What a year this has been! I imagine I can hear the garden breathing a sigh of relief at the cooler temperatures and the little bit of rain we had. I know the gardener is enjoying the difference. I hope you have a magnificent fall flush. I love the bigger blooms and brighter colors the roses have in fall. Carol

Shelley, I don't know the name of these. I picked up a package last fall at McFayden's, and they were just labeled Snow Crocus Mixed, so I'm hoping for a variety of colours. Yes, they are teeny tiny, but at this time of year, I'll take just about any kind of flower......except dandelions that is!lol GC, I sure feel for you guys out in Alberta. Not very nice weather for this time of year. We've been really lucky in Manitoba, the last week has been beautiful, and according to my thermometer, it hasn't gone below freezing the last few nights, and we've had highs around +20. But of course that could change in an instant.

Hi Connie, Thanks for the compliment! This FW has its flaws, but from what I am learning from this site is that it is perfectly normal for it. I wish I would have done more research prior to my purchase. I might have stayed away from it.

Hey ya'll!! Thanks for the kudos on my hosta choices... I really do love them all! They are all outside now, and just waiting for me to have some free time to get them planted. I guess I am waiting to make DOUBLE-SURE that we will not get some freaky-late frost in May, so I will probably hold out a little while longer. On Stage is now poking up further. Looks to be about 6 eyes, wahoo!! It was lots of fun to pick out hostas in April, especially since several of mine have gotten "zapped" by the frost and aren't looking so hot. I dropped MAJOR hints prior to Christmas, so hubby and other family members got the hint and bought me the gift cards. For toymr2mk2... the nursery where I got these hostas does have an excellent selection of hostas, but I wouldn't say they "specialize" in hostas. They are a full-service nursery that has TONS of plants, all kinds really. I will definitely be making more trips back there this summer, as there were many more that I wanted... For PIM... once I get them planted, I will definitely be posting more pics here. Hope you all had a great weekend!! Thanks, Buff
