Ken, "there is some weird veining in that first pic ..." Do you mean the Dream Queen? It has been very crinkly as it unfurls but as it pumps up the leaves it is smoothing out, I don't think that there is a problem but I will keep a good eye on "my children" lol! I pretty much know what is in each by the pot as so many are different (shabby Chic lol) but the photos help too, buttocles well covered! Yes the stacking is a PIA with the labels but can be done with care, yes don't be too jealous, we had a touch of summer in april which woke everything up and then went back to winter its not nice, the buds on my Spanish chestnuts got frosted and the new growth on the fucshia hedge got badly burned, all will be well but could do without it. Frugaljon, thats interesting what you say about BB, i will just have to keep an eye on it and see, your pots look great, nice shady corner, whats the lovely rippled blue in the back corner? You are well on the way to catch up, welcome to the slippery slope lol. Denis

Pagen, I took that picture in the shade so i don't think it is the sun shining on the yellow. I will take a closer look. Sometimes I don't notice things until i take a picture.. if that makes sense. I'm really happy with the yellow. My new favorite.

Esther, yes Lakeside Zinger is also in this pot. I have to take a new picture, they have really grown this week. It's just funny that we both have such a pot with STGN. I also planted a few new ones today.Found seven of those pots at the scrap metal dealer and planted Masquerade, Tortifrons and Cameo. They are short pieces of gutter closed at both ends and are standing on small metall feet. They fit perfectly on my new wooden stairs and I will plant more of my minis tomorrow.

I love how fast obscura roots! Never a problem with this happy Hoya. Beautiful flowers! Congrats!
