At First Look this weekend

Post by redcrx »

I came up to First Look near Hartford. Came up a day early because of the weather - I hate driving I95 in the rain or anywhere else for that matter.

I'm putting one of my sports in the competition.

I'll get pictures.

Good luck, Ed. Unfortunately FL got scheduled the same weekend we had chosen for our Delaware Valley Hosta Society meeting :(

I see the gift plant is a 'Radiant Edger' sport called 'Pamela Lee': http://www.hostalibrary.org/firstlook/M ... tPlant.htm. I'll keep my 'Radiant Star'!

I have both and both are small. Just checked my map - my Pamela Lee is in area I needs root cleared out - it may not be there this season.

The gift plant was supposed to be 'Pamela Lee' but the wrong plant was propagated. We all now have another 'Radiant Edger'.

Sorry, haven't processed any photos yet.

My plant was in a 3-way tie for first place in the category - Small Streaked or Other Sports.
I have shown this one before or the other pieces I have. It's a sport of Hanky Panky where the center holds its color all season. (I think the center looks like the center on Silver Eagle.) The edge starts yellow and then changes all season like Hanky Panky.

I'm still debating the name.

It's now called 'Lottie' to stay with the "family" theme.
