mbug_gw like your promenade must get more sun then mine. it reverts easily. cut those solid eyes out to keep the streaks

So many beauties here!

Paula started off with Roy Klehm and then many of you added your pics. What a handsome boy and he seems do well for everyone.

Yes Jo, you absolutely need a RME for your collection! I still need to plant Rascal. You and Jill have shown all over again how gorgeous it is, I really do like the subtle ones. Regal Tot is a great looking plant!

Donna I hope our Rainforest Sunrise will look like all the beautiful specimens posted here. It might take a couple of years but it will be worth the wait for us.

sunnywood - Your Royal Flush looks very happy. You have so many nice ones but Reptilian, Rich Uncle and Riptide really stood out.

mctavish - Even if your Royal Flush fully reverted it would still makes a striking plant. Will you separate the reversion?

Karin - The red legs on Regal Rhubarb should make you smile too!

Beverly - Nice to see the flowers on Roy Klehm. Nasty rabbits.

Jill - I love that Radiant Star. Pleasantly surprised to see Chris Wilson (Hallson) credited for finding this one. I hope he pops in and sees how well you grow it. You obviously keep great records of your Hostas. I should, since I sometimes forget how long I have had plants in the ground.

hosta_maker & mbug - Great looking Regal Promenade(s). Krossa Regal has given us terrific sports.

mbug - Gorgeous as always! Love the....so I ate him! How long have you had your Regal Supreme?

Thank you all for the nice comments on Regal Splendor! It is about 12 years old.

Wow to all the Ripple Effect and Rhino Hide and every other Hosta posted! Phew I usually don't type this much.

Paula, I really like your Roy Klehm...he looks very lush. Here's mine...a price special that I haven't regretted. If I were guaranteed that a second one would look like yours, I would buy him in a second.

So many beautiful Regal Splendor's! How can anyone go wrong with that one? The photo that impressed me the most, although all were impressive, was peren.all's late season shot... compact, symmetrical clump that is structurally theatrical.

Here is the picture of my Regal Splendor

Rosedale Golden Goose loves the sun in my garden

Risky Business

I'm really enjoying the alphabet this year. So many great hostas from everyone!

Rainbow's End in May

Not quite a month later it turns a lot more white with some sun.

Regal Splendor

Risky Business

Rock Island Line in the center

Ripple Effect: I like the early springtime color the best

Sandy slopes, that's a beautiful Rainbow's End. I have two but not as beautiful as yours...guess I will have to wait. Your other hostas look great too.

So many beautiful Rainforest Sunrise's in so many gardens. What's not to like? Great substance and colour and vigour. Mine is in it's third spot and it now has the colour I want.

Rascal

And last but not least ROYAL STANDARD... what a workhorse in my gardens. I started with one in the 1970s, now have 10 gigantic clumps after giving away at least 10 or more divisions...very resilient...one division actually survived out of the ground over the winter.

Raspberry Sundae, 18 May, unfurling.

Some sexy red legs.

End of June.

Regal Splendor, new last spring.

Ringtail, new in '15, doing that weird thang.

Peren, Your RS is spectacularly huge and beautiful, just wow.

irawon and sandyslopes as always simply beautiful. Everyone who has posted Risky Business makes me wish I had planted it earlier.

mountainy man - Talk about beautiful, your Raspberry Sundae is the nicest specimen I have seen. Gorgeous pics showing those legs. I hope mine looks like that one of these years. Everyone says they are slow. How old is yours?

Can this be Royal Standard? It's one of my last NOIDs...

I don't know if this helps, but here's a flower bud from my Royal Standard this year. It looks different from yours.

Karen I don't know if this helps. One of my many Royal Standards in bloom last year

Irawon, love everything you said about Laurie's Regal Splendour because not only do I agree, I also think the same can be said about yours! Wow.

Mbug...I didn't know there was a third colour in Risky Business until you mentioned it! The crisp lines always make me linger longer to admire this hosta.

Karin, you need to get a Remember Me. ;-). It doesn't need much space but mine is still kind of young...did you see the last one posted? Wow!

So happy to see all the beautiful additional Rascals here. Love it.

Denis, those are fabulous red legs on your Raspberry Sundae! Lost mine, will adopt yours! ;-). Man, your hostas are looking great!

I promised Donna I would show her how my Raucous Ruffles is doing. Thanks for the enabling, Donna, I really like it.

Thanks for all the great pictures already posted! How about a seasonal progression of Restless Sea for some light entertainment?

This will be the third time I've tried to upload. The cat walked across the keyboard and deleted it. Then the computer had a funny turn. So third time lucky.

Robert Frost

Jo, when I first tried to post you had just asked your question. The margins turn white later in the season but the centre remains green.

Remember Me with it's glorious spring colouration.

Rosedale Richie Valens

Rosedale Blendmaster

Raspberry Sundae

Dave

Dave...I love your pictures! That Richie Valens is great!

zkathy, I will get Restless Sea soon. Nice idea to plant minis beneath it!

Regal Promenade is beautiful... Is it getting as big as Regal Splendor or Krossa Regal?

Jo, Remember Me is preordered now!

The list will be endless...

I got a little distracted here. Mama told me to mind my P's & Q's and don't ya know that's what I missed.

Beautiful R's all. I got a couple new ones last year but no pics yet, Rainbow's End and Raspberry Sundae. Hopefully they will come around.

Regal Splendor

Remember Me, looks like I'll have to take some out this year.

Revolution

Revolution reversion, I call it RevRev just for fun.

Risky Business, slow start

And here I thought R was winding down, Ha! What gorgeous hostas...as far as I am concerned, we could just live off the Alphabet!

Thanks, Dave! re RFrost. Sure wish I hadn't lost mine...didn't realize margins got so wide on this one. So lovely. Your RSundae is regally supreme! Big wow at those amazing leaves!

Big Dirt, that is one exquisite Remember Me.

Kathy, that Restless Sea was made for that barrel- these latest hostas with the ripples are driving me insane because I want them ALL. RRuffles begs to be stared at with those shades of colour. :-)

Karin, YES! And the order grows and grows....lol. You are the hosta mama of 2017!

Thanks Jo, you're very kind, I'm starting to crack this hosta lark lol.

Peren, Thank you, I got it in 2013 and from looking back through my photos was two eyes in 2014. I don't think it has been a slow grower for me even considering that I was not using the best potting mix back then and did not realise that they needed fert lol.

I have never seen a photo of a mature RS, even the new pics in the library are quite young, there is a big difference between the immature and mature leaves, the white centres seem to narrow and they develop a ripple and twist with the leaf tip curling under. It is a fun hosta and it will be interesting to see what it does into the future.

2014

2016

Karin, I had to cut a leaf off of Restless Sea to make a little window of sunshine available for the mini. I dug Dragon Tails up and gave it a new home so I could let RS do its thing this year.

Denis thank you for those progression pics, outstanding! Yours should be in the HL to show what a more mature RS looks like.

I love Hostas with movement and the ripple and twist on this one really delivers. Movement and red legs, such a winning combo!

Denis, this RS is gorgeous. You should really send some pictures to the HL. I haven't seen one with this curly tips and nice wavy leaves up to now. The leaves of my Green Acres also have that swing until they unfold completely. Thanks for sharing!

Can't locate the nicer photo but I forgot my Rosedale Golden Goose. Another example of what a difference a year and more makes. Not so attractive when young at end of season sale...

A year later, already displaying consistent rugosity and you can see the potential that a mature one might have.

Those two upper leaves at 11 and 1 o'clock are nice examples of goose eggs so far. Wonder how different it might look planted...hmmm.

So true Jo. It is sometimes difficult to see potential in young ones isn't it? Thank goodness for the alphabet, HL and books. Great looking plant! The Rosedale series in general seems grand.

Red Stilts on the left in a pot.

Beverly, were these attractive pots created by you? I think you took in some workshops last year, didn't you? Beautiful subjects displayed in that great photo!

Thank you Josephine. My husband and I had fun a couple of summers ago. We used the directions in a magazine.

Riptide

Wow, Don, what a beauty!

Don, that's a beauty: nice form, veining, ruffles...love it.

Noticed a couple of tiny Rascals planted up next to houses. Plan on moving it.....

Better later than never . . .

Rainbow's End

Regal Splendor

And my last photos are of Robert Frost which Jo purchased for me, and I am really enjoying it!

I am rather surprised to see that each of the Robert Frost's posted in this thread are very different from each other. Well, here's mine:

in May

in June

in July
