Just one C

Captain Kirk

I like this County Park because it is different :)

Country Mouse

Cherry Berry

Here is Calypso hiding in deep shade where I'm hoping she'll fare better. This was an impulse purchase. Had I done any research I would have avoided it. It is reported to be challenging, to say the least.

Christmas Pageant - 2nd year after moving to brighter spot, starting to get happy

Clifford's Comet - will throw off an all green division occasionally (next pic)

Green Clifford's Comet sport - much bigger than Clifford's Comet - nice leaf shape

Color Festival (3rd yr)

Paul

I have a few more C's......
H.'Canadian Blue'

H.'Cutting Edge'

H.'Candy Dish'

H. clausa

H. 'Crowned Imperial'

Wow, some more to add to my wish list.

Here's my Cherry Tomato on August 2 reverting back to Cherry Berry. Sorry I bought it. I made the wrong choice. I should have bought Cherry Tart instead.The scapes are definitely out of proprtion to the rest of the plant.

Cat's eye also on August 2. About 3-4 years old. It's one of the smallest minis in my garden. It hasn't increased much in size because of root competition. I will move it next spring.

Here are a few more Cs. My wish list is getting longer. I cannot wait for my Carnival to look like Mctavish6's. (Hopefully) Paula

almosthooked, here is a pic of Cuyahoga (Dorothy Benedict x Swoosh) - it has been slow to establish for me, still 1 eye. Bought thru MnHS (probably a 2nd yr liner) in '09, pic from '11.

@squirejohn Thanks for the pic of your Cat's Eye. Now I know what I should be aiming for.

Just one.

Cameo

Chartreuse Wiggles was bright earlier. This from September 2012

Cathedral Windows....late in the season, guess it shows the plantaginea effect?

Climax

Curly Fries x 2 (2 in one pot)...got them in 2011, so a year older than most of my hosta.

Clovelly

Squirejohn, your Cat's Eye is really tiny. It took the quarter to impress this upon me. Should it need shade, I suppose you could take the umbrella ornamenting a lady's cocktail and it would have adequate shade!

I wonder if Esther in NY would be able to find room in her city garden for this one...... :)

I'm impressed as usual with the way the hosta grow in the ground and in containers. Some wonderful gardeners on this forum. Thanks for the eye candy. Wish I could show off my Candy Dish, but it melted away after a hopeful beginning.

First year Cathedral Windows.

Being from Carolina,I just had to have this Carolina Blue. Ths pic is from April,2012. Phil

Great pictures everyone,
Phil, I love that Carolina Blue. My plant got so big I had to move it this year. It has out performed Halcyon and many other blues enormously.

Ilovetogrow - hang in with Carnival. Mine went through an ugly duckling stage for a couple years. It's a favorite now with it poofy, pillow like look.

I'm attaching a picture of Candy Dish. Does anyone have and idea of why this looks so weird? It gets very dark veins but looks like its lacking in something for most of the leaf. I have a couple other plants that do this too. They are all in different areas so I can't imagine it would be the soil but maybe?

Seems to me McTavish , I have a piece of your Carolina Blue lol. Phil yours is beautiful, as all your plants and can hardly wait for spring. I am trying to resist adding more to my want list from all the great plants shown

Merle,

I see that pattern regularly with young seedlings. I think it needs more sun.

Steve

Clifford's Forest Fire,from May of 2012. Maybe it should be under the F's? Phil

I totally understand trying to moderate on a wish list for this year.....I mean, we are only in the "D" section so far, and I have hosta names written on little slips of paper stuck to the edge of my big monitor!

Like Cadillac....and Carolina Blue.....and Cat's Eye (although I'm trying to resist something so small I could cover it up with one fallen pecan leaf). And this is just the beginning. Plus, I am doing seeds too. Ah, mercy.....when will it end? MUST we buy the vacant house with a 100'w x 350' deep lot on the street behind us? Perfect place with lots of tall trees and a swale which can become a dammed up pond....before real estate goes up high due to the arrival here of AirBus....... hmmmmm....

Cathedral Windows. I'm gonna hafta drive around it later this year! I planted it too close to the driveway! Phil

Phil, that H.'Cathedral Windows' is a real beauty, needs certainly a place in full view. That cultivar and 'Brother Stefan' should be hosta of the year, I believe. Bernd

hosta_freak, how old is your H. Carolina Blue? It sure looks a zillion times better than mine!!!! plantbug

HH, when GWeb began the single upload of a photo, I thought it was mighty skimpy. However, now I realize it can be a blessing. Each post can be indexed for retrieval, when the Google bot visits the forum. Much better than a whole string of pictures in one post. Of course, a comparison which requires two photos would be split, and that makes it valid to keep either Photobucket or Flickr for multiples.

When I take a lot of pictures, before I upload them to Flickr, I add tags to them to find the hosta name. Going straight from the camera to the computer to the forum sort of cuts out the middleman.

I came back to edit this post because I saw that my picture was not here anymore. So here is Cerveza. Got it in spring of 2012. The picture is not the greatest---I lost a better photo when my memory card was damaged. The photo doesn't do the color justice, but Cerveza is described as being "amber gold" in color. I wasn't sure I was quite keen on it, but then it did seem to stand out from a lot of the other hostas because of its color. I think it kept its color all season. I'll see what happens next year.

Some more C's

Camelot - a nice small blue, pic didn't quite capture color

Cascades - 3rd year, starting to get establish

Chain Lightning - out of Pin Stripe Sister

Choo Choo Train - surprised someone hasn't added this one,

Continental Divide - DB X(Eliator x Niagara Falls), 2nd year from liner, decent progress in 2012

Crested Surf - 1st year, Neat Splash selfed

@Squirejohn

That Cats Eye is incredible! Does that go into the Microscopic Category?

Captain Kirk

Harry, at first glance I though that was a part of your house in the top left. Now that would be a giant hosta! It's a beautiful plant and makes me realize mine has a long way to go.
