Hosta C 2014

What was the President �s Name in 1975?

If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined them all in another field?

Q. What did the cat say after eating two robins lying in the sun?
A. I just love baskin� robins.

Cool to see your Cs:

    New this year, Cape Cod.

    Peren.all, love the clausa flowers and the way the plant is spreading. I have a couple of the species plants but they are doing not much so far. However, I have Purple Lady Fingers which has similar closed flowers, quite impressive.

    Irawon, you and DonB were passing back and forth with the "C" presentations, like watching a tennis match.

    I plan to repot my Climax into a MUCH LARGER pot. It is going into YEAR FOUR come spring, and if it leaps, I don't want to be standing too close. Beautiful plant, Myrle.

    This is an oldie. It's an old Lachman plant, introduced in 1989. A first year plant, it did very well here in the heat and neglect of 2014.

    City lights that is sporting. I used my BF camera last summer to take pics and he has moved and we can't find the camera,think it is in his storage.AGhhhhh!
    Hopefully I will find it and post some more.

  • 11 years ago

    Yes moccasinlanding I wish I had more species hostas. I like to see the origins from whence they came.
    Seems like Purple Lady Fingers is a much better plant for anyone that has limited space. I like it.
    Saketini is one I am looking forward to getting in the ground. It has pale purple closed flowers. Do you grow that one ? (you have so many).
    I really enjoyed the tennis match too!
    Thanks Sherry-happy to show one you had not seen.

    GREAT pic of City Lights, Hostanista.

    HostaHosta, your pic of Color Glory just compelled me to add it to my '15 list of Must Haves. That's gorgeous!

    ConnieMay, your Curly Fries is the largest leafed specimen of that hosta I ever saw. I think it likes being in the ground.

    And Hostanista, your Climax touched by the fall temp drop, it is gorgeous. It is well up on my list of favorite plants.

    And also your Clear Fork River Valley, it isn't a giant hosta, but the leaf size is impressive. I love that hosta. I plan to move it close to my Doubled Up, a smooth green fragrant, which is also a medium hosta which lives big. Then maybe a third which I'm undecided about. Although, Johnny Angel, a true yellow gold, might work making a blue/green/yellow trio. All three of those are durable and similar in ultimate size.

    Edited to add. This has been RENAMED Borwick Beauty.

    Woooow, Peren, that's just beautiful! I have to wonder how I managed to overlook this one for so long.

  • 11 years ago

    H. Color Glory is actually H. Borwick Beauty. It's a sport of Great Expectations that was stolen from the McBurnie's garden in the UK. It was registered incorrectly in order to obscure the correct origin. Check the Library.

    The farmer would have none, because he doesn't have another field. It would be someone else's field.
    Outstanding!

    steve_mass --- Thank you so much for the info on the renaming of CG to Borwick Beauty.
    I did know they were considered to be the same hosta, but had no idea the horrid deception that occurred.
    As soon as I saw your post I went to the Hosta Library and started reading >>
    Thankfully, some of the true great hybridizers are now getting the recognition they so deserve.
    Clearly I have been underutilizing a great resource that is right at my fingertips, The Hosta Library.
    I still love my books, but I know one that will make great fire starter.
    Again, thank you.

    Chesapeake Bay is gonna be a looker, with those long leaves, Don. Time is flying with our hostas. You'll have a lot maturing this coming season too. Cannot WAIT to see them.

    Just wanted to get this picture of Coconut Custard into this thread. It turned into a plain greenie by summers end. In fairly heavy shade it did not burn.

    Harryshoe, she's a beauty!

    Peren.all, here's CRUMB CAKE. It turns green later... in my garden. Does yours retain the yellow?

  • 11 years ago

    Hi irawon - Thanks for posting this little cutie. I was really impressed with Crumb Cake. I planted it late fall 2013 and it grew well (still small though) and stayed a clear bright yellow all season. Mine gets sun until at least 12:30 - 1:00.
    I will be sure to get a pic this year. Thanks again!

  • 11 years ago

    Thanks, for the info, peren.all. I'm going to move CC to a sunnier spot this spring, then. It grew really fast for me, so I moved it out of my mini bed to this location. Having it in a sunnier spot may help to keep the slugs at bay as well.
