Wow, it DOES. At least in the Hosta Library photos, although what I have is much smaller. Hey, maybe this is it! I'll have to check it against the flower photos when it blooms. Thanks! Again, though, dang, you'd think the name would ring a bell... I've had surgery twice since last fall and each time, I swear, I wake up stupider. The anesthetic just wipes out big hunks o' recent memories. Here is a link that might be useful: Hosta Library 'Silk Kimono'

Tigerdawn, love your pink hellebore!! Do you have white? Want white? Want to trade seed? I only have white. (Sorry Larry, but your thread has been hijacked.) Things that are green in my yard right now include boxwood, spruce, camellia, rhodies, euonymus, holly, nandina,(flushed with burgundy) oxalis, hardy autumnblooming cyclamen, ajuga, lambsear, rose campion (these two are silver) Shasta Daisy and in the garden the arugula, winter onion, garlic, leeks, carrots, cilantro and kale are all still alive and green. And the windbreak on the north side of the orchard is a row of pine trees we planted 30 years ago. And then of course there are the winter weeds in the lawn. Henbit, chickweed, wild violets are all out there now. We never weedkill in our lawn so it looks green all winter. And much of it is fescue and that stays green all winter.

Dee--When you're in Myrtle Beach, I hope we're in your EATING THOUGHTS---lol. Remember, you have to answer to us upon your return! I am almost through my 5th day of CONTROLLED EATING!!!! Hey, ya gotta start somewhere and I am doing well so far. The weather is HOT --for HERE, milkdud--lol--we're in the upper 70's and lower 80's. That helps me drink more and eat less. I'll have my FIRST weigh in on Monday, so I'll be here for that. Wodka, I am on the same page with you and the dentist's drill. When I was a youngster, my dad and mom took me to an old military dentist friend and his novocaine was WAY out of date and didn't work. I never recovered from those experiences and every dental visit is MAJOR trauma for me, emotionally---besides pinching me in the pocket book! DonnaSNJ! YAY! Good to hear from you! Stay in Touch!!!!! Whatcha been doin'? TreKaren---You've got more guts than me. I went to ONE cycling class and quit---about 2 years ago. It KILLED ME! I do ride my "outside" bike in the summer though. I have padded seat bike pants AND a gel seat---hey! Even though I have extra *fat* padding on my fanny, I still need the other padding; I don't know why! Joyce---You don't want to see your grandchildren, I gather! haha. I can TOTALLY relate to getting your house ready for an open house--it took me SO long--but I finally found I couldn't be a perfectionist about it. Just so the surface stuff and CLEAR it out into the garage or a storage bin as much as you can---then breathe, relax, and get ready! REANNE, NHSuzanne,Marci, and Besh---Get in here---NOW. You guys are MIA too often lately. We're SISTAHS, remember. Ohana now. No one gets left behind... What ever happened to PJ from CA? I wonder what she's up to???? Anybody remember her? Tikanas was her online name. I so enjoyed hearing about her busy and active life... Okay, enjoy! Oh, BTW, DH fired me yesterday at about 9:30am--WOW! I am back at work now, but I have to tell you, working FOR your spouse is a sticky wicket--in more ways than one. (I've only been fired once before, when my ex was having an affair with my boss and she wanted me out of the picture. They served me divorce papers on my birthday...but that was another lifetime ago...)

"Luck" of the draw 😉 the tornado could have landed on house, someone could have been in a car accident... It really could have been worse!!!! My child will get there. It's what we all suffer, and grow from. I'd rather they experience it, they'll grow from it. If you don't experience it, you don't live!!!
