Comments (22)sgyn - I'm so glad you see the value of this work and are doing it. We have plants growing here that are grown from seeds that Mr. Nash sent us, circa 1997, from 'Let's Streak'. My wife will look in her notebooks to see if there's any further information we can send you. Years ago I labeled one of them 'Nash Subtle Green' as a tribute. Somewhere in this garden is an F2 streaker from those seeds. I called Mr. Schmid, who is listed as the AHS Historian, to let him know about some of the historically interesting things being written by Mr. Banyai on this forum. He didn't seem put off at all. A series of interviews with him would make interesting reading in the journal ! Regards, the Hosta hillbilly...See MoreDancing W the Stars 10-21
Comments (17)I agree that Brooke might win this. But I love Warren! I also agree that the "big" dance number they were all hyping last night was totally lame. The choreography was boring and the dancers were weak. Although the street dancers were great. As for Cloris - well, somebody is voting for her. She's still on. As annoying as she can sometimes be, I think for some people she is representing more than just the dancing. To see an 82 year old woman as active as she is, is something. I should be so lucky at her age. In my personal opinion I think Cloris is more about age and attitude than about the dancing, and I suspect that is why she is still being voted in. Not to say she isn't annoying at times!...See MoreTributes to those we love and lost
Comments (33)My grandma died when I was 17, she was my best friend. She fought cancer for about 12 years. Every Christmas all I can think about is how wonderful Christmas at her house was. Since she passed away, not one of my Christmas's has even come close to the way they were with her still here, and that was 14 years ago. I also miss my grandpa, who went downhill after my grandma died. I always thought that he died of a broken heart, 3 years ago. Most of my best memories are of spending time with them. And also my friend Jermiy, who I had been friends with for almost 20 years. He died 2 years ago in a 4-wheeler accident. I miss them all so much....See MoreW. George Schmid
Comments (5)Yes, I know I had to have that book back then too, and it sat on my cocktail table for years! Man, he even dissected the flowers. To me, he IS the father of the Genus Hosta. It is wonderful to have the updates at the Library. -Babka...See Moredjacob Z6a SE WI
