I know that there are some folks out there with
endlessly deep pockets but I have a feeling that it
is a sign of the times considering the economy, as
well as depreciation of a new and/or rare hosta. As
everything slides in to the misfortune of TC it is
speeding the rate of depreciation of the more valuable
hosta. I have a feeling, though, that they may rebound
as some of the quality issues with TC become more
evident.

Just returned from the Midwest Regional Hosta Society convention hosted
by
the Central Illinois Hosta Society in Peoria, IL. My congratulations
and
thanks to Marsha Conner and her team on a very nice job.
Top bid in the auction was for a multi-division large specimen of H.
Tracy's Emerald Cup, going for, as I remember, $320. Same plant went
for
$1,100 last year. My question is: Is that a normal progression,
dropping
2/3 every year?
