It's been raining all weekend but I was able to get out and take a few pictures this morning. Everything is so pretty and green right now. I have quite a few still in the pip stage but here are some that are farther along.

Linda- I've been trying to catch my Neptune at the right time of day to see that wavy edge and almost white backing on the leaves. You did it! What a marvelous plant. My Goodness Gracious looks nothing like yours. Hmmmmmmm. Does your lighten up soon? I didn't pay attention when mine first emerged a month ago.

It's nice to look your hostas, they are beautiful. Mine are still under ground and nights are cold. I have to wait little more.

all very nice! I like "heavenly blue" too- I grew them several years ago, they reseeded once for me, but then were gone- With working full time, I don't get to see them open much, so I have moved on to other things (thanks to GW, w/s and seed exchange!) I do still love them though, and yours are very nice! thanks, Linda

John, I potted every breweriana and put them in my unheated hoophouse and they all died. During one of the coldest days of the winter I looked outside and saw the hoophouse was ripped to shreds. I had shingles fly off my home and rip the poly. I don't believe it was that single (overnight) event that killed them, however. I rushed and brought everything into my basement and placed them all on blankets, however I couldn't water. Lots of combinations of bad. That beech is an interesting character of a plant John and Robin. It's weeping. It's purple for a good amount of time then gradually turns green. Fall color is pretty decent. Beng: 100% agree. Our thoughts are precisely on the same page. Severn, they'll all return. It'll be five years until they look perfect again. Have a nice weekend everyone. Robin email me anytime for your guided tour :-) Dax

Very nice pictures. Isn't it a treat when a bonus plant thrills you so much? I have several in my garden that I love, and never would have considered if they hadn't been sent as gift plants. I love the bold colors of CONCRETE BLOND and ALABAMA JUBILEE, but I have to choose PEACHES AND GOLD as my favorite (maybe because it reminds me of orange sherbert, which is sounding pretty good right now in the heat!).

Thanks for the compliments!

Babka- I am really loving Neptune this year! Last year it got some frost bite so it didn't look so good and this year it is quite a bit bigger too. Goodness Gracious lightens up a lot as the season goes on. Here is a pic from last year.

Nice Linda. If I remember correctly you had a pretty rough winter in Utah. things must have made a comeback in Spring. Rain washes everything and perks everything up; it evens smells fresh.

We had a normal winter with snow on the ground for most it. Hasn't been like that in a few years. Spring has also been kind to us so far...no freeze warnings yet....and hopefully none to come because now the plants are getting too big to cover easily. It was 80 degrees the other day and now the next week it looks like rain for most of it but the temps are not too cold. Maybe I will luck out this year and not have to cover stuff.

Your hostas are all looking good! Your Montana aureomarginata makes me want to try another one. Your Neptune is farther along than mine. You found a couple of nice new ones, too.

It was good to have a deep snow cover for several months and now we've had nice rains. I'm also hoping we won't have to cover anything because that gets hard the bigger they get.

Looks great, Linda! I just got a 'Neptune' a couple weeks ago. I have City Lights, Brother Stefan, Atlantis, Spartacus and Wolverine. Wolverine is an extremely fast grower in my experience. It'll probably double its pip count for you in spring 2017. Keep the pics coming when your others get going! : )
