VERY YELLOW, VERY BLUE

9 years ago

Give me yellow, give me blue, give me hostas, one and two.

(Dancing Queen and Summer Squall)

What are your brightest yellows and best blues?

    This is Deep Blue Sea in front of Summer Squall. You may be right, but Deep Blue Sea was extremely late to rise and is still developing it blueness. The only other contender for bluest in my garden is Flemish Sky, or maybe Silver Bay, or Pewterware...

    Nothing's more yellow than Dancing Queen.

    Prairie Sky has been the bluest hosta I have.

    Brightest yellow definitely glad tidings

    and not the bluest but love the varigation and size over 5 feet across and gets too much sun (neighbors cut down 7 trees along property line) devil's advocate

    Because my bright yellows are still transitioning, the best I can come up with at this time is Krossa Regal and Marrakech - which happen to be growing together as luck would have it.

    Then I decided to go outside to see what else was brightening up....and I found more pairings! Since no yellow screams "I am the brightest" at the moment, (Dancing Queen still greenish) I thought I would post them as I can't decide which is the brightest yellow and bluest blue.

    Blue Mouse Ears and Hydon Sunset - under the watch of Brother Stefan and Ivory Queen

    An accidental pairing, Big Daddy and The Minnesota Mafia. The BD division is being removed and gifted...a baby division that leapt this year in leaf size.

    Sunpower is one of my favorites.

    I posted these yesterday, but they fit this post perfectly. Blue Hawaii and Limetini for me. I also love Dancing Queen!

    I've got quite a few gold and yellows but my blues don't stay blue too long.

    I can't decide which is the brightest but I think Stained Glass takes it by a hair ;)

    Sum and Substance - in the right light it just glows

    Fat Cat

    Sutter's Mill - - it was in the latest, and last batch from Naylor Creek - they sent some nice plants too

    Fire Island - it's a slug magnet


    Sunny Disposition

    Blue Mammoth with Stained Glass behind

    Halycon is the bluest by far

    Liberty has a pretty pale blue in the center

    This was supposed to be Elegans but I'm not sure

    All you guys have such beautiful hostas. Too many for me to comment on individually, I'd be here all night. lol

    I wish I had unlimited room because I see more I like all the time.

    For a nice, bright, and very uncommon yellow, I present:

    'Tiki Torch' from Don Rawson.

    Definately into blue.


    Hallelujah

    Blueberry muffin

    Purple Verticulated Elf

    Skylight x OP seedling

    The above together so you can see how blue PVE is compared to the others.

    Every blue deserves a gold.

    On Stage OP I just planted yesterday after ripping out some volunteers and leaving this blue volunteer. The larger gold is Golden Sculpture/Thunderbolt.

    Fort Knox OP with Halcyon.

    Goodness Gracious with Halcyon, Krossa Regal, Daybreak, Elegans.

    Key West and a young Blue Mammoth. Be an interesting mess someday.

    Paradigm/Blue Hawaii with Sun Power and Journey's End.

    Blue Angel and Stardust.

    Just a bunch of OPs tossed together to cover some ground. Sally and Bob in foreground.

    I'm addicted to yellows and blues. May this thread live forever!

    The yellow is Forbidden Fruit; the big blue-green is Elegans, with Halcyon and June (I think?) in the foreground.

    Ben Vernooij sharing a pot with an Elephant Ear. I had to decrease the pic's saturation...BV is super bright, but my phone's camera is a bit crazy too.

    Fire Island, Heat Wave, and Blue Mouse Ears.

    El Nino and Maui Buttercups, took the pic for the ferns thread but these guys are pretty blue and yellow right?

    Newbie here. What does op mean please? Thanks!

  • 9 years ago

    OP = open pollinated = bees

  • 9 years ago

    That's what I thought. Thanks Steve. Sounds like I will need to start planting seeds someday - after I get what I already have planted!

  • 9 years ago

    OMG...I can hardly stand it. These yellow ones are downright delicious!!

    I need to find that Minnesota Mafia!

    early on, my grand prize is vibrant
