Has anyone looked at the new Fine Gardening yet? If you haven't you need to. Turn to page 34 & let me know if you see "June" anywhere at all on that page! :-? :???: :-? The hosta I see looks more like "Dream Weaver" or "Thunderbolt". :D :wink:

Hey Minnow, when I see an error I tell the mag. folks and ya know they really don't care as they leave it up to those that submit the article to make sure these are correct. We whom know, just shake our heads!!

I noticed that, too. I was going to email them, but got busy and never did it. Definitely not June!!!

That's so funny, I think that was the first thing I noticed too when flipping through it. I agree that is Thunderbolt or Dream Weaver

That's the first thing I noticed too...Plus, I have yet to find any reputable garden magazine able to identify all the hosta featured in their garden photos....

I haven't seen the issue you're talking about. But to be fair to Fine Gardening, its Best of Fine Gardening: Design Ideas special issue, which focuses on shade gardening, has an article by Van Wade on the best gold hostas. Hmmm.... now that I think on it, it wasn't a very helpful article. Why? Because when I was done with it, I wanted every hosta he mentioned! :lol: The pictures were scrumptiously delicious. :D
