It is a bit early to dig this up--but I suppose I could???? The Swap is 3 weeks away.....Hmmm....

I am talking about my 2 August Lily Hostas which badly need dividing...They are still in bloom..so I think I should wait....
It will be a big chore...they are growing smack against a brick edging to the bed..
These would be great for your "old" bed--as they ARE a Hosta--and can take shade--BUT--they bloom beautifully
in August with fragrant, trumpet-like blooms...Do you know what plant I am talking about?

I may as well aim to have it dug and divided while the weather is cooler. The soil is really wet too--that will help to dig...
See? Now I am talking myself into it....

Here is a picture of the blooms-----Gita
