Your babies are looking great Alexa. Say did you happen to get your Korean Snow seeds from Chris? I got some from him and have the same red in the petioles, creeping into the leaf. Also found the same type of thing in my Lilypad seedlings—seeds courtesy of Chris and the Hallson seed exchange. :P

Thanks for looking everyone!

No, the Korean Snow seeds were from the ones I collected summer 2005 at a local nursery. I found some more of them during a garage clean out and was surprised to find them still viable.

They were OP, and the nursery owner has a huge hosta garden so they could have almost any parentage imaginable.

Thanks again!

Very interesting seedlings.

Exciting, isn't it Alexa. It's like waiting for Santa Claus when we were little.
