Here is my Wild Horses. I held up very well to wet and to heat. I bought mine on the LA and planted this spring. It was a nice clump when I received it. Put up 9 scapes and flowered from Jun 27 to Aug 8. The scapes were shorter this year than typical for others growing it in this region but the flowers were large, probably just short because it was new. There were a few days when it was more peach than its normal creme and I am certain it was weather related.

I have the willow friendship girl from friend in Tn. She has flowers in her hands like she is going to give them to me(flowers are wire). They are so sweet.Love all your decor & dishes. I notice something tho, your tray is different than 1 they show in 1985 Hall book by Margaret & Kenn Whitmyer. The tray on page 37 has round handles on end like the 2 side ones on yours but bigger.I like yours much better Since it was only made in 1975-disc. in 76 both kinds would be quite rare I would think. They made so many things in Autumn Leaf, playing cards,bowl covers(shower cap looking)linens, canister sets, flour sifter, thermos( about 1 gal I think with spigot )Metal pieces the finish disappears at sight of water they said.Bread box & cake carriers, cooking pots & even a kitchen chair which is probably worth a fortune now. Jewel Tea came around our neighborhood but never stopped at my house, seemed to have appointments at 2 houses over in cul -de- sac?? I love the Aladdin teapot, it's such a neat shape. i have a 6 in tall water pitcher or maybe coffee pot(no rim indent or anything) got a few months ago for $1. couldn't pass that up! Gold little thin around top of it but in great shape otherwise. Glad you got a cabinet just for your beautiful collection!! Hope I can get this on tonight as last night when I pushed preview message the Penny's ad came up!! Jan

Thanks for the nice comments. The center strip is green with a tiny design in it and the lighter 'leaf' fabric has some of the same color green in it (well, pretty close to the same color). Hi barbara3--didn't know there was another NLer here---so nice to 'see' you. From your profile, I'm guessing that you spend a lot of time in the gardening forum area. Do you live near St. John's? I THINK I got the lighter leaf fabric at Fashionable Fabrics in Mount Pearl. I had planned to do all the the leaf blocks with that fabric, but when I went to get more, it was sold out---isn't that always the way!! The new owner has a better store layout and has some nice fabrics. ~Geraldine

Mk, your new little man going to get taught hosta-lore??? ;-) so Excited for you - 40 years later and I still remember details, especially the thrill of my firstborn. Best of luck - it's nice you shared that special news with us. This forum is one large family where strangers care for one another...simply because of one simple common denominator - the hosta. I'm sure we are not exclusive in this, that it exists on other forums, but this one is special to me. Have a wonderful day, mama-to-be. :-)
