Witches Brew and Thumbelina
My Witches Brew still has a way to go to look like the picture that made me buy it but I think it's coming along nicely. I really like Thumbelina. It's so cute! Thanks Alexa. As you can see the cutworms like it too. WB and Thumbelina were not touching when I planted Thumbelina there last year so someone must be growing.

Are you sure it's not Thumbelina growing?

Thanks everyone.
Jane. No, I'm not sure.
I'm sure you could find room for Thumbelina, LucyGoose.
Reldon, I was hoping you would post a pic too. What happened to yours?
You picked a good little grower Alexa.
Ginger, I had to look it up. According to Lemke's Database, it's a small, 14" x 8".
Charla, I thought it was hard to find when I bought mine but The 2007 Hosta Finder lists 8 sources for it.

Pat - mine was a no show last year. I dug down to see what was going on & there was no crown. Just very healthy roots attached to nothing. The other hostas around it in that holding bed were fine. Even Morning Light right next to it was still alive last year. [It was a no show this spring.] And when I moved something into the Morning Light spot this spring, I still found a couple of healthy WB roots attached to nothing. Kind of fitting that I put Bizarre in that spot.
Of all the hostas that have died on me in the garden, Witches Brew was the one that upset me the most. I'd finally found a very nice one for a great price in 2004. It looked great in 2005 - no problems of any kind. And in 2006 it wasn't there. And you know how bad I wanted that one after I saw it in St. Louis. Oh well...
Pat - if you could, PM me the places that have it for sale this year. I'm reasonably sure I know 2 of them, but was curious who else did. Thanks.

Awww, Reldon, I'm sorry to hear that. I remember when mine had southern blight or some kind of fungus that I suspect was in the top soil I used when I planted it. I thought I was going to lose it too. PM with sources has been sent.

Thumbelina
With all the talk about Witches Brew, I thought I'd post a picture of my Thumbelina. It's currently holding at bay the evil spruce tree roots where it's called home for three or four years. Measured today 18" x 7".

Your Thumbelina looks great George! I guess I just tucked mine in without giving much consideration as to how big it would get.
