Here is Ella. My Strk'd sport of Blue Mammoth. It's stunning in the early spring but the color fades to almost all gold, here it's already on it's way.

Bought this last year. Labled as OS American Masterpiece.... I've bought same from Van and it has never looked this good.

Simply Sharon.... this was sold as Bigga Luiggi Strk'd which is the all green form of SS. Looks like it's reverted back to SS....prob why they pulled them from sale.

@las#ihep™sj jga sp¶ju...oops, all the drool on the keyboard is making my fingers slip around (hehe)!

That streaked Love Pat is fabulous! All the rest are gorgeous...but that Love Pat really is something. Maybe if I moved one of my plain Love Pats over next to the big streaked Blue Angel the streaks might leak over? (hehe).

They are really doing well this year! So glad you are finally having a decent year...you were seriously overdue!

Awesome looking plants! It looks like everyone of them is really ahppy and thriving. Oh and where is the line to stand in for a piece of that streaked Love Pat - Wanda is correct, it had my mouth watering!

Thanks for all the great comments...

Josh.... um... no idea. currently it's labled ... unknown blue... after I lost 1/2 my hosta... and i didn't have them labled... i just knew who was next to who..... when all of the next to's were gone...... i lost all track... my blues took the hardest hit in the naming dept. I have about a dozen unknowns at the moment.

Looking good, Mike. It's nice to see them all growing well for you. I'm drooling over your streaked Love Pat, too!
