Thank you Josephine, you are a special lady. Very nice presentation of the "fellas".

I spent the day with my son and grandkids in my little retreat out back.

Thanks, Jo, I really appreciate that! I've been out playing in the front yard most of the day, planting annuals for summer color. Now, I go to the backyard and play with hostas : )

I second this! Happy Father's Day to all you fathers and grandfathers and I hope you have a wonderful day and, best of all, get to spend some or all the day with at least some of your kids and grandkids, or at least get to hear from them if they live far away. Dawn

I will agree with you it's Erigeron/Conyza and not Solidago.The leaves seem a bit wider than the Solidago leaves I've been seeing. What is more confusing to me is trying to I.d. the many different Erigeron species.You seem to have more of a problem with E. canadensis in your area,while in my area according to the extention service,E. annuas seems to be the culprit.And besides these 2 species,there are several others floating around doing who knows what!

Aw, you fellas are special! Jerry, that is a beautiful garden and path! I absolutely adore it! Is that shiny edging plant Wild Ginger, or?? Bet your "boys" think your garden is something else! :-)

Yes Josephine, European Wild Ginger (starter from 2 single shoots). The Grandkids do seem to enjoy it.

Steve, in my garden Striptease is a non-gender hosta! Lol. I always refer to it as "it"... weird but true! Lol

Brother Stefan looks beautiful. I love that crumpled look. How old is he?

Thank you, I think he is beautiful too! He is just a new boy here...purchased from Hosta Choice last month.

I was really happy when I saw how full it appeared. Glenn actually picked it out for me before I got there - for a newbie, it has great form and has gained a second flush of leaves. :)

vivian, if you are referring to my pic, that is Dream Queen. Quite similar to Thunderbolt I understand...thank you.

josephine, funny how we attach a gender to them. Regardless of what is going on in the world, I've never had one change, Big Mama can never be Big Daddy or vice versa. lol

old_dirt, Thank you for the clarification. Your dream queen is very beautiful (so is your entire garden)! I have a small dream queen (was bigger last couple years but tree roots finally got to her). I moved her to another spot without root competition. Now I have something to look forward to!

I got my dad Flamenco Mouse for Father's Day as well as Heuchera Circus and Sweet Tart.

Being the great dad he is, he potted up one of the eyes of Flamenco Mouse for me to take home :)
