I bought a nice sized Rainbow's End last summer and it's looking pretty good this spring!

Hoping mine gets a little bigger, I may have to move it, it may be getting to much afternoon sun.

This hosta seedling has been coming up for the last 5+ years, never gets any bigger than these 2 leaves and always stays this color!

I'm in deep trouble, I ordered more hostas, one of them was Wrinkle in Time. Did I say no more Hosta?

Not getting more is a promise none of us keep. We just tell ourselves that to keep it a bit under control.

Midnight Oil and What's That

I've been eyeing What's That for a couple years. Carole Brashear posted a picture of her Midnight Oil. It's almost black!

I just ordered blue mouse ears, I think they have better chance of growing now then ordering them later. I have a tiny area that I need something. This is free shipping, so it's not as bad.
