Merry Christmas everybody!

Hope everybody has a safe day filled with friends, family and good food and don't forget to think about all you have to be thankful for! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Charla, I set up shelves like yours this year based on pics you and others have posted in the past. So far it is going well but I have some questions for you. What size trays are you using? I also noticed you are using 2 two bulb fixtures per shelf. What type of bulbs are you using? Thanks for the h...

Hey Marlys if you have any left I would like a packet. BOG is a favorite of mine. I tried some seeds I bought late last year and they were all greenies. I would love to try it again!

I believe it is referring to the Pee Dee River area of South Carolina.

Jan, You aren't kidding I had to work to find things you didn't have. That's one reason I was so late as I couldn't decide what to send. I am so glad you liked them. And again I do apologize for the package being so late. Did the scape on Dust devil survive? I was really surprised to see it set seed...

I finally got it in the mail today. I have to apologize to my secret trader for it being so late. I hope you will be happy with the contents! It is going.......North of me which is where it seems most of the other hosta addicts in this world are located!

Today was one of those days when I just wanted to get home and chill. The traffic was a mess and it was pouring and thundering and lightening something terrible. When I pulled in the driveway I saw a package on the porch and figured it was the hosta I ordered recently, and it was. But there was also...

I haven't done a swap in a while but have sure gotten some great plants in past swaps. Count me in. Look forward to the fun!

Can you tell I am thoroughly confused?.....lol..... Thanks...

In the post on identifying the plants in Chris's growing area the last one was Lakeside Beach Captain and Chris explained the relationship to Perry's True Blue this way: Lakeside Beach Captain is a wide margined sport of Lakeside Shore Master. The margins appear to get wider (center appears to get t...

I'm game. I love trying to guess the names. Post away Chris...

lol.....It didn't help me too much. I was focusing on Pauls Glory then looked at LBC but the center gold on this one is much narrower than the pics of LBC. Anyway can you give more detail on that hint?

How about Silver Bay for the blue one and I have no idea about the other one.....Hot Green Chiles?....Time for a clue?

Ok this is it for me for tonight.....Eternal Flame for the Loyalist look alike and Riptide for the blue to the right of center....

How about Frost Bite or Harpoon beside the TBolt look alike and Flash of Light for the Loyalist look alike?

I got one!....Hotdarn! That doesn't leave too many on the heat wave selection so lets try tokudama aureonebulosa?

How about Winfield Blue, Blue Hawaii, Brother Stephan, Christmas Candy, Spring Fling, Blue Baron? Oh and June Fever just so I get one right!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year surrounded by their loved ones! Oh and Happy hostadays too!
