This is a seedling from a friend.

A very nice cross of Party Favor * Jade Cascade.

I really like this one.

Todays shot of Quarter Note - look how fast the scape is going up.

Foxfire Irish Moon starting to get its milky color.

Invinsible to the right, Hoosier Dome in back and Wooly Mammoth to the right if I am not mistaken.

H. 'Golden Goal' is a new intro that just came out that was originally a Doug Belstein seedling. Doug sold a number of his seedlings in auction a few years back and a fellow by the name of Mark Zilis won the right to pick 20 of them. This is one of the 20 all grown up. The interesting thing about t...

I will put a couple picks of mine tomorrow. You will not disappointed. It is a great looking plant.

Very very nice photo.

Which Miscanthus is it?

Interesting and about what everyone probably suspected to begin with. With my seedlings during the winter I always keep the bottom 1/4 inch of the pots in water and they do very well that way. I lost hardly any seedlings this winter to damp off or anything else. I think a lot of the major growers gr...

Okay, has anyone else noticed how large the vestigial leaves are this year?
I have talked to others that claim it is due to more moisture.

Any thoughts?

Attached is a picture of Stained Glass with a larger then normal vestigial leaf.

One week later the leaf is still developing a very very interesting shape, sheen and color.

Another update shot showing how the My Darling seedling is coming along.

Updated picture of the same Patriot which is just going into bloom.

I think they are just putting the finishing touches on it now and it should be ready in September with any luck.
I think most people in the hosta world cannot wait for him to finish.
Rumor has it he was still measuring a few plants last week in North Central Wisconsin and is in the wind down stage.

I don't remember them all but it seems there are tons of sports from Striptease.

I agree - I like them like that but I also like for the hosta to show it form all the way around.
Goodluck with the move.

Now this Little Wonder sport is very interesting with red petioles and scapes.
Might be fun to cross this one with Cherry Berry.

H. Quarter Note

Yeah Allnitro, its not my best photo but you get the idea.

If you are curious, the pollen on the end is Boudacious Blue.
I happened to have the pollen handy when I saw that Feather Boa was in flower and said "Why not?".
An odd combo but you never know.

This is a non-streaked plant and I will keep an eye on the back part of the plant and post an update in a couple of weeks.

It should be fertile since Serendipity is fertile and this is a sport of it.

A nice flower on this Feather Boa you must agree.
