Could just be trying to get better reception, since you won't spring for cable in the garden.

uncle who???

You guys are too funny. You had me rolling on the floor with laughter.

Maybe he was just happy to see you. Twice.

Ha ha The first thing I thought of was Ray Walston as Uncle Martin of 'My Favorite Martian'.

Or maybe that hosta is a 'Victory'?

Yup, Don... that's hosta 'Victory'. It wasn't until I loaded the picture onto my computer that I noticed that the two flower scapes formed a V.

Thanks for taking the time to comment, everyone.

Yeah, the Victory splays out the scapes like that, and I had to take steps to control them. I mean, they are blocking my pathways.

Can you see in this picture where I used part of a bamboo pole and a hair clip (like they use to hold up orchid sprays) to control the extra long scapes? I wonder if the originator (Solberg?) named it Victory because of the "V" shape.

And earlier on, when the scapes were beginning to get long, I worried about breaking them off as I walked by. Hence Victory had to be moved to the new spot under the RED umbrella.

Could be a warning - Voles - NAH!
