Next Up, D

16 years ago

Most of my pix are from early in the season. We had a horrible year for gardening this year in my area. Slugs were out of control with constant rain.

So, this is a pic of Dawn's Early Light which is neon bright in spring.

    Man, Dawns Early Light is beautiful. Here's a baby Devon Green.

    A beautiful small hosta - Dixie Chick. The margins have green speckles in them. A really good grower for me.

    This is really fun. But, we are only in the D's and I can tell I'm going to have a long want list before this alphabet is over!

    Dust Devil was purchased based on a photo on this forum.

    Phil, here is my Dark Star last year. It's a little more mature than yours. I think it's a great hosta.

  • 16 years ago

    Hi again, I only have two pictures of hostas with D names.


    Dew Drop ( a gift from a dear friend, but has draw -string problems so I wouldn't recommend it)



    Dark Star (trade from H F friend Jill in '07)

    Here's Dress Blues,(not to be confused with Bill's Dress Blues). A good growing hosta for me. Phil

    Here's Deja Blu, brand new in its nursery pot.

    I find it peculiar that there haven't been ANY posts past Wednesday...

    Here's a sample of my single division of Dawn's Early Light in the early part of the season, when it's still that nice bright yellow. This was May 1st.

    Here it is in early August and all the yellow leaves have dried up and there is naught but green to be seen. I tried -unsuccessfully- to keep the yellow for as long as possible on as many leaves as possible by keeping the potted plant in full sun. In spite of making sure its water needs were looked after, by late May I started to see the first signs of desiccation of the the earliest leaves and eventually all those early, yellow ones turned into parchment. As you can see, the later season leaves are all green and none of them show the heavy undulating edge to them. Hopefully that'll show up again on next year's plant.

    Pieter the color on your DEL looks pretty good to me, more yellow than green or maybe it's my monitor? DEL does change to chartreuse later on in the season.
    That is strange about no Wed. posts, were there really none at all on the hosta forum?

    That is strange about no Wed. posts, were there really none at all on the hosta forum?

    Yep, none at all on THURSDAY. The last ones were late on Wednesday, none on Thursday and then suddenly there were two on Friday within 3 or 4 minutes.... strange, very strange...

    Heres some D's - too many I know. Give me a limit someone and I'll try to stick to it!
