See ya there. Looking forward to garden tours, since I am out of real estate gotta be careful...

Have fun. I'm not going. I'm having that typing issue on my phone, but not tablet. Geese.

I am going.

I look forward to meeting you. Are either of you riding the tour garden rden bus ? Agghhh. I will be so happy to get my computer fixed.

Yes I will be. Arriving Wednesday. Have to skip out on Thursday to go to Thomas the Train with my adorable grandkids, it is also in Green Bay, but will be back later in the day. If I yell out MadPlanter, hopefully you will hear me. Lololol

I skipped Wednesday, couldn't get a room at the Radisson. I'll get there Thursday around 11, catch Don Dean's ,lecture, shop a bit and go to a hotel. I managed to get a room on site Friday and Saturday.

MadPlanter might get you half the convention attendees! Maybe we can find each other and go on the same bus.

It looks like there will only be one convention plant. The alternate didn't TC.

Which one didn’t TC? I wanted Golden Harmony. I forgot the convention was the second week and made plans to go to Thomas the Train with the grandkids. But I am upset about missing Don Dean, and Kathy Baum. Love Don’s hostas, I have several.

LOL, will try to find you on Friday!

Golden Harmony is the plant that they're giving out. No idea what the other one was.

You can see the convention booklet ,online, nice garden descriptions.

Will have to search for that. Thanks.

My friend and I ill be arriving on Thur morning, hoping to catch lunchtime lecture and will be doing bus both days. Looking forward to meeting people.

I'm getting antsy, hoping to find replacements for Crocodile Socks and Android, also a Gabriel's . I plan to wear a lavender Hostas in Ahhhs Midwest convention T-shirt and a green Shady Choice Garden Club on the tour bus , weather permitting. Look for a short gray haired woman with a big camera.

Madplanter, I passed on Crocodile socks, although I love Alligator shoes. What do you recommend about it? Android has some funny pic in the library.

Look for Karen and Ellen, likely to wear hostaffinity shirts.

lindalana, I got Crocodile Socks from Art Jacobson. He had a little place in the country, and got hostas you couldn't find most places. Nice guy, used to sell on the Hosta auction. He died a couple years ago. CS is one he talked me into, a tet version of Alligator Shoes. Only want it for sentimental reasons.

Android was a favorite part of my Star Trek bed, thought it was really pretty. Alas, nobody has it for sale.

It looks like we'll have good weather for the garden tour.

So much for nice weather, although better a light rain than a downpour. Sorry I haven't found any of you yet.

I was on bus 130 today. It had been acting up but they sent it out anyway. It broke down a mile from the hotel, and we waited around an hour for a new one. Our driver says they're using it tomorrow, you might want to avoid it.

Grrr, that is nasty. We got hit by rain for 2 out of 4 gardens but everything else was smooth

Look for a short gray haired woman with a big camera.

==>> did this description narrow it down beyond just about every woman on every bus???

will be awaiting pix posts ...

how about a couple of vending ... and of course.. the leaf show ...

short of hail.. i doubt rain wouldnt stop me .... if God wants to take me out with lightening... in a glorious hosta garden .. so be it ... cant think of a better way to go ...

ken

Today was glorious. I took some pics with camera so will have to upload at home.

Seedlings

Those are

First one is mine, 2 blue and 2 red ribbons. Some cool

Winner.

All my pics are in the camera, and we aren't going straight home. I'll have mine in a week or two. Great tour gardens both days, hope the photos do them justice.

After seeing them in the garden, I "had" to have Pinani Island Surf, Prairie Moon and Foglight. I'd already bought everything I really wanted (no Android or Crocodile Socks to be found) , but the bright golds were really eye catchers.

Currently skipping the banquet, needed some time off my feet.

lindalana, tell me more! is it yours? what's its name? and are you having fun?

Banquet was fun as well as whole trip. Super nice people, amazing gardens. I was thrilled to win blue ribbon for 2 of my 4 entries,mind you, first timer here but there were lots of blue ribbons . Best of show was not mine, winner was leaf One's Man treasure.
