I love the cupped hostas. That's the point of this post.

I was out this morning picking up limbs & debris from storm damage, and stopped to say 'hello' to my baby Blue Splendor (BS). I fell in love all over again with this little guy.

Here's a pic of the mature BS at Hornbaker Gardens this year. I allowed myself a couple impulse buys based on mature specimens and BS was one of them.

And, here's my baby right after planting:

What struck me most is the amount of cupping going on at this young age. I've had other cupped hosta in the past, but not BS. Sorting though my brain for old mental notes, I don't remember the cupping being pronounced or really great on others until they were in the ground for a couple years at least.

Did I mention that I loooove cupped hosta? He's so perky, and cuppy already. Just adore the little guy, and really excited for next year.
