Hallson Gardens

They sure looked good when I saw them last weekend.
I'm looking forward to getting mine next spring too.

Good Luck with Wings of a Prayer!! It definitely needs to be 'out there'.

I'll have to take a look at the new acquisitions when I get back to Ankeny after this weekend, but I will say that Ripple Effect is definitely one that I like a lot.
I'm sure I'll come up with a couple more I like pretty well too.

No pressure, Mike - none at all.

It's amazing what I can come up with after a couple of scotches...

I'm expecting great things from you, Mike!!

That's really a neat little seedling!! Good luck with it.
Looks like it grows better than Spilt Milk too.
That'd be a big plus for me since I haven't had any luck growing it yet.
Maybe 3rd time will be different since I just got one in a swap.

I noticed last week that my very young one [4-5 leaves] had done the same thing. Margins mostly all burned away. It's been in a spot that gets no direct sunlight - just dappled shade. And it's still in the pot it came in. I saw a real nice one somewhere over the weekend. I'm thinking it was in Walte...

Thanks for all of the wonderful pics, Mike!!

I ended up with the last 3 divisions of Gunther's Prize that Eric Kinman sold at the MW convention in Schaumburg in 2008. He'd sold a LOT of divisions of GP before I ever decided to spend the $40 for it. So I'm pretty sure there's nothing left of Gunther's original plant unless someone got part of i...

I finally got there!! :D I had such a great time Saturday. Made all of the driving worth it. Getting to meet & talk with so many of you for the first time was great!! I wandered the sales area and the hosta growing area many times. The food was all delicious. I especially liked the baked spaghetti ...

Yea. She did absolutely nothing to deserve it.

I'm glad you and Sue found the place and had a great time, Jo!!

The streaked seedling from it is pretty nice too.

Thank you, Judi!! I'm so glad you and some of the others from the Harshbarger group could be here.
I'll make sure you spread the word to some of the more reclusive types next time around.

Are you SURE you know what it means, Pat???

Well gee thanks, Marlys - for giving away ALLLLLLL of the answers. It won't be any fun at all if they get to look up all the answers first. :roll: And you say you're my friend....... :o :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Still laughing and wiping the tears away. ...

I'm glad you had fun, Connie!! I sure did. I didn't post the recipe but I have more copies of it. Or I can email it to you.

:oops: I knew I had Jill's name wrong as soon as I typed it, but that was all I could think of at the time... :???: Editing in a minute... Sorry I missed your question about the water thingy, Pia. Yes - in theory it runs from the solar panel alone. Provided it has enough solar power. I still haven't...

Cool - didn't realize that you had all of the original.

That is gorgeous, Mike!! How old is your plant?

Thanks for sharing the pics, Collette!! It was indeed a fun day.
So good to have everyone here, but there were a bunch who weren't able to make it.
I'm already thinking I may try to do something again this fall. We shall see....

I believe what's going on there is what Bill Meyers calls a 'chimeral rearrangement'.
You never know what it's going to end up being, but they're fun to watch.
