The browsers would open the Hosta Library main page, but I couldn't do multiple First Look screens.

Just tried again, and now I'm in my office so this is a different computer from Saturday night, and I still can't open multiple First Look screens.

I wasn't able to open multiple windows in the Auction this year. Couldn't monitor new posts and my bid screen simultaneously. Never had the problem before. It was a much bigger problem to those who were bidding on more than one item up to the last minute.

NINE hostas went for $300 or more. High was $700!

The last recorded bid on the last three items was each 1 to 10 seconds too late. Great last minute bidding!

Charla, that was my thought too, but Bill explained that there were effective chemicals to eradicate them. The EPA has outlawed them all. The chemical companies can't justify the investment and have the EPA do it again.

Boy, Bob, you sure went back a long time for that one. Five years!

Don, I'm sure they still need donations for these last six days. Jeff's instructions are correct.

Very nice, Hank. Looks a lot like Lakeside Symphony, but smaller(?).

George

Hank, you may be right. I know I've seen it over the past 2 or 3 years in a Convention tour garden. I remember more rugosity (dimples), but not whether it was bluish or green.

I shovel-pruned my 'Snow Cap.' It was taking up valuable space.

George

I'd grow that one in a pot. Easier to hybridize and remove unwanted solid eyes.
