Too Funny!

I have a critter, probably skunk or racoon, that is digging up my hostas looking for goodies. So far, I have found the hostas before any of them have died, but it's getting bad. Can anyone help me?

This is what I have so far. They aren't very good pictures as I took them at night with artifical lighting.

I've been doing my 'first attempts' at hybridizing this summer too. I bought Breeder's Choice and ended up getting Breeder's Edge due to mislabeling at the seller's end. I've bred BE to itself and Warwick's Essence and BE appears to be sterile. Self breeding WE is producing pods (and some others are...
