Denis, that is going to be one gorgeous hosta. Hope you find the right spot to show it off.

Yes Ken the setting sun was throwing the colour off, its not near as yellow as the pic shows, That is a lovely specimen Ihope mine will look as good in a few years, thanks for posting.

Denis...I presume that one's eventually heading for that wonderful bed you created with all those great rocks. Either that or you'll need to build up your back muscles to cope with it in a pot in the not too distant future! I love the tall vase shaped ones too, but when they get too large, some of them need staking in a pot which is a bit of a pain.

Here is mine, easily the tallest hosta I own. The leaf shape really sets it apart and you can see the shiny leaf texture as well. It is a solid med green, I have mine in short period of morning sun only, stuffed under a rhododendron. This hosta is also over 10 yrs old and has never been moved/ divided. It got hit with late frost so the leaves aren't perfect this year.

Some exercises for future up-pottings/transplant for 'Jade Cascade.'

Don, you funny guy, you!

Lol Don! I don't have a very good back so there will be none of that sorta thing at all at all at all, your pic is a good likeness tho well done on my abs lol.

Yes BC I think that spot would be beautiful place for it, don't even mention the back muscles lest they go into spasm.

Threedogsmom she is lovely. Yours and Ken's are very shiny, mine seems to have a coat of wax and is dull, I just went out and gave it a slight rub and its shiny underneath, does yours start out like this or is mine off type?

I honestly can't remember how it was as a young plant, but perhaps the shiny becomes more pronounced with age.

All my hostas have been whacked by falling pine branches this spring.

Kathy

im not sure yours is proper for the name ... i dont ever recall it being glaucous

ken

Thanks Kathy, its lovely, I see that yours is not shiny, does it get shinier as the season goes on?

Ken, you could be right, I guess I'll have to wait and see what it does, its in full sun so far here in the frozen north, its still unfurling. The 5th pic on the library looks a bit glaucous.

This is it when I received it last July, no sign of shininess then either.

Great hosta,Denis! I've never seen this one in person. Please post again when it is in its new home.

Will do, Sherry
