...grow as huge and as quickly as my rhubarb?  We call this group of rhubarb (there are 3 ginormous ones and 5 total) Audrey II, after the man eating plant in Little Shop of Horrors.   Check out Petiole Junction, my garden blog! (I'd love your comments.) |

I hear you!!! I am getting an Empress Wu.... then the Rhubarb will have some competition!!  "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously." 2 Corinthians 9:6 |

I want to pick up 'Gentle Giant' soon. I hope that one can give the rhubarb a run for its money eventually, too. Or maybe I should get 'Empress Wu' just to scare the rhubarb. Or maybe I should learn to breed hostas and breed my own enormous plant. I could name it H. 'Ooga Booga!'  Check out Petiole Junction, my garden blog! (I'd love your comments.) |

| I have T Rex. This will be it's fourh season I think. It will be a few years before it gets as big as the one pictured although it seems to finally be going through a growth spurt maybe medium large now finally. Gary  |

| I have room for one dinasour in full shade and can't decide over Empress Wu, TRex, or a big fern |

My 'Empress Wu' seems to be growing at a decent rate. It is also an upright so you don't lose all the space underneath it and can plant more stuff  Elizabeth |

| Elizabeth, interesting thought...more shade plants, more plant shopping, hmmmmmmm I like it! |

| I fully expect Elizabeth to start building vertical gardens so she has more room for hostas. |

| Don't you laugh Diann, I've been looking at green roofs! Check out the California Academy of Sciences: http://www.inhabitat.com/2008/... THAT is cool! It would be full sun and probably too shallow for hostas. Engineering runs in my bloodlines, don't count me out!  Elizabeth |

That would really freak your neighbor out, wouldn't it?  LOL |
