What a difference a week makes!

9 years ago

I just discovered this forum, and I am thoroughly enjoying all the gorgeous photos! I am in North Dakota, and spring is slow here. Trees aren't even completely leafed out yet. Most of my hostas came from my Mom, and were not labeled.

Here are some photos I took a week apart:

This is my Mom's favorite:

The enabling process has begun: I've purchased two new hostas this year.

and my newest addition, not yet planted (but looking for a place of honor), High Society:

Don't you just love this time of year when the unfurling happens? Pips to glorious hosta by the dozen. :)

They're beautiful.

Welcome to the Hosta Forum! And yes, most here are enablers.

Pretty pictures.

I have so much work to do in my yard, both in the flower gardens and the veggie garden (which hasn't even been planted yet). It's too cold and rainy to do anything, which is driving me nuts! Looking at other peoples' gardens passes the time, but makes the itch to dig and plant worse.

Miniskirt looks pretty! i just planted my flower pots and veggies this weekend. I really need to move some of my larger hostas now that they matured. It's on my Honeydo list!

The transformation in one week is amazing. Your Mini Skirt is cute. I have High Society and think you will love it too.

Those look great. All mine this year had just unfurled when they got demolished by hail. Some of them were planted from bare root this spring and were tiny. However, they are all putting on new growth and looking pretty good.
