Elizabeth - how large was your 'Stealth' when you got it? Mine is still just one eye this year, but I'm hoping for more growth next year.

Was THRILLED to see my 'Lakeside Mom' go from 1 to 4 eyes this year. Mine was also new last year.

The 'Montana Aureomarginata' above is lovely.

I'm getting pics of mine now and will start a thread when I have enough unfurled.

Ann, I think my 'Stealth' was two or three eyes when I bought it in 2008. It has multiplied and both last year and this I dug out one solid eye. It has mostly unfurled and looks great this year, excellent streaking and pebbling. The pebbling is a surprise, last year and in 2008 the leaves were smooth. Last year it really was a plant I considered getting rid of because it was just really blah and the slugs decimated it. This year it is like a whole new plant.

Here are two pictures of 'Stealth' this morning in my garden. Here is the whole plant. I didn't count the eyes, there are probably around 6-7.
