Great photos, Karen. I love your Elvis Lives. I bought one last year, but didn't take a picture of it.

Moccasin, I have an Empress but it's only in it's first year. Here she is. A bit too much liquid fence on it.

It grew well for a first year plant. Here's what a big one looks like.

I have several Erromena's in the ground so I am comfortable leaving this one in a pot over the winter and not worrying about it. So far so good.

I can't seem to get my Sea Fire to grow but this sport is really amazing. It's so bright in the spring.

Eye Declare  6-6-11 (10)

Here is Eye Declare in August. I've noticed that although it wants to go green, if it gets some direct sun it gets lighter instead of darker - sort of like On Stage.

Eye Declare 8-2-11 (107)

Eskimo Pie, frustrating but pretty. This is 5 years old. At year three I divided it. The other part is in a pot in sun. The one in the sun grows but the leaves are small. This one seems frozen in time with maybe 3 or 4 large leaves each year.

Great photos, guys. I'm really enjoying them. I find most of my photos are of problems, not the lovely plants, so I don't have many to post. I'll do better this year.

This is my first year contributing to the forum after lurking for awhile. I really enjoy seeing everybodys pictures every year. Here are some of my E's.

Hosta Eskimo Pie. Last year was the second year in my garden and it appears happy so far but only time will tell.

I am jealous of the nice pictures of El Nino as mine has been very slow to grow.

My Wu. Growing like a weed despite Maple root competition. It also seeds freely. There are about 50 or so little OP seedlings circling it. I am going to use it for hybridizing this year.
Put in late 2009.

Empress Wu x OP selfed seedlings. There's a lot of them. I will move them this year to let them grow for a few years to see if any of them are special enough to keep. There are a couple chartreuse ones.
