin. A real doll it seems.

Plus the BEACH BOY sport of Dream Weaver. Read about it in the catalog. If you are challenged by Great Expectations and not ready to throw in the towel yet, this medium sized hosta might be worth trying. It is new with them this year.

I was trying to scan through the catalog quickly and got bogged down in the B's.......too tempting to go any further.

Moc,

You cannot 'enable' even me at this time of the year; nice try;-)

MOI? HH, now would I do such a thing, when even I closed the door....or the pocketbook...for the year.

I SWEAR, the WadeGatton order in the mail as we speak, is the very last one. I'll never "touch another drop" at least THIS YEAR.

Besides, I lost a few to the fire ants aerating the roots, and to the southern blight...yeah, a second one became infected after a week of rain and warm weather with high humidity. It was my H yingeri.

Chris-e, It is nice to hear that you have had good results from Marcella. Hopefully she has changed. My experience with her has been to the contrary, and I don't recommend her because a plant she shipped to me arrived with 3 out of 4 petioles totally broken in half, so I had to look at that forlorn tiny little plant for the whole season. She was perfectly fine with that. I wasn't. She was not willing to work with me ( make a price adjustment for the shipping damage, or ask me to return the plant for another)until I mentioned that I'll post what she sent me here on the Garden Web. I never received another message from her, just Paypal telling me that my money was refunded. So, in her defense, she did OKAY, but unlike other places I've ordered from since the 2000's, she was not willing to accept that perhaps the packing wasn't very secure. A piece of tape in the box would have prevented the plant from getting dumped on its head by the PO thereby breaking the petioles, or more packing around it. Whatever... Perhaps she has changed her customer service, which would be a good thing. So this is just a heads up. I prefer to purchase from an Auction seller who responds in a more customer friendly way. There are plenty of those, and they are on the recommended list. If they mess up (and stuff happens sometimes) they are willing to talk. Marchella wasn't in my case. -Babka Here is a link that might be useful: Where to buy hostas

Thanks everyone, I'll see if I can find some outdoor use glue for this type of situation and see if it works.... As for the final, I did fail it. I knew I would so it's not a big shock but I am very disappointed in myself. It brought my grade down to a D for the semester and my cumulative GPA down from 3.5 to 3.335 or something like that. :( Very mad at myself. Ken, never say never I guess. I will try to order again in a month or so and see if I can get it paid for. I might add some more on to my order, too. But right now, I am just enjoying what I have... Today they are getting a good soaking in the rain. The self watering planters the Patriot, F. Aureomarginata and Wide Brim are currently in may have to go. Fall is usually rainy here and they are needing to be dumped out every hour or so. First I need to concentrate on getting them some pots that drain good and don't hold water and produce mud in heavy rains.

I apologize for making a separate second thread on this subject, But it took ten minutes for this one to show up in the forum, and I thought maybe I'd deleted it....duh..... so sorry. Yes, I should get my first Naylor print catalog, which this PDF file is probably it in electronic form. You see, I was not ordering hosta when the 2012 cat came out, so I did not know they had a print catalog. tsk tsk tsk...live and learn. In that second thread, I mention the addition of Bridal Falls to their repertoire. Babka, if they are offering some oldies and goodies, then I'll be paying attention, and perhaps getting ready for spring with the print catalog same as you. Never doubt that Bridal Falls is at the TOP of my list for next year, even if the list is a short one.

Bernd, it came from Avalon Acres, or AAHosta listed in the Hosta Finder.

It is one I'll doubtless replace for next year. This one has some unique qualities.

Mr. Yinger wrote in a recent Hosta Journal about how he discovered this and another species years ago on a Korean island. It is attractive with its dark green shiny leaves with wavy borders. This is a hosta someone could grow under saltwater spray. Thanks! Bernd

I just planted my 2 fall orders a couple of weeks ago, and this week planted 20 new babies.....plus there are all the seedlings from last winter that I want to plug in here and there......I think I'm done for the fall.

However, I will probably spend the winter months drooling over the Naylor Creek catalog. One never knows what I'll want for spring. That's 5 months and a whole new attitude away.

Sandy, well said....when you make your new "wish" list, use a pencil with an eraser! :)

Bernd, I hope there will be another H. yingeri available next spring, because it is one I like to have around. Several unique features, including the flowers. Next year I'll be more vigilant about care in humid conditions after a lot of rain, which opened the door to southern blight. I only lost two, but they were two I really liked.
