8/7/15: Snake Eyes has 3 spikes above ground. One looks questionable. We'll see how many open now.
I remind those following along that I said that this thread would continue until i had 2 eyes open; that's coming up pretty fast. But that's not happened yet - a lot can still happen.
I forget who made the observation, although I know it was one of the Hosta communities "great gurus": Bob Axmear, Mark Zillis, or George Schmid ... or maybe someone else who is in that class of standing. The comment was something to the effect of: "One cannot plant a [healthy] hosta incorrectly, nature will always right it." This is one of those cases where I wish I had remembered the comment sooner since I would not have worried so much about how this rhizome ball had been planted.
