Isn't it nice when you get some help to do things. I saw a washing machine with something white planted in it and flowing down the side to look like soap suds. I think it was on this site. Anyway it all looks great. Mayme

I concur with carrieb, bridal wreath spirea?

Yes, Permanent Wave is indeed unique in its leaf display, and bloom. It becomes quite showy and large with age. It was a seedling that Mom gave away to a close friend, Jim Langhammer of Royal Oak (thanks Jim for all the garden memories!) who several years later brought it back to her and said it was worthy of registration and a neat name, even though it was all green. She was not a fan of all green hosta unless they had uniqueness. After receiving the plant back into her garden, she wracked her brain (and mine!)for a suitable name. Mom was getting her Saturday hair fixed and as she sat under the hair dryer at the hair salon, her eyes fell on a poster for selling some "Permanent Wave", and thus the name was found. John Kulpa of course is a fantastic hosta hybridizer in his own right - but Whirlwind was a chance find in the trade. There has been a writeup on it and its progeny recently in the AHS Hosta Journal. Thanks, John for the great plants! Bruce

LOL...DS and DIL took Ricky and Seth to Disneyland on Saturday and I told DS to take cell phone pics throughout the day and send them to me on my phone. (he does that alot) Anyway I only got about 4 all day and they were the backs of the boys pretty much. I told DH he's sendign me crappy pictures and text him back to send better ones! They wore these shirts that day and they didn't want me to see them until I got this picture the next day so they were afraid to take the front views of them! They were laughing all day about how mad I was getting with the back views...I just couldn't understand what he was doing. Now I get it! When they got home I got all the pictures from their digital camera! I felt better! LOL.....gotta please momma!
