Nice to see you back ViolaAnn. Your Galaxy looks really nice. Mine is reverting and I'm too lazy to try and keep up! It seems to do it every season.

NJBob said: Was wondering if everything was ok since I have not seen you on the site this season. Galaxy is a great looking plant.

Just been keeping busy in spite of being in quarantine. Will get a bit less busy tomorrow. I'm chair of the board of the local emergency food cupboard and we have our AGM tomorrow at which point I'll be finishing my terms on the Board. We've also been involved with a strategic planning initiative and I've been getting quite familiar with Zoom. At rate, I'm fine. Just bloody angry that I'm an at-risk person mostly by virtue of having lived long enough. It's a situation over which I have NO control.

Anyway, it was mostly overcast today and I took another round of pictures and worked more on editing the second round. Should have more to share shortly.

Yes First Blush does loose the color as it heats up.

Great looking hosta's Rose!

Thanks!

Bob,
I'm going by memory, since I have no tags left... sometimes that's dangerous! I'm pretty sure it's Confused Angel, but I could be wrong.

I think you are right just that the streaked ones vary so much. Yours looks like it is a young plant , mine is very large now a good 4 feet wide that has good streaking in the Spring and get more blue as the Summer comes along. Thought it was reverting but every Spring it shows the streaking.

My Confused Angel is still in a pot waiting for that perfect place! It's been in that spot for 5 years. I'm sure it's really root bound. I guess I'd better plant it, since it seems to like that spot!

Are you ready to show how your beautiful raised bed is doing? It should be filling in by now. I'm sure it's gorgeous! Placing all those stones had to have been a back breaking job, but well worth it by now.

I will have to take some pictures my next day off. I have been changing it up a bit this year. Had lots of double plants in it and want to eventually make it al different ones.

Great pics Rose

Very nice Rose. I looked up Paradise Power and Embroidery as soon as I looked at this. But I will have to keep looking . Green Mountain has PP but not accepting any more orders and no luck with Embroidery. Anyone ever order from Green Mountain?

Tried to find Embroidery last year with no luck, Rose must be one of the few that are able to keep it alive.

Seems like so many are only around for a couple of years then are gone.

My Embroidery is at least 10 years old. Most I ever paid for a hosta. $75.
