The Hosta started coming up a bit over a week ago now. But the leaves on all but a few have not opened yet. Most of my plants have been breaking ground over the past 2 weeks. Just hoping that these guys just need a little more time then the others.

Hope they made it.

My neighbors clump of Spotty Dotty has expanded its range, he is going to give me the travelers!

I hope they do well for you, I am still hoping mine pop up.

Bob
have yours come up yet ? they sure seem slow to show
i have some of their brothers & sisters pollinated

Dick

None of them have come up yet. I do have hopes for one of them but no sign at all of the other 3. Still hoping for the best but the natives have been up for over a month and are in flower now.

Bob
they are 3 years old and maybe your winter which they have never experienced put them into shock
if so they will hide for a year and will still be there next spring
if you know exactly where they are you can dig one up to check

Right now there are little white stubs sticking up out of the ground about 1/2 inch high where 3 of them where. One is soft 2 are somewhat firm , one of these 2 is starting to show some green in it. No sign of the forth one. We are having a cold Spring so I am hoping when things warm up a bit some might show up.

I grew podophyllum from seed, took several years but it finally bloomed this year.

Ellen are you growing the natives?

NJBob, as in Podophyllum peltatum Mayapple? Yes I do have a patch of those. Few years back someone gave me seeds of podophyllum hexandrum, I believe Kaleydoscope was mentioned but I think it is hexandrum as spots do fade as plant grows. It took few years for it to grow and this was first year it bloomed.
I have patches of arisaemas and Jacks multiplying so it is happy place LOL

Dick one of the Spotty Dottys finally broke ground, small but at least I know it made it. And I am pretty sure 2 of the others are going to be coming up soon.

Ellen sounds nice, would love to see some pictures. Hexandrum is on the want list.

Julia did you ever make your trip to Keeping it Green, get anything interesting?

No have not made the trip. Had an unexpected trip with my oldest. Cross country drive from Salt Lake to Chicago. Also my container clients have been keeping me busy. Spring was a long time coming then boom spring.

Some heucheras grown from seed, arisaemas, favorite hosta Gilt by association, love it with lysimachia Firecracker. Syneilesis aconitofolia from seed

Podophyllum grown from seed, no dark spots now, white flower on brown leaves in the spring. Baby podophyllum, Mayapple patch.

Very nice Ellen, natural looking gardens are my favorite.

Ellen
i assume the 1st & 3ed picts are your hexandrum & pict 2 is peltatum ?
i have purchased hexandrum twice now from the varigated pict on line
http://www.farreachesfarm.com/...
they start out with a little variegated markings but loose it fast and they wind up looking like yours haven't got bloom yet

Thanks for letting me know!
Thanks to this thread I just got some happy Spotty Dotty in my garden for very reasonable price from Wayside.
Of course ligularia Osiris had to come with it too LOL

Tiny but a Spotty Dotty showed up.

Bob
how are your SpottyDotty's doing ?

i have pollinated SpottyDotty with Kaleidoscope
and pollinated Kaleidoscope with SpottyDotty
and the difference in the seed pods is interesting
here are the some of SpottyDotty pods



and here are the Kaleidoscope pods



i have searched the internet to see if anybody has posted when or how to take and set the seed
the only info i found is on P hexandrum, i will play it by ear and hope for the best
