    Nice, Steve. Have you found it to be a relatively fast grower?

    EDIT: Steve, does your 'Hoosier Dome' have branched scapes? Kinda looks like it in your pic.

    Don,

    I think that's a volunteer fern emerging up through Hoosier Dome. And yes, I've found this to be one of the fastest growers in my garden. I'd like to make a variegated version of it.

    Steve,

    I imagine a variegated Hoosier Dome to be something like Continental Divide . . . unless you are aiming for a marginal variegation.

    Just a thought :)

    Hey, UK, thanks for posting something. The kiddies are all gone to bed, and just us night owls are around.

    So pleased to see you here, Ludi. When you go into something, you immerse totally...even with hosta.
    And Steve....enjoy the storm headed your way, hope no power out.

    And Don, you sent this our way, right? Our rain is about over, and not long ago when I poked my head out the back door, I heard tinkling icy rain. But,.....they said it was to get warmer again.

    Sorry, but I thought my garden was headed to a deep sleep earlier this month, then it woke up, and now after several days of cooler weather NEAR freezing, I wonder if those still standing will finally turn in for the duration. It is 45 right now, and the tinkling rain is coming down more quickly. Oh boy. Lots of pots to tip over tomorrow. I thought it was done raining....but not.

    Sleep warm....thank my lucky stars for wooly socks. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
