I agree with Josh. It looks like it could be Blue Angel.

I love my Fireworks. It is very curly in the spring but more mannerly by mid summer.

Can you post a picture of the whole plant? I would love to see it! Has it settled into a pattern yet?

I believe there is a H. Quiet Water Disturbed, though I don't know if it has been registered.

Dixie Chick has been a good grower for me. I have had it in a pot, and divided it once. It goes out in the garden next spring. I don't know how it will do with slugs.

Maybe Debbie's will come up with more white next spring like yours did, Hank. It is a cute little thing with the narrow white stipe. I wouldn't think it was a sport if started out with all the white early in the season and then changed, but you never know!

Opps! I'm afraid my love for minis must be showing by now! :oops: I don't have a good picture from this year, but here is my Pandoras Box in the garden. PB starts out white and stays white all the way to the end, with no burn out! Nice! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Dorothyb/th_PandorasBox6...

I have Limey Lisa in a couple of spots in the garden. Mine is definately in the 'dwarf' category though I don't know if it would qualify for todays mini qualification, or if it is on the list. I think it is small enough. It's a good grower, and nice when it comes up in the spring. http://img.photobu...

The margins on those cameo leaves did stay wide till the frost got them. I'll have to wait till spring to see if that was a sport or not.

My thought during the summer was that it was the second flush of leaves that had such wide margins and that maybe the margins thinned out after a while. But I believe they are still just as wide....I'll check tomorrow if we don't get hit with a heavy frost tonight. When I looked at my photo, it stru...

I have Pandora's Box, Cameo, and Cherish planted in the garden and they are all doing fine. Hope is in a planter and has not done well. Here is Cameo in August. Think there is a sport on there? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Dorothyb/CameoAug9018.jpg Cherish in May http://img.photobucket.com...

I bought Key Lime Pie in 2006, mail order. I have been really pleased with the way it has grown (no extra water except the first year). This picture was taken in June but it still looks good. That is Moon Waves in front of it. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Dorothyb/th_KeyLimePieandMoonWaves...

Janice, I have no idea what size or how strong our filter is. I do know its the smallest we could get. It actually is a little too powerful. Right now I have the hose shoved down so it is emptying back into the pond under water. We tried it with a frog spitter, but that frog spit so far we were losi...

Goldfish will eat mosquito larvae, and having a filter that moves the water helps too (I don't think mosquitos lay eggs in moving water). My pond is 16" deep in the center. The fish start hanging out in the bottom when the weather gets cold, and I stop feeding them then. We get down to at least 0 ea...

Janice, I had the same problem with roots. I had already bought the pond ( small, preformed, with a center area that is deeper) What I did is dug as far as I could (only the center part is in the ground) and then built up garden around the sides. You will notice a small part with a brick step..I don...

I got a cute little op seedling from Blue Mouse Ears last winter. Nothing special, but cute. I put it in the garden first thing this spring. It was fine all summer. I can't wait to see how it develops.
