Re: hosta

John,

Shucks, sounds super to me :-)

What about adding some ferns for height as well as a change in foliage
texture?  Just a thought, although I don't know how much 'height' you want.
 Ferns come in all sorts of sizes and shapes and like the same kind of
conditions as hosta.  Just my unsolicited 2 cents worth :-)

You're welcome!  Good luck breeding your 'one in a million' hosta!  I never
thought of that.  Hmmm....guess I'll have to look at my babies a little
closer, now.
