Hi, Paul. My daughter and I will be on the tour too. I went last year, and it was great. They have several buses going. Maybe we could try to meet up at about 7:50 just outside the first bus before we leave - otherwise when we return to Baker Park for the auction and lunch. I suppose we could ask the emcee to make an announcement. Any other ideas? Lois

Thanks Lainey for responding, thought it might get lost in the other pics. Similar look, a bit of blue in one I snapped. I count about 14 vein pairs in my pic vs 9-10 for Lunar Night. Owners said wish they knew what it was, and to let 'em know if I figure it out. Three hosta in particular at this garden I made note of and this was first on my list - figures. Thanks again. Paul

The horticultural name for Bleeding Heart Vine, or Glory Bower, is Clerodendrum Thomsoniae, in case anyone wants to hunt one up. They are hardy to zone 10 -LOL- but can be grown in pots or hangers and wintered indoors for the rest of us. There is also a much hardier shrub, but with different flowers- sort of like skinny lacecap hydrangeas in maroon/pink.

Ken, we are in the Sparta area and going to Shades of Green in Aylmer. Touring some private gardens there as well. I have heard of Ken Lenz and I believe I bought three of his hostas at his place in Colchester a number of years ago. Someone told me he has sold his home and moved. If I run into him I will be sure to say hello for you.
