My order arrived yesterday from http://www.ilovehostas.net/cor... This is a picture right after I took them out of the box so they're a little travel weary but otherwise in great shape. Please excuse the ugly board they're on - I just wanted to take a picture quick and didn't think about the background.

From left side clockwise: Tara, Shanghai, Milan, Midas Touch, Amber Waves, Fire Chief.

Chris -

You have some real beauties. I have some of the same ones coming from a group buy with Starlight 1153 and I can't wait to receive them. What is the deep purple one that is way in the back on the right?

I see Bluestone's Clearance sale is going on for the next week. They have quite a few I don't have!! The plants I've gotten from them in the past have been really nice.

Bluestone does have some nice ones I'd like. But I'm really trying to control myself. I already bought a bunch of plants this year. Deb, are you going to order any heurchs?

Carolyn, which ones did you order from Ella?

Chris - I am really excited by that. I have a number to add myself....

Wondering where some of the other people are with their postings to the database. I know a number of people that have signed up for this cubit have some great plants as I have seen photos in the past.......

All, please feel free to add your pictures to the website. Group hug

Those are really nice Chris. I especially like Fire Chief. I saw it at a nursery and it was just stunning. I can't even describe the color. What are the light requirements for Tara? I really would like a Chartreuse one that can tolerate quite a bit of sun. So far Key Lime Pie and Pistache are the best I've found but still turn yellow and brown out if too much sun.

I did get 2 Sweet Tea from my favorite nursery way south of here where we go to get our annuals. They sell all their gallon pots for $7.99, no matter which plant it is - so how could I pass that up! I have coupons for July so may have to go back and see what else they have. My Amber Waves quickly took a turn for the worst early on and that one's recuperating in the Heuchera Hospital.

Carolyn, does your Georgia Peach get any sun? I've found that mine don't like sun at all. I have 3 and 2 of them will get moved to my west side bed. I just tilled in compost to it yesterday and replanted shrubs and added my earlier hosta purchases to it. I wanted to wait for cooler weather before pulling them up. I took one Sparkling Burgundy out of that bed during the heat and it's not happy at all. I hope it'll be ok.

Tara is supposed to be able to take some sun. But you never know until it's actually planted for a while.
