Re: [SG] Lilacs

Bobbi,

I noticed you're in Z 5/6.  I'm in Z6 (mid-Missouri) and most of my
Hostas are substantially bloomed, except the large round leaf
varieties which are up, but not as far along.  They look great too.  I
love Hostas.  I know they're common, but I don't care.

Kris and all,

I have the two old-fashioned lilacs, the white and the lilac colored
one.
I also own 'Palibin', which is smaller and blooms much later. As I
write,
it (in part shade) is covered with buds. I think it will not bloom
until
late in May at the earliest. It is a cute little thing, but not as
fragrant or as wonderful as the old-fashioned kind IMHO.

Where are you, by the way? Where was the hosta garden you saw? You
must be
somewhere in the south, that they were up enough to view. I am
celebrating
tonight because my 'Whirlwind' is finally poking out of the soil! That
leaves just a couple to worry about.Otherwise they are all accounted
for.
