Isn't it great? I got mine last year with 4 eyes. It came up with 15 eyes this year. Fast increaser. Here's mine early this year.

I've been boning up on current events and political news so I have some ammunition when I visit my family for Thanksgiving. How boring!

Will somebody please post some more pics of Silk Kimono so I can dream about where to place it in the spring when it gets here?

I've been a high information voter for decades but this year I'm going to dig up some duplicates and bring them with me for gifting. Maybe next year we can talk about hosta at the dinner table.

Here's mine in its third year. Another Dorothy Benedict x montana cross. So that makes it a sib to Alligator Shoes.

Ahhh, love Silk Komono -- has a lot going for it.

Then, Steve, I have the Alligator Shoes to ship from Naylor in the spring. Right now Alligator Alley is still perky, but it may change tonight after temps reach 39 degrees. Even some of my formerly dormant hosta came back to life, like Moonlight Sonata, which has fairly low dormancy requirements anyway. But I'm going to try putting it to sleep again for good tonight, not letting it have any rain.

Great pics. Mine was a single eye this year, off of a mature clump. Gives me something to look forward to. : )

Well, it seems I also have Alligator Shoes coming this spring. I guess it's a look that appeals to me. And I'm looking at Gone with the Wind. Would anybody like to address similarities and differences?

Thanks for the pics Steve and Don. And Mocc, my Alligator Shoes is coming from Green Mountain in the spring.
