Comments (3)Jeanne, what a WUNNERFUL collection of pictures and plants! It truly is exciting to have something growing in one's yard that is utterly unique, be it a sport or a seedling. The fun with seedlings is not just the seedlings themselves, but also the planning and anticipation of things to come.... I'm eager to try a couple of crosses this year, but realize only too well that you need seed before you can get seedlings and seedlings need time to mature and show their true colours and form. Hope springs eternal and oh, the anticipation.......See MoreHosta Mini 2014
Comments (45)I am enjoying the great display of Mini's. I especially love McTavish's huge collection displayed with all the rock accents. Very nice. I was surprised to see how unusually tall the flowers were on Peren.all's Blue Mouse Ears.
