Linda P - you have a really nice Satisfaction. Nobody can say we "can't get no Satisfaction"!

Any more Satisfaction photos out there?

Satisfaction and Piedmont Special are said to be identical. Mine are growing side by side, check them out.

OMG! :P You are right! They (Satisfaction & Piedmont) DO look identical! This is one I just noticed two years ago when I moved it to a new location. Wow - it got pretty amazing! But it was hidden before far back in my beds and I hadn't noticed all the changes that had been going on in the rippling of the margins since I got it in 2006.

Here is mine from last June...

What a beautiful Hosta. OC lost ALL 0f his in the heat wave of trhe last two summers. Hosta do not last long in 100^ heat and no water. Hope to get my deck pots and tubs filled this spring ansd have them ready to plant this fall.

Missed planting any this last two years, but wheelchair and all, this fall will be different.......... OC

Wow! Good t o see you posting again, OC.! I am looking forward to being on more too. But we are supposed to get snow on Sunday. Go figure! And it looks like I will have to add Satisfaction to my "want' list. This winter has been hard on my knees, but hopefully, the warmer weather will help. :D
Lovin' the great northwest!
