Pumpkin on Blue Mouse Ears

As I walked around looking at all the fall colours on the hostas, I was compelled to take this picture. If that isn't a "pumpkin" orange, I don't know what is!

June, Ann Kulpa, Cold Heart, Blue Cadet, Paul's Glory, June Spirit, half of Mini Skirt...they show no fall colour at all yet.

Care to share some Fall colours?

    That Blue Mouse Ears is so cute! Love its fall colors!!!!

    I just had to post a couple of pictures to keep your BME company.

    Here is one of my favorite hostas Paul's Glory.

    I was doing some cleaning up today and put these pots in a grouping. I wish hail had not damaged the leaves, but I think it still is photo worthy.

    Where oh where are McTavish's spectacular fall photos? She is the one who made me look at hostas going dormant in a whole new light. I used to just yank those yellow leaves. She has some spectacular photos of leaves changing to fall colors.

    I hope she posts some too, Babka - I've been cleaning up too, pulling off the sprawling (splayed out) leaves that were too heavy to hold themselves up after the frost got to them a couple of nights ago. One of my FW's leaves is so bright orange I had to stop to stare. Unfortunately camera was not at hand. :-(

    NHL - that sure is a nice grouping!

    During the hail we received, I ran out to "save" my Great Expectations. This hosta brings me a lot of joy.

    Newhostalady- You have NAILED it! I live in a place where we can easily grow just about everything...except hostas. Hostas bring me joy. That is why I persevere. Hooray for you! Print that marvelous pic and put it on your fridge! (I will).

    And after it's placed on the fridge, :-) please submit a copy via email to Hosta Library. That is an outstanding picture of GE - the epitome of hosta beauty!

    Those are some great pictures. I love the colors of the fall. I should go down and take some pictures of Faye's trees. With much more planning than I am capable of she has trees in every color - really beautiful. Meanwhile here are a few more hostas with their variety of colors.

    Thank you Babka for the compliment. It is wonderful that you want to print my picture and put it on your fridge! Hostas are so wonderful and seeing their beauty is a real joy. I know you agree.

    Thanks Jo. I never thought of submitting a fall photo to the Hosta Library. I wonder whether they would be accepted. Speaking for myself, I love to see hostas in all stages of development. It gives a better picture of what can be expected.

    McTavish, wonderful pictures as always! Great colors! My favorite is your Whirlwind photo. It very much looks like a GE.

    josephines67, that one really does have pumpkin coloring to it. Beautiful pics everyone. I really like the GE, and the Leather Sheen, and that one with the layered look. What a good idea to take a picture from that vantage point. I get such good ideas from you all!

    Is it my imagination or does anyone else think the colours are more vivid this year than last???

    Sherry, that leaf is gorgeous!

    Shame on me! This is the first year I have paid attention to the fall colors. You guys have opened my eyes again!!! I guess I'm finally getting my hosta geek on.

    Climax was a new one for me this year. Love the bright yellow.

    Hostanista, these are really good pics! BD is really looking good with that green for contrast! The climax leaf and the tree in the background echo each other - quite beautiful!
