Lancifolia, my very first hosta that started it all for me.

Liberty

I have great fondness for Lancifolia as it was given to me by my father. In turn, I've passed it on to my sons. The beat goes on!

Love the Luna Moth, I will be adding onto my wish list. Here are my L's

Lancifolia, came with our house, grows well. I always have extra to give away.

Liberty, looks amazing all season long.

Kathy and Jo, how small is Limey Lisa? Had to look that one up...love the color.

Lovely Ls' everyone. Paula, Lucy Vitols is so attractive.

Another Leather and Lace in a cropped photo - sorry about the poor resolution.

I have two shots of Little Treasure. The first One was on May 7, the second on September 7. It was new this past spring, can't say enough good things about it.

Sherry

Wonderful pictures...my garden is definitely too small for my wishlist...

Sherry is absolutely right, Little Treasure is a treasure, everyone should have it.

Another L that brought me lots of fun is Longipes Aurea

One of the hostas that still looked not so bad in November:-)

Lime Smoothie

Jamie, Limey Lisa is a mini. When she grew in the sun, she was a golden/lime colour. I may move her this spring as Fragrant Dream has grown and no longer needs to shelter LL! ;-)

I just checked my Shadrack/Shadrack "The Book of Little Hostas" and it quotes size as 8x21". One of the things on my bookkeeping to-do list is to measure circumference of plants...at least the mature ones, lol.

How long will it take until my small Liberty (bought 2016) will be as big and beautiful as the ones shown above? Does it tolerate sun?

I have never heard of Leapin Lizard before so it is funny that a belgian friend send me a picture of that one today and now I see more pics here :-) a very interesting hosta. Is it difficult?

Mae, nice to have plants from our parents to pass on to our children, isn't it? My three daughters each have a piece of this Lancifolia as well. I have four growing in different locations and all are doing great - even the one in almost full sun. :-)

Such lovely pics of Liberty - mine not so lovely but it is the only one I have

Limey Lisa

Little Treasure

Little White Lines - For the longest time I thought this one was Ginko Craig but never quite felt the ID was good then I saw Little White Lines at a Hosta nursery and know I'm leaning towards Little White Lines - anyone have these two and care to comment?

Great hostas one and all!

Liberty ....later in season

Karin, I've had my Liberty since 2009 like Jill. It's grown well for me even though it competes with tree roots for nutrients and the literature states it's sun tolerant. Mine has an eastern orientation.

Great looking "L"s everyone! No wonder Liberty is so popular. Luna Moths are all impressive, too. I could go on and on :-)

Liberty end of April

Liberty by the end of June has lightened up a lot.

Little Miss Sunshine with an overly friendly Sweet William.

Dang those squirrels, Laurie. Glad you saved your Liberty...good thing she's not a prima donna. I lost Andrew that way. Your Lemon Lime sure makes a statement in your bed and I didn't realize Lemon Frost is so floriferous. Here's is mine, still a youngster compared to yours. I will look for the flowers next summer.

Lemon Frost

So many beauties here.

zkathy your Lemon Ice practically leapt off the page and then Leapin' Lizard WOW. Then newhostaaddict with another example of LL. It is fantastic!

sunnywood what a great looking Linda Sue.

I planted 5 Lemon Lime around a stepping stone years ago and the stone is no longer visible except in spring. It is out of proportion to everything around it and looks a little odd in the overall scheme but I still love it. After all these years it still is a favorite.

Dave and irawon Lime Smoothie is lovely.

Sherry and all Little Treasure is one to be admired and had by all. I know I need it.

irawon such great placement of your Lemon Ice. I saw those red legs right away!

irawon and mbug Little Sunspot is very nice. Yours are growing well but my Little Aurora is so pitiful I hesitate to try a sport of, although certain sports can exceed their parentage. Do either of you grow Little Aurora?

Edited to add - Thanks irawon, I am such a slow typer, I was pecking as you were posting. Sorry about your Andrew, nasty squirrels!

Gorgeous pics sandyslopes.

Lizard Lick

I was at the Hosta Library trying to compare Lemon Ice with Little Miss Sunshine, so, sandyslopes, I'm glad that you and other posters (zkathy, newhostaaddict) together have both. I was wondering whether Lemon Ice has red scapes as well as red petioles like Little Miss Sunshine. My Lemon Ice doesn't get much sun, so it hasn't bloomed. None of the pictures in the Hosta Library show flowers for these 2 hostas.

Little Miss Sunshine, July 31

LMS earlier in the season in 2013

Mbug, that's a beautiful Love Pat...makes me want one. Is it similar to Abiqua Drinking Gourd? I have it already.

Loving all those Luna Moths, said last year I would get it and I didn't, maybe this year.

Lancifolia

Liberty

Lovely L's all. I especially like the stories and pics of Lancifolia. Mine came from my MIL several years ago. I've divided it many times and made a border of it. It has gotten lost in the ferns and ivy. I need to give it a special place again this year.

irawon....both Love Pat and ADG are tokudama hybrids....both cupped, rugose, with heavy substance..... ADG seems to have more pronounced cupping....I do want to add ADG but I have limited space left.

Must be that glorious Irish air 'cause that Liberty is huge and gorgeous! Ditto about Luna Moth - on the list and it's time to do something about it! ;-)

Jo, thanks for the info on Limey Lisa. I am going to have to get that one.

Mbug, what is the yellow next to your Love Pat? So pretty, great contrast between the two.

I can see that the L's are going to be very expensive. I need Little Miss Sunshine, and I am guessing we will all be hunting down Leapin Lizard. What an appropriate name!

And everyone has such nice pictures of Luna Moth. I picked that up in 2015, so I am hoping for great things this year. Thanks everyone for posting all your lovely pictures.

Limey Lisa got her picture taken so many times last year, you'd of thought she was prom queen! McTavish inspired me with a beautiful one a few years ago on the alphabet, maybe she'll show us what it looks like this year. Wish I had better pics of her flowering, but this is it.

I dug up Leaping Lizard because it was unhappy and didn't note where I moved it to. Last week after the snow melted, I was so inspired by y'alls pictures of High Society that I moved it and I'm afraid I put it on top of Leaping Lizard. Labels only work when you keep up with them.

Lemon Ice has kind of maroon legs, but is spectacular in the spring!

It's so warm since the miserable 1F-8inches of snow event we had recently, I told DH I'd have a daffodil bloom before the end of the week. Here it is, Jan 18, 2017. I guess I better get weeding. Not much of a winter reprieve here in the south.

Zkathy, that's just not fair!

This time of year I would love to get out and weed, am I crazy? By July I will be tired of weeding.

Daffodil??? On January 18th??? I'm moving!!! Lol. What a cheery sight, Kathy!

Peren.all, you are oh so right that the sport often is superior to the mother plant, especially if it has more green in the foliage. I don't have a Little Aurora, but have thought in the past that I would like to acquire one... it hasn't been readily available here, so maybe poor performance is an issue. This is my second LS but I think the first loss was my fault because of how I planted it with a dip in the soil. This second one is planted in the same spot but I made sure that there was better drainage.

Liberty is one heck of a hosta, as shown by your photos! It was the one that blew me away last year. You'd think I had photo edited the color! But I think Tiddisolo and I took our Liberty pictures at about the same time---during the time of the intense yellow border.

Then later. What a transformation.

From a different angle:

Now Lancifolia can't compare with Liberty, but last season I found a new appreciation for it. I decided to divide my very old clump into several divisions. I thought: how can we not appreciate a hosta that does not require much upkeep; I've never had much frost damage and forms a perfectly round neat shape! Here is one of the divisions potted up.

sending ALL of you a Like..great photography..plants blooming near hostas (or for sandyslopes up thru them) ground level shots (newhostalady) spring in January (zkathy..so jealous)..a good reminder to take more pictures..it's worth the trouble..so rewarding

I checked and winter is coming back, but it was 66F and sunny today, a great day in the garden! I wasted half of it running errands. Here's another pic of Limey Lisa blooming.
