| Being out of my garden for almost a month I managed to get out there today and noticed some severe yellowing on two of my hostas.
Earth Angel Red October It is September 5th after all but we haven�t been getting down below 60 degrees at night. There has been a lot of rain and not a lot of sunshine but I feel like if these are the markings of fall then it might be a bit early. None of the other 30 some hostas I have are showing these 'tired' symptoms. Are some cultivars more susceptible to going to bed early ? Also, my Red October is putting out two flower stalks. I had read it is a late bloomer, but is this a bit too late ? Beginner's questions, but I appreciate your time and responses. Thank you as always ! Ludi

| That's what it is. Some get ready for dormancy earlier than others. Steve |

| Some of mine are nearly down for the count already this year. The early spring and hot dry summer stressed out many and they are ready to call it a season. I don't blame them. See you next spring, sleeping beauties! Karen |
