I agree with you - I want my lush broadleaf evergreens, crapes, camellias and hydrangeas. I like my tropicals used as annuals as well. <BR/><BR/>BTW the only hosta I have not killed was one I pulled from the compost pile at work. Not knowing where to put it, I set it down and forgot it was there. It has now rooted in and thrives while all others are passed.<BR/><BR/>I went to the Eastern Shore this weekend and during the 4th of July parade there were many Warner stickers but not one Gilmore. It did my heart good.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18281256160705697856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193243073610128607.post-85298713156600624882008-07-08T08:25:00.000-07:002008-07-08T08:25:00.000-07:00Welcome home!

We spent part of June '07 in Northern PA, and I, too, experienced some mild jealousy when I saw the gorgoeus hosta and elegant conifers. But I agree with you--it's always wonderful to return to the chaotic growth of the Tidewater. By the way, I've had pretty good luck with Green & White hosta here (not sure of the Latin name)--mine gets pretty big and the leaves stay pretty healthy.
