Hallson Gardens

Thank you all for the work trying to ID this one. I bought Devil's Advocate bc I liked it
And to compare. Definitely not a match.
Velvet Shadows is closest, but wrong year.

So for now I give up. It's UNK:Eula1.
I think it's beautiful.

Well, it is not Reflected Glory, because the edge of mine is perfectly straight. Not Academy Kakistocracy (2005) because that plant is only 10-18 inches tall. My friend would have never bought one with that name anyway. lol Yes, Velvet Shadows (good match, but 2011 registration) is a good match. The...

David, thank you very much for the insight. How clever, I never thought to use the Leaf classification spreadsheet to help me out. I'll check out the possibilities you've narrowed down. I will post another picture when it blooms. I'll be very careful about labeling it as "definitely" something becau...

I've had this hosta for about 10 years, so it is at least 15-20 years old. A friend of mine collected named hostas and had labels. Alas she was in first stages of Alzheimer's and labels began to disappear. I love this hosta and it's reminder. Does anyone have any guesses? The pattern is so faint, it...

Words cannot describe those gorgeous gardens. Very beautiful hostas and great vistas. They just go on and on. I like the terraced areas to show off certain plants. Your gardens were/are a ton of work. The shade cloth structure is smart. Shade without tree roots. Thanks for sharing. I'll be looking a...

Thy,
Just hop on a plane and come over to the meeting.

Hi all, It never seemed to work out that I could come to the summer get togethers at Hallson's. But Chris will be the speaker at one of the Hosta Societies I just joined. I am very excited about a chance to meet Chris and first attendance at my new club. It should be a fun and informative event. Tha...

Very very nice. I hope the voles leave it alone.
I got Sumsational this year.

I ordered some caster oil, going to give it a try.

Excellent detective work, Lucy. Thanks. That will be my next step.

Guess I'm guilty of wanting instant gratification and thought this would get me quickest answer.
snail mail it is.

Maybe he's traveling the world.

Hope he is OK. He has disappeared from garden forums. I miss his secret swap & enthusiasm.

The newest revision of my lily cage protected all lily bulbs from whatever critter. I'm more suspecting chipmunks because this year we are overrun with them in this garden. We are thinning the herd. Some humanely and some from a neighbor's new cat. The lilies have been blooming for a couple weeks. I...

Oh, Tigger, thank you very much for the warning. I do have one protected area by the house, but it certainly is not sandy.
Heavy clay, I keep amending.
Darn. Well it is a beautiful shrub for those who don't get -20F.

Happy New Year

Very pretty shrub. Love the shiny leaves.
Thanks, I am going to look for this one.
So much shade.

We sure did need players. Maybe I'll remember earlier next year.
It's free, fun and easy.
