Hallson Gardens

I got some from last year, some trades, some shared purchase, and a few I bought. Too big a pile. I got the same with Lilies, Daylilies, some perrenials. Gonna be alot in the garage this year again. The ground is so dry and hard right now, it took so long to plant some lilies yesterday! The weeds ke...

I posted a bunch of photos from last Sunday on the Hostas Cubit site. Any visitors can view photos there, but you have to JOIN Cubits.org and the Hostas Cubit to comment on individual photos or add any.

That should be enough for now!

How about Scalloped Corn, or Corn Soufle?

I plan to come. I believe there will be others from HHS coming as well.

Big Daddy gets really dark for a blue as well.

No problem - I will baby them in pots (along with the stash that I haven't planted from last year :roll: ). Glad to get the ones you sent. I would have understood bad leaves, too, with a reminder about your bad weather luck. I didn't get the freeze or hail and mine are all so nice this year - if onl...

Thank you Jo (don't know your login id and couldn't find you in the trade list. You did your homework. I have a pretty big list and I got 5 NEW hostas: Bitsy Gold - for the mini bed Richmond (I love the Mildred Seaver hostas) Gilt By Association (love those ripples) Otome No Ka - another for the min...

Mine went out today headed east. A few new ones for somebody with a long list!

I agree with you Chris - I am watching for new leaves and won't do anything with it anyway, but share with friends if it proves to be "just another big blue". If it apprears identical, will likely give it to friends who don't care about names anyway.

I have an all Blue sport of Super Nova. There wasn't anything at MyHostas for it, but there is Elegans in the "family tree". I am thinking it needs a name like Blue Nebula maybe. No pics unfortunately. I got too rough and broke off the growth - didn't think about a pic before tossing the evidence. G...

I have a sizable list so usually get paired with someone else who has alot of hostas. I can always find some hosta to send the person that they don't have. Love the trades. Thanks for doing it for us.
Gotta go find my list and update by Mon.

I told all the hosta people I know about it. I am sure there will be some of us from E. Iowa there!

So far, here's who I know are coming -- Judi P and I will be bringing Chelilyn and Becki (dax80) from our HHS and Dave's Garden associations. I believe Kit and Gary plan to come, as well as Allnitro and Marie. Another friend, Mindy is hoping to bring a friend (from the Monticello area). Others might...

Blue Cadet and Carder Blue have been good growers for me and are smaller than Halcyon. I am guessing it is Blue Cadet.

Glad I could find some that you didn't have on your "have" list, and that Green Pie Crust and So Sweet were on the wish list, too.
You will enjoy the others that weren't on the wish list also. They pass the 20 ft. rule and are great growers.

I sent my package during the lunch hour.
Forgot to include a note inside, but my Hallson's name is on the outside of the package. Keep your eye out for it!

Wait til you see the pics. HUGE.

I am the first one to do the hosta dance - yea! :snow: I got a personal delivery tonight of freshly dug HUGE hostas from chellilyn. She tried hard to leave them without getting caught, but the dogs heard her and we went outside to see who was here. :snow: chellilyn brought by "starts" of plants that...

Can't resist another trade. I'm ready.
