Well today was our 46th anniversary so spent the morning cutting down a tree that fell on my raised bed iris and raspberry gardens. Then we went out to lunch at Red Lobster and on the way home stopped at a favorite nursery and bought a Hosta for a swap I'm in. The asian proprietor was so nice, I was looking for a small hosta that would fit in my priority box and she says, no no buy the biggest one and you divide and keep one for you. My sister caught me getting out of the car with it and wanted to know how did I rate a new plant. Told her it was for a swap and that I would be dividing it. Guess she'll get a piece too.

I totally forgot about the red food coloring experiment until I walked past it. I couldn't imagine where the pink iris came from as I don't have any that color. So here's the picture, stem.
