I read Jojo's comment and thought why not. I didn't see any plants that had been thrown away, but I asked someone in the garden section, and they said they thought they had some somewhere and went to ask someone, and sure enough, they did have a throwaway pile that they said I was welcome to if I wanted it. I took all six pots and the labels say they are Patriots. Time will tell. Thanks for all the wonderful info and inspiration. I am very impressed by all the things you people do and the life you live.

I had two times of flowering this year. Great site. I tried your suggestion about cutting off the seed pods to get more flowers — and it did work great. I had two times of flowering this year.

True, the hosta's don't look too good right now, but the root system's are nice so I think they will be ok. I noticed a pile of pots with dirt and hosta's just thrown in a corner and I asked the clerk what they were and he said they were going to be thrown out. I asked if I could have them and much to my surprise they gave me those and 6 more that were in better shape. If the label's are accurate it looks like I have some duplicate's but mostly different. I have planted them and like I said, the root's looked good. Wish me luck for next year. That sounds like the deal I just got at Lowe’s.
