    That must have been one hell of an adrenaline rush buying those! Woohoo!

    Enjoy planting them...care to list them? Or will you be thinking of introducing each one? You picked out big'uns, sir! Quite the haul!

    The price per square metre will be hard to match!

    Awesome buys.

    I think I recognize some of those, but would love to know the names of what you got!

    Amazing sized plants. They rival some of my 5,6 and 7 year old plants.

    Come on then. name them and tell us where you got them.

    Wheee!, Montana Aureo-marginata, L.S. Babyface, L.S. WHIZZIT, Golden Needles, L.S. Downsized, 2 Paradise Glory, Atlantis, Just So, Squash Casserole, Whirlwind, 4 June, Pixie Power, Little Wonder, Little Treasure, L.S. Keepsake, 2 Abiqua Moonbeam, Parhelion, Titanic, and Sum of All. Most are for my Mom, my insurance man's office greenbelt, and a few are new-to-us to be added here. From K Gardens near Grand Rapids Michigan. We do this at least twice a year, so get a discount. Their gardens are STUNNING! They're Zone 5, great soil, and the loving attention of Tim and Wilma, the owners. Besides, Don Rawson lives nearby to keep an eye on it ;-)

    Thanks for naming them. I was wondering which hosta they were too. What a lovely mature bunch!

    Thank you, Hostahillbilly for indulging us with the names.

    Wow, what a haul!

    K gardens, I've never heard of them and less than 30 minutes from my house. I feel a little trip coming on. Talk about enabling!

    Wow they are big. Here in Finland you find only tiny ones with 1-2 pips. Lucky you.

    I went again yesterday to fill some blanks. I've never paid attention to their location before, as I've been going there for years. For all'y'all, this time I did. It's on 72nd, west of Byron Center road, an exit off route M6. BTW, they have fantastic show gardens as well. It's not Wade & Gatton in quantity, but is in quality. An hour and a half north would bring you to ours. HTH

    Oh, you are killing me! I will be away for three weeks beginning on July 1, so I dare not add anything to the garden this year. The last time I showed my DH what to be sure to water while I was gone turned out to be an exercise in futility. The things I showed him were the only things that were pretty much left to fry. Sigh. I will live vicariously through you until fall when I buy up all the uglies and look foward to next spring. Oh, I do need a new Whee. Mine seems to have disappeared and I do like that one so much!
