Sea Sunrise

I can see why you could not resist Sun and Shadow! Hope you didn't spend it all.

In fact, I bought 14 hostas and spent 149€.

This is what my little car looked like... I never buy a mouse, I always choose the big ones. They didn't like the car trip afterwards very much, Robert Frost actually seems to be offended. I'll have to be good to him.

Looks like fun!

Obscene Gesture... No, thank you.

Thanks for looking!

I'd have a hard time choosing, so much to pick from.

Sherry

Wow! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful trip, Cicely, I hope to make it someday ...Please show your new ones when they have recovered from their journey :-)

rather easy shading of the sales area ... go figure ...

I love "Happy Mouse". Need it!

Here are the plants I bought.

Tropical Dancer - didn't take it last year but could not forget about it.

Nice big plants! I got One Last Dance last week and I really do like it. Tropical Dancer is also a beauty, I think I will get it from Renaat in fall...

Wow, nice haul! Thanks for sharing your trip with us - looks like fun.

I have to keep telling myself while looking at pictures now, there is no more room, there is no more room. lol

Secret Ambition... ooh la la!

Cicely, thank you for the tour! You sure handpicked some beautiful hostas - that leaf shot of The King is amazing! It will be fun watching them grow - hope you take lots of progression shots of them to share ;-).

What a lot of temptation in one place. That's a great picture of them all stuffed into the back of your car! Serious hosta lover on board, lol.

Serious envy here, have been coveting Bullfrog and Alley Oop. So many beautiful hostas. It must have been hard to select your fourteen favorites.

Eskimo Pie has been one of my problem children. Didn't die, but never got any bigger. I put it in a grow bag a couple years ago, and it's finally taking off. Still smaller than your plant, though.

A picture perfect way to identify a Hosta lover is your car trunk full of hostas photo, that's a classic.

Thanks for sharing all these beauties and I particularly liked Love Tropical Dancer and The King.

Plus, loved the funny commentary on the hosta named... Obscene Gesture. :P :)

Thank you all. I've put most of them in pots now and will keep you informed about their progression.

Josephine, I got The Queen last year and The King now. They're such a pretty pair...

Madplanter, this Eskimo Pie has two divisions, was 7€ and seems to be growing well. I've read it's supposed to be quite slow.

Van den Top is a hosta dreamworld! It would be "dangerous" to have a place such as van den Top's only 60 miles away! And the prices seem to be reasonable too. What more could one ask for? You made very good choices! A car full of beautiful hosta is a sight to behold! Thanks for sharing! (The King and The Queen are beautiful!)
