Greenguy, I looked at Fickle Blue Genes on the library...it's very beautiful. Can you tell me how to contact Josh so I can ask if he has any left?

New to hostas and not familiar with everyone yet.

Thanks! :D

Thanks, Pam. Yes, I saw that and it sounds like a good one. Can you tell how wide the foliage will be on your Ice Prancer? I just wonder if it will be narrow or wedge shaped...hard to tell in the photo. I really want to get it...like the name. too. :D

Ice Prancer Opinion?

Does anyone have an opinion on the Reptilian sport, Ice Prancer? It's not in the library for some reason. I think it looks really nice but can't find out much about it. Seems that I read Reptilian is a good one so maybe Ice Prancer is as well. I'm wanting a medium to large blue that has narrow leave...

Carol, your IAT is gorgeous. Looks like you have one with good blue coloring. Chris says he doesn't have any left for this season. Yes, I would like to know if anyone else has them available...thanks.

Thanks, Don....great idea. Yes, I do have the handbook...checked out from the library. Carol, Ice Age Trail has been on my wish list....I think Chris said he was out of them but will ask again to make sure. I would definitely want the one with good blue coloring. Wouldn't be able to pick one out in ...

Hi Josh. Yes, it is Guardian Angel...looked it up on the library. Those you mentioned are very pretty! I would love to have Dorset Clown. Jim's hosta has it but it's an amazing $300. I was thinking of trying to find a cheaper blue streak if I can find one on his catalog. He has a lot of hostas! I ju...

Blue Streakers?

New hostaholic here. :D Am wondering if there are many blue hostas that are streaked? Would love to see some photos. I saw Blue Shadows and think it's gorgeous.

My favorite rose is either Blush Noisette or the rugosa, Laurette. Both very easy to grow and oh so fragrant. Laurette is unusual for a rugosa in that its cranberry colored canes are nearly thornless. The pastel pink color reminds me of strawberry ice cream. Here is the Ashdown link. And the photo b...

I'm in Denton, Tx and as an experiment, started out with just a few hostas last year. They all did just fine....Orange Marmalade was the last to emerge. My blues are still blue....didn't turn green that I noticed. I now have 50+ ...and still wanting more! These were the first ones: Halcyon Silver Ba...
