| Info | Alex tells us 'Ben Hur' is a sport found in a tray of his fabulously popular hosta 'Electrum Stater'. Keeping with ancient Greco-Roman themes, 'Ben Hur' seemed a fitting name for this new arrival. Checking into some history about Ben Hur, we at First Look found that you could build a theme bed, heck, an entire garden around what Ben Hur represents! |
