Thanks you, guys. I guess I should say a little something 'bout how I got here. I'm crazy for daylilies and bought several million this year, or so it seems. I have a small yard, and it's very shady. When someone suggested I grow something that likes shade, well, that sure seemed sensible. So, on yet another daylily buying trip, I picked up....oh I don't know, something like 6 or 7 hostas (can't recall all of them--Kryptonite, that cute little Mouse Ears one, a gold one. Hoo boy do I sound ignorant or what!) Then I went back for more (Sagae, Lakeside something--very dark leaves. Way cool!) Then I found a hosta forum on another site. And then found another place that grows hostas (Fragrant Bouquet). Then I read very positive recommendations 'bout Hallson's. Found the forum. Lurked. Lurked some more. Et voila!

I don't have too many hostas yet. But that will change :lol:

And calliloo is a neighbor. I can assure you she has wonderful hostas. Hel-l-o-o-o-o- Alexa! It's me :D

If I sound a bit punch drunk, well, it's been a long week. And I have to get up early tomorrow--there's a daylily auction that needs attending!

It did cross my mind, since you are from Eastern Pa, that you might...by some chance...know Alexa! Thanks for answering my question before I even asked it! :lol: And I'd guess it won't be long before your shady yard will be filled with hostas. That's how it all started for many of us. :) Not complaining though! :D
