White Wall Tire..(renaldo, look away)

Post by Linda P »

Jane G asked if I had any bad looking hostas. I do, and decided I'd take a pic of one to show you. Then I'll get back to the nice looking ones!

Here's White Wall Tire..the poor thing got hit by frost! It's recovering now, but it was so sad looking when I took this.

LOL I don't want to look too closely at mine this year either. We had one really hot day & all the 1st leaves just fried & turned brown. The hazards of no chloroyphyl... :eek:

I think it's a very attractive plant when it's looking good.

Hey, LG...last year it was really nice! I like it...
It comes up just all white, and the combination of a late frost, and then a hot day just did the poor baby in this year.
