    Liked the first one, Paula. The thought of someone using an iPad that way. LOL.

    Peren.all, what a great looking BME

    Karin, I like your Bridal Falls a lot.

    This is going slow with the old iPad. Maybe I should stop swatting flies with it.

    Bix Blues

    Brave Amherst. This was such a delicate hosta in my garden in 2015. He got dug up and replanted due to some construction, and grew back looking like this. It's like his voice deepened and he got hairy. I guess even hostas go through puberty.

  • 9 years ago

    Two old standards. Blue Mouse Ears


    Blue Angel

  • 9 years ago

    Glad to see photos of Big Daddy. I picked one up this year and then read that it is a slow grower. Nice to see what I should expect.

    Well that BME just never seems to lose its cuteness! Beautiful one, peren.all!

    Beautiful Bridal Falls, Karin! I purchased one this year and I hope it looks like yours soon!

    My pictures are not organized as yet. It's one of my winter jobs. So I will be posting what I can find!

    Blue Cadet and Brim Cup (at the end of May)


    Blue Ivory


    Brother Stefan unfurling.


    I couldn't find a mid season picture of Brother Stefan, but here is an autumn one. Just a beautiful hosta.


    One of my BME that seemed to have nematodes in 2015. Went in isolation for 2016. No sign of nematodes this year! Yippee!

  • 9 years ago

    I saved this frost damaged hosta eye from a friends garden. I can not throw away a living plant...

    and got this nice Blue Angel (at least that's what I think it is) at the end of the year

    it even had a second flower late in fall :-)

    I hope so much that Bridal Falls will look that gorgeous again next year. I was in love with it from the very first moment when I took it out of the parcel. I did not expect it to be that white...

    The next B in my garden will be Brother Stefan...but your Blue Ivory is also a very nice hosta...

    Blue Ivory is so photogenic. I know what you mean Karin when you say you can't throw away a living plant. It will be exciting to see what hosta it will grow up to be.

    If my Bridal Falls flourishes, I am sure it will be one of my top ten favorites!

    'Blue Hawaii'

    'Blaze of Glory'

    'Blue Mammoth' (sorry for the poor quality and light)

    A just-planted Blue Hawaii:

    And new Brother Stefan:

    I know I can't properly call this Blue Maui, but it's a sport of Rainforest Sunrise, and it resembles the pic in the Library:

    I have just a few B's to share:

    Baby Blue Eyes

    Really...I have some other B's to share....I just don't know where I put them!!!! Perhaps another time. Looks like I need to work out a system for my pictures.

  • 9 years ago

    'Brother Stefan' has wonderfully thick leaves.

    Here's a picture of Beach Boy. Supposed to be similar to Great Expectations, but more vigorous.

    Exceptional Blue Mouse Ears, Laurie!

    I started the Alphabet a bit late, think I missed the first few. If I find some nice photos, I'll be back to contribute a few :).

    Beet Salad - a vigorous grower! With beautiful beet-red stockings...

    ...and a smudge of "lipstick" line at tips in early spring..

    ...to the whole plant

    ending with flowers.

    A tidy, pretty hosta with a pleasing shape overall.

    Thanks Jo! Yes, yes we need to see your beautiful B's. I am sure you have Bridal Falls and BME and....

    Lol, I segued quite easily into...

    Brother Stefan - an immediate love for this youngster. Thank you for enabling, NHL - you featured yours in a pot two years ago and I just had to have one.

    It grows in a fair bit of sun so the green never gets as beautifully pronounced as in photos previously shown. Wish I had more shade...

    Big Daddy and his little sidekick, a tiny piece that I removed two years ago.

    BD got relocated last spring into a bit more sun...not sure about leaving him there as he gets sunburned...see last photo.

  • 9 years ago

    Bedazzled - also relocated last year. Has been very vigorous growing in sun. A nice tight clump but would be even nicer with a little less sun...enabling the leaves to stretch out a bit more for form. A wonderful hosta.

  • 9 years ago

    Barbara Ann

    This is the colour she first emerged with last year.

  • 9 years ago

    WOW! Now that was worth waiting for, each one just beautiful! Love the progression pics.

  • 9 years ago
    last modified: 9 years ago

    Laurie, you are too kind, thank you.

    Worthy of mention....The neat feature about 'Bedazzled' is that the green centre is shaped like a maple leaf...but that is difficult to discern in my plant, lol. I remember Cindy from Hosta Fever mentioning that point when I bought it years ago.

  • 9 years ago

    Thank you for those gorgeous Bridal Falls pictures,Jo! I really love that one! The pastell colours are so special.
