Thank you Holly. I purchased the Siam Ruby from Florida Hill last month. I will see if I winter it okay this year. As long as everyone stays healthy I should be okay. If someone get sick again I know it will probably die.

David ..... About the Hostas.....I do not grow them in sun the entire time but I read that was how the growers got fast growth. If you put them in sun the first year and water the heck out of them they do the leap thing fast instead of the first year sleep second year creep third year leap. I am an impatient person. So I push them because I want big fast.

If they are planted in Leafmold, and watered once a week they are fine in sun. They will start to look bad earlier than if they are in shade but I have not found any that did not grow good and fast in sun.
