I have a Big Daddy, which was not much for 8 or so years, except this spring. Blue Angel seems to be a fast grower, I have two of those. I just bought a Blue Mammoth, in a pot with several eyes so I do not have to wait so long. The Hosta Library states : "...The foliage mound reaches a generous 54 x 48", and the plant is a rapid grower. The pale lavender flowers bloom early and it is considered to be floriferous. Van Wade recommends 35% shade but says the plant will accept as much as 85% sun. The leaves are a light blue, cordate, and have excellent substance. "Nearly" slug-proof. " I can not wait for a 36 to 48 inch tall powder blue mount of Blue Mammoth. Pictures in the Hosta Library show no stems, seems to be a winner. But then my Blue Angles also will be large and great looking. Bernd

Beth, Boy do I remember that summer! I was recuperating from surgery and we had to evacuate a few times to our daughter's house. But they had a houseful of people (his parents, too) with blow-up mattresses and the wind was so forceful, it blew the rain right through the brick in their living room......what a mess. At least I could sit and fold towels. DH went up on the roof, did a patch job and it hasn't leaked again, so hopefully it's taken care of. I'm thankful that even at his age, he is so handy. Can't remember what day it is, but still remembers his handyman skills. lol

The green and yellow is a "common" one I just can't remember what it is.

Computer's back (yay!) although it's not completely fixed and is going back (boo). Igot out in the garden and looked around. Five O Clock Shadow is all green - I was thinking of Devil's Advocate.
