The hostas were swept up when I returned to get more.....drats! I'm finding that everyday is a new clearance surprise at Lowes. Yesterday, I picked up some shrubs and 6 large containers of Tropicanna canna for $1.00 each. They also had the usual annuals for $0.05, like sweet potato vine (both colors), impatiens, purple fountain grass, petunias, bacopa, and some other things. I have to say that Lowes has been looking pretty good so far this season, with keeping plants watered and the nursery looking alive and abundant (other than their tree section). I hope they can keep it up throughout the summer.

They're ALL looking good! Your Atlantis is going to be pretty this year. Don't you like that vase shape that Regal Splendor gets? ...it sure has rained a lot.

Awesome shots, dfrench! Nothing like a raindrop-covered Hosta leaf. I can get lost in the beauty of them. Your shot of Touch of Class is particularly appealing. I finally have Spilt Milk on order. I've heard it's difficult and slow but it seems SO worth it. Thanks for posting your photos and please add more if you have any.

Sigh... so much beauty. I love looking at hostas dewy with raindrops. What a terrific use of a cinder block - a mini is so perfect in there...thanks for the inspiration, Mbug! :D DR is gorgeous - mine hasn't appeared yet. So happy to see what a fresh Mourning Dove looks like. Mine has me on pins n needles with impatience - today's pip count revealed 21 compared to 7 shoots last year when I brought it home! I can hardly wait. If the colour is as yours, I will be ecstatic! You post just enough to keep us begging for more! Please...
