    mbug...

    all growing really well, I can understand why you singled them out.

    Hard to select a favourite, but if pushed, perhaps I'd opt for Lakeside PP - a difficult choice, however, since they all look so darn good! Hard to believe you were hit by frost early in the season based on these pics - good comeback!

    That is a gorgeous Brother Stefan. Makes me with mine didn't lose its color. I love the texture on that one. Great coloring on your Goodness Gracious and Lakeside PP. They all look really good!

    Pictures of Brother Stefan looking like that are why I gave it a primo spot in my garden, but mine bleaches out too. How much sun/shade does it get?

    Kathy.....B S gets some direct sun but it's in an area that stays pretty bright. I lucked out finding an area it seemed to like

    Beautiful! Your plants always look so perfect! Do you ever have trouble with cutworms? I seem to have a lot of damage from them this year.

    Don....check out Blue Perfection too.....an Ambrosia sport. I got it last year but lost it over the winter.

    Wowsers. These are all beautiful, so lush! Where do you live to get that kind of growth and perfection? I also really like the dark mulch you used around them. While I'm generally not a fan, in this case, it really sets off their colors.

    mbug_gw, these pictures are stunning.
    I would like to ask for permission to upload them to a website I'm working on for a professor of mine where we hope to help hosta enthusiasts identify hostas. Images are given credit to their sources so I could point that back here with a link. The site is idmyhosta.com It is non-commercial and not complete either, editing the database is currently very limited, but the idea is we can pull from the knowledge of other hosta enthusiasts to build a comprehensive and accurate database. Right now there are gray placeholder images for most hosta entries and some pictures confirmed to be from the correct hostas would do wonders for the usability and purpose. We would love it if you would have a look at the site, but if you aren't interested It would be wonderful to get permission to use the images you've uploaded here. We are taking image rights very seriously and ask that noone upload images they haven't either taken themselves or gotten permission to use.

    rickey....feel free to use images for the hosta id. Let me know what you need

    Thank you very much! I've added some 8 picture to the database, feel free to go visit them there! Your hostas are so healthy and beautiful.

    Looky at Blond Elf. She sure had a growth spurt. I have a sentimental attachment to her. LOL The rest of them are mighty fine, too!
