OOOH Holly. Love your EEs. What kinds do you have? This year I have 5 kinds, 4 of which came from a generous trader from NC about 6 weeks ago I have the common green one (Photo 2), Black Runner, Diamond Head, Coffee Cups, and Illustris. Black Diamond (photo 1) is my favorite right now. Not a stellar photo, I know, but this way you can see how shiny the leaf is. Since this picture was taken, 2 more leaves have opened.

Also, I've been wanting to share a picture of one of my Hosta 'Guacamole''s flower spike (picture 3). I personally don't care much for hosta flowers and usually cut them off (maybe not anymore due to HVX). But this hosta has big, beautiful, pristine white trumpets with a pleasant scent that's not overwhelming. I believe 'Guacamole' is a sport of 'Fragrant Bouquet'.
