Spilt Milk

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a pic of my Spilt Milk I got from Chris two years ago. It's really looking good this year so far. Love it. The subtle misting and coloration in the leaves is not really represented in the pic.

Looks great, Paul!!

I have one coming from Hallson's this week I believe. My old one didn't survive after a couple of years of root strangulation from the crab apple. I'm sure my new one will look as good as yours before too long.

What a wonderful hosta. I looks like its name, and is so different from the rest. My first one died and I decided that I had to have another, mostly because it is so unique.

Paul,
Now that's what Spilt Milk should look like ...!

Paul....now THAT'S a Spilt Milk!! My poor thing let all the milk spill right off the leaves and now it looks just plain green.....at least so far anyway.

Be carefull not to cry over THAT plant , Joan. I don't know what the consequences are, but you know what they say about crying over Spilt Milk.

Spilt Milk hates me

and at this point, I could cry over it!

I have tried to grow it, for years, every spring that it doesn't come back, I'll buy a new one, place it in a different location in my gardens, and I still haven't found a "happy spot" for it!

What looked promising last fall, was GONE this spring

Nice specimen above. Mine has not yet completely unfurled, but there are FOUR large shoots coming up whereas last year there was just one.

That's great, Ann. I bet you're excited. I would be.

At Spider...

Joan, maybe your Spilt Milk was lactose intolerant?

Sorry to hear about yours, MySkyBlue2. It is very disappointing. But you know what Spider says...

Spider is wise! I should use good common sence and just give up on owning Spilt Milk

.......But then I see beautiful examples like yours Paul, and I'm smitten all over again

Beautiful plants Paul and Jim.

I hope mine will grow up like yours when I decide on a permanent spot for it. It's still in the holding bed. It's only one eye this year but it's pretty.

Looking good, Jim!
