I remember writing a rant in 1998 when Paul's Glory was selected hosta of the year for 1999... to all and sundry... how in the heck could PG be hosta of the year when June is so obviously the better plant. Then Sagae got HOTY 2000 and I continued to be upset. The hosta growers finally caught up... June was HOTY in 2001. It didn't take long for June to race up to the top of the popularity poll... trading 1st and 2nd placed back and forth with Sagae. Interesting that with the many thousands of releases since, that those two "oldies" continue to be at the top of the popularity list. I've grown pretty much all the older members of the Halcyon family... so including the siblings and cousins, there is one... only one... that I've had no luck with... Silver Scrolls... dark green, thin white margin... should be as vigorous as Devon Green... just doesn't grow for me... like its permanently dwarfed. Quite the disappointment.

I have made this before as well as other flavors. As a matter of fact I made blueberry and strawberry and took to Alyssa's first birthday meal at the church. We called it the pink stuff and the blue stuff. She celebrated with a little boy that is 4 days older than she is. Sue

Lol, let's hope it's not a portent of things to come. Don't forget progress updates. ;)

You were right-I do like that picture! What a lovely cottage. Wish I could see something like that when I walk around here.
