Welcome and your photo is great! We love photos!

Keep those photos coming.... looks like you might have slugs from the photo. There are many granular products you can put down before the rain starts that will elimate the slugs.

Teresa - who is so glad to see so many new members here at the forum!

Hi
Yep,slugs are a nuisance.Too be honest though a couple of bite holes here and there dont worry me.I'm organic,so no chemicals.I rely on the frogs from my pond and the hedgehogs in my garden to munch the slugs.
Nature seems to be keeping an acceptable balance.....for me anyway!I mulch with hay left over from my wifes rabbit hutch and the snails and slugs don't seem to like going on that too much.
Here's another pic,these ones are in more shade.

Kingfats,

If you copy the TAG line from photobucket, you can paste it right into the body of your post and not on the link area.

Also, please feel free to join us in the "Gallery" section of this forum. We're going through the end of the alphabet right now!

And, you are NOT posting too much!

Welcome! We have a 25th Anniversary poster leaving for your country this week. We have friends that will get Diana Grenfell's signature on it for us. She is the only living Alex J. Summers recipient who has yet to autograph it. We figure in the year 2019 will be the 50 year poster and we'll donate it to the auction to see what it'll fetch for the society. $. Yes we love photos. Keep'm coming. Later, Love, Lisa

Hi Char
Thanks for the heads up.
I'll check out the gallery.

Welcome Kingfats,

Saw you posting on the Test Forum (where people sometimes act silly). Nice to see your great photos. You sure know how to place your plants so they accent each other!

BTW, I left you a message in the test forum under exciting additions. Check it out.

Julie

Welcome to the hosta forum! I am afraid one of your hostas may be infected with HVX :( It's the big yellow one in this pic. Maybe some others will provide input about it, and I sure hope that's not what it is. Perhaps you could post a closer photo of that hosta?
~Angie

First of all, Kingsfat (you must explain your 'handle') WELCOME to the gang! We are always glad to see folks
step out and give us an opportunity to get to know them!

Second--love your pics. and your settings--keep up the great photography!!

Third--I'm afraid Angie may be right and you might very well have a *beauty with an unredeemable blemish*!
Don't you just hate that virus!!!!

Fourth--what is that lovely coral blooming plant to the left of the last pic. posted for you, by Angie? It looks
familiar but I can't come up with a name for it, right now!!

janice

Hi janice
The big plant too the left......Gunnera.
I'ts only a baby at the moment,the leaves can grow too six feet across when mature!It likes very damp rich soil and that's what i give it,including my Hostas.
I have old punctured pond liner dug in all around my pond
(just over a foot down) to slow down drainage,as most people in the UK grow Hostas as bog plants.
Mind you there's been no shortage of moisture this year what with the continual rain,but last year there was a severe drought.
But it looks like there forecasting some settled fair weather so it's not all bad.
I would just like too say again thanks for all the replys and welcomes,especially Julie.Cjheers.

Hi kingfats! Thank you for your response. So, you are saying the blooming plant in the extreme bottom-left
corner is 'Brunnera'? I've never seen one with reddish blossoms before!!! It's beautiful!

Hi janice
Just too be sure i've posted a better pic for you.
The big spiky leaved plant at the back is a GUNNERA.
Is that the one you meant?
Gets big,likes the sun and the wet!Cheers.

Welcome, King!

Beautiful photos, love looking into other people's gardens. Please tell us about hosta buying and collecting in England. And don't forget to tell us about your screen name!

~Bunnycat

BEEEUUTIFULLL pic! I love the 'GUNNERA'!LOL I don't know why I fixated on the word 'Brunnera'
rather than the real name! Brain freeze, I guess!

I love that one (the Gunnera), but I'm looking at the one at the very bottom left of your hosta, the one with
the tall stems and reddish blooms atop! The leaves remind me of 'Primrose' or 'Primula'! Could it be 'Primula'?

Hi Janice
Yes.....you're right it's a Primula.
lovely plants,like their feet wet!
