Hi folks,
Just had to tell all of you about my group of hosta seedlings now know as the 
X Files. Where they came from, I have not the foggiest. The label has just 
disappeared. When the little fellows began to leaf out a few weeks ago, they 
really caught my attention. About one-fourth of the plants are a lovely soft 
creamy yellow. Upon first seeing them I said to myself they will never make 
it. Since the substance seemed more than adequate, I gave a few of them a 
fighting chance. They continue to grow and look stronger each day. The other 
three-fourths are very dark in color. They came up with crinkles, ruffles and 
dimples. A few of these were streaked. Several of the leaves look as if they 
have been waxed. I just had to pot a few of these strange looking seedlings. 
To myself, I said I will just do 9 to see what they grow up to be. A few days 
later I felt compelled to transplant another 9. Today I finished potting 72. 
It seems I just can't leave them alone. Today I discovered they are 
developing bright red petioles. One of the brightest yellows makes a real 
contrast against this lovely red. 
If all of this work is in vain, I have still gotten its worth just watching 
them for the past weeks. Sure wish My computer would do an aging enhancement 
to show them to me five years from now. We do it with people. Where is the 
wizard that can do it for plants?
Another thought for consideration how small is too small? A new seedling from 
Lakeside Baby Face now has 7 leaves yet the plant is only about the size of a 
nickel.
