Perfect ! Thank you! I love the combo. It looks just like I hoped it would be! I hope I have my MM enough room. If not I can always easily thin the mondo/monkey grass and move it further out. I planted 7 very small MM and two young S&S. Behind them. The S&S have some frost damage and the grass is new and spindly also ( sounds kind of horrible when Zi describe it) , but I'll take a picture later in the summer. This is along the front edge of a shade new garden where I have some seating. I was hoping for a little privacy without completely hiding it. I have a Shade Fanfare to one side on the other side of a small tree but we'll see how I like it there. It might be too similiar without being the same it it or might be fine.

I saw it! It made me think of you all. I wondered if anyone else would see it. I found it in Iowa while we are visiting. I don't think the Mpls. paper carries Get Fuzzy, or I never read it. Maybe you propogaters will have to consider this next time you name a new baby.

Sherry, yes, I want to add spray mist to the Ravine down back. I have been thinking and thinking and it appears to be more difficult than I first thought. The line has to be buried; no problem with flexible PVC, the problems lie with the route. Taking a straight route is feasible, but it involves crossing septic lines (kind of scary to me). Other routes run into BIG roots which is a BIG problem. Going way around might work, but doubles the work and cost. I still want to do it and I probably will, but right now it has me concerned. Maybe I can sneak over the septic lines in a shallow trench. This is really the only practical way to go. To be honest, it is not something I look forward to. ....but keep the pressure on. Jon Postscript- you know, I may just take some good garden hose and bury it, put a splitter tee on the end to water the plants down there with the spray going or not. Have another splitter at the faucet to be able to use it without disconnecting the 'water feature. So it may rot out in 7-8 years, so what. My neighbor made an 'in-ground' sprinkler system by burying a hose and hooking it up to a sprinkler in the mulch and watered his front lawn like that for about 10 years; simply turn the faucet on. I am definitely overthinking this whole thing.

Sure looks like a sport from out here, although it seems to be trying to figure out its own variegation. Do you have any photos of the main plant from last year in mid summer to help with the ID? Then you could check the hosta database for registered sports. I would separate it just to see what happens next year. The more vigorous green eyes of the hosta would might overpower your little cutie. Have fun with your new discovery! -Babka
