What a difference in 2 days. I took a few pictures on Sunday and they are much more advance today, though many are still just pips. Also very interesting, the different micro-climates in my yard. June on the east side of my house is up and unfurled. A division that came from the same plant on the west side of my house is still pips only.

At any rate, the annual hosta "kneel and feel" is complete. 214 on my list (including duplicates of several plants, a few seedlings and some weedlings). 209 are accounted for. 2 are confirmed dead, 1 is suspected dead, but I didn't get a chance to dig it, 1 is always the last up in the spring and I forgot to look for 1 small weedling. A few others may not make it as the growth is extremely small and weak.

Here are a few pics from today. I love the fresh colour.
