Ditto that sandyslopes!

Jo - No mama p but I have p. 'Venus'. I let her get surrounded by Ruta g. so she was not getting enough sun. I will clean up around her and she should be much happier.

Prairie ' s Edge new in 2016 ..... a nice one

Pure Heart .... nice little guy

Purple Heart .....been slow for me

All done. Thanks for looking!

Holy Mole, what a whole lot of impressive P's! All the Patriot's, Praying Hands, and Paul's Glory's look wonderful...I like seeing how they're incorporated into everyone's landscapes. Delaware Donna, I'm taking lessons from your pictures on how to incorporate the white edged ones.

My first PH is still small but my second, I bought as a larger specimen... seems to be holding steady. Karin, love your shot of the swirls and margin of PH. Peren.all, I'm really liking the way you've set yours off ... still trying to figure out why I like it so much.

Saiga, that's a beautifully grown Pilgrim. I've had mine since 2008, moved it once...it's doing better now but doesn't equal yours.

Sunny wood, love your Peppermint Ice. Mine is really small still and doesn't have the deep green of yours. How much sun does yours get?

Think I need a Pistache, Proud Sentry, Pineapple Punch and Paradise Backstage...way to go... Jo, zkathy, sandy slopes and McTavish...the enablers.

A lot of pizzazz going on with your P's, Mbug. Wow! Proud to enable you, Irawon! ;-)

Mbug, beautiful P's. Parky's Prize, Paradise Sunshine and Prairie's Edge are new to me...very nice.

Prairie Moon... love the pale yellow...growing in a spin-out bag in my yard. Karin...thanks for the good close-up in your post. The little yellow one on the right is an OP seedling.

Pandora's Box...sorry a bit out of focus. I have several Cherish in the vicinity and am struck by the similarity. What say ye, Jo???

Pixie Vamp... top left

Parhelion. I had no idea, it would become such a monster..didn't know it was a Sum and Substance offspring when I bought it.. I've since relocated Lakeside Paisley Print.

Paradise Joyce...love the subtle colourPewterware. Paradigm (top left). Country Mouse (bottom left)...not a mouse but a sport of Bill Dress's Blue (see sunnywood's B's).

Prairie Sky has been slow near a tree trunk. I've had mine since 2011. What about you, sandyslopes? Yours is a beautiful blue.

Paradise Glory, a sport of Paul's Glory. Love it as well as St. Paul another PG sport.

Pocketful of Sunshine...one year old. Sport of Rainforest Sunrise.

Punky. What a name for such a great hosta! Can't remember why I bought it but don't regret it.

Barb, I love that small yellow creeping thing with your Paul's Glory. I put it together in a high pot with Praying Hands and was happy with the result.

I do not remember the name, but I hope I will get some more at the local garden shop for ground cover between the hostas.

irawon, your Prairie Sky is also nice. I've had mine since 2013 and, like yours, it's next to a tree, but not as close to the roots as yours looks. It's on the shady side of a Cottonwood so that helps keep it that pretty blue color. Pineapple Punch is worth having with those wavy leaves edged in yellow. Happy to enable!

mbug, if I knew a Pizzazz would look like that for me, I'd get it in a heartbeat! Yours is gorgeous.

Irawon, from a distance Pandora's Box and Cherish don't look that different from each other but my Cherish seems to retain some of its yellow/creamy centre and its leaves are just a tad smaller. PP's center is white. I can't recall anything else at the moment...

Dedez, love Paul's Glory shot and the two Pizzazz eyes are perfection!

So many more beautiful 'P' Hostas have been added. Jo, the Philadelphia is a sport of Popcorn. It surprised me how large it became - a great plant.

Here are a few more of my 'P' plants.

A Pair of 'P's - Powder Blue and Prairie Fire

I hate pictures of myself but this really shows the size of these two giants. I am standing on a path that is now virtually useless. These are Piedmont Gold and Hoosier Dome

McTavish, I can only dream of mine reaching that size. Absolutely fantastic.

Paul's Glory was the start of my fascination with these wonderful plants.

I have divided it several times

Jill, you have not only so many P's but they are all absolutely beautiful! Stunning in fact. I am crazy about anything powder blue and could rave on about each and every one of your hostas pictured here...but will make special mention about Parky's Prize as the colours and shape and size of that plant just got me pausing to stare at it longer. Wow! The streaker is gorgeous too. None of your hostas are chewed by slugs - they show beautifully. I am bowled over. So glad you joined us. I am sorry you have been suffering with the flu and hope you'll be 100% ASAP. :-)

Here is a couple more P's

Paul's Glory, I love how this Hosta looks so different in varying light levels.

jo,,,thanks for the well wishes,,,i am slowly on the mend,,,i hope,,,2 steps forward and 1 step back,,,achy bones and headache is the worst,,,,don't envy those who get migraines,,,my new hat is an icepack,,,

and i just want you to know that i DO have slugs,,,i just am really vigilant with the Sluggo early in the spring and continue a sprinkle every couple of weeks,,,i did also use Sluggo Plus which helped with the earwig damage i got in previous years,,,but i use that sparingly as we do have kitties and pugs and chickens running the yard,,,When they are REALLY BAD,,,,i go out with the spray,,,,

Parky's Prize is one of my favorites,,,glad you like it,,,

jill

Mae: your Pocketful of Sunshine is awesome, I want one :)

Jill, I understand migraines :( I wondered if you used anything as I, too, have been using slug repellant pellets for a few years now to keep my hostas protected. Well worth the effort. Your sense of humour with reference to your new hat...lol!! :-)!

Saija, Thanks! Round-leaved hostas are irresistible....you can't have just one.

Kind of late but had to throw in my Praying Hands.

Who's the patron saint of gardening, Jerry? I can't make out the name.

That is St. Fiacre, I have three statues of him (my gardening needs all the help it can get). Also a lesser known was St. Dorothy patron (ess)? St of gardening of which I have a plaque. There are a couple more significant to gardening which I hope to find someday.

St.Gertrude of Nivelles is also a garden saint or the old goddess Freya.

I found it interesting that you, peren.all, said that Powder Blue was a favorite. I remember being at a garden nursery two years ago and noticing a flat of very large, blue hosta that had just come in. It was Powder Blue. I hadn't heard of it before so I didn't purchase it. But when you say it is a favorite, then that must be one reason you love it---the color. It was striking. And yours is beautiful!

Your Pizzazz is beautiful mbug and Jill!

Myrle, thanks for allowing us to see your Piedmont Gold and Hoosier Dome. They are fantastic.

Hey Dave, I see you have three Paul Glory's. Can I say great minds think alike---I have three as well!

This poor Paradigm has been tucked away in a corner for three years. I'm going to put it front and center this coming year!

Gave me a good laugh at 4:30 in the morning. Guess I need to wake up a little more before I start catching up on the alphabet. Need more coffee..........

Prairie Sky

Jamie, LOL back at you! Hilarious! ... to end my quote when you did! Another their night owl, huh? ;-)

Don, glad you are posting your beauties...you have some catching up to do ;-)

newhostalady Thank you! What a shame you did not get Powder Blue because we all know you would grow it to perfection.

Yes, the color is striking and here at least holds it very well late into the season, but apart from that it has great form, is heavily corrugated and the scapes are held just above the foliage. All features I am really fond of, definitely a favorite! Mine gets sun until at least 1:00 pm.

So, if you saw it again do you think you might be tempted get it?

I have never been certain - is this Patriot behind Orange Marmalade? It came with the house.

Hmm, could be Patriot, but another possibility could be Minuteman. It looks happy whatever it is.

Peren.all, I agree that it is a shame I did not get the Powder Blue when I saw it! You mention that it is heavily corrugated, has great coloring, holds well into the season and the color is striking! That is definitely a winner! "So, if you saw it again do you think you might be tempted get it?" Absolutely! And by the way, I can't say I would grow mine to perfection, but you are certainly doing a wonderful job with your hostas!

Don - your Prairie Sky is beautiful... and looks like it has grown! I hope mine comes back strong this year. I took it out of the pot and put it into the ground, where it got a little more sun than it was used to, so it greened up quite a bit.

I would have to just "like" every photo in all these alphabet threads.... I'm inspired and really excited for spring.

And the list gets longer and longer.
