Hmmm...I guess no one is growing this older variety...

I remember seeing someone refer to Camelot and Sea Drift on a very old post, maybe around 2008? Oh oh, might have been Ken? Or not?
I'm surprised no one's responded....hard to imagine not one person has one?

By the way, Don, thank you for posting the photo of your pretty pond in larger view..was going to acknowledge when you posted more pics of your project...

Don r, thanks for posting this, though. Your post influenced me to look up this variety, and it went on my 'Get-it' list. Looks like an oldie but a goodie to me! I'm going to look for a retailer who sells it...I should never say I'm placing a 'final order for the season'. : )

Regards,
Don B. (The guy with the pond pic) You're welcome, Jo! : )

Sheepish here...wonder how I could use symbols to show that kind of face...Don B in Colorado, you are a nice individual ...:-) I will try to pay more attention....or did I just know you were going to peek in on this post, hmmm? ......naaaahh, didn't think you'd buy that! LOL

LOL It's OK Jo! I'm pretty sure don r didn't lose any skin, either. : )

'Sea Drift' is a good one I really wasn't aware of previously. I can see why Olga P. uses it in her breeding programs; The piecrust edge is to-die-for. I'm guessing it not expensive, seeing how 'old' it is...

'Sea Drift' has been on my wish list for quite awhile....for my hybridizing program. Probably one of the best choices for passing on rippled edges to its progeny.

The photo in The Hostapedia (page 817) shows the very evenly-rippled edges. Zilis says, "Mildred Seaver once remarked to me that she felt 'Sea Frolic' was 1000 percent nicer than 'Sea Drift'. I do not agree. I find the regular ripples of 'Sea Drift' more appealing..."

'Sea Drift' was used to create both 'Niagara Falls' and 'Brutus'- two very large hostas with nicely rippled edges.

I can't seem to find anyone who is selling it, Don. I'll certainly keep looking, though.
