    Tough getting back to a work schedule, huh, Paula!

    Potomac Glory

    Should be really nice this year - if the landscapers don't step on it while it is emerging when applying mulch like last season.

    Edited because I forgot my Patriot

    Plantaginea- just planted, and she already bloomed.

    Lots of different P's already. I'd like to see that Potomac Glory this year (adds it to my list). Looks like it will be a beauty.

    Picasso - new last year.

    Pin Up emerging April 21 - this one has been great so far. Got it late 2016 and I just love the look of it last year.

    Paul's Glory, early spring

    Pineapple Upsidedown Cake, late spring, after hail #2

    Not much damage on this one. Either the Oak saved it or the leaves just bent so easily they didn't break.

    Pineapple Upside Down Cake
    Plantaginea..wonderful fragrance..no pics of Paul's Glory and Pearl Lake..a Phone cartoon..

  • 8 years ago

    I have 4 huge plants of Paul's Glory--it grows like a weed in my yard. I also have Popcorn, Pineapple Upside Down Cake and Pure Heart. I saw Powder Keg last year and would like to get one.

  • 8 years ago


    Yet another Patriot,

  • 8 years ago

    nicholsworth - can't wait until my plantaginea grows up to be that big! What a plant it is... I put it where it will have afternoon sun, to promote blooming... and unlike some of the more mature/supposedly sun-tolerant hostas near it, it didn't burn at all - even as a brand new baby.

  • 8 years ago

    windymess..mine are getting morning light and dappled light the rest of the day..heck everything in the yard gets dappled light lol..no full sun..my Plantaginea never burned..this pic was taken to determine ID..the blooms were fading..it was a gift from my sister..she's not a gardener..said "take this hosta - it'll do better at your house"..and it did..

  • 8 years ago

  • 8 years ago

    Paradise Glory my fav! They are all glorious!!

    Those Parisian Silks look almost fuzzy. How long do they hold up to the rains before losing the wax?

  • 8 years ago

    Not sure I can tell how long the wax stays, but my picture was taken in the middle of July.

  • 8 years ago

    Paradigm, would you believe five years old? Talk about sloooow!

    Paradise Sunshine

    Peacock Strut, like the purple legs.

    Pilgrim

    Praying Hands, was very nice three years ago but has steadily declined since.

    Prairie Moon in July

    Prairie Moon in May, wish it could stay this way.

  • 8 years ago

    My Parisian Silk pic was from June, and it does get some overhead water from a sprinkler. But I haven't been observant enough to be sure how long the blue lasts.

  • 8 years ago

    Paul's Glory

    Paradigm

    Patriot

    Plantaginea

    What pretty P's today! Here are my P's.
  • 8 years ago
    Sorry couldn't edit once I added pictures. Last post praying hands and planteginea. Below Patriot, Paradigm and Pandora's Box.
  • 8 years ago

    This is all increasing my wishlist. I'm gonna be in trouuuuuble!

    Pewterware

    Two views of Praying Hands

    Permanent Wave — another fav

    Proud Sentry — high in a tower guarding the mini bed

    Punky

    Oh, yes, the wish list has plumped up this alphabet!

  • 8 years ago

    I think Punky must be one of those under-rated hostas. I t looks great in every picture I see of it, and in person too. It's on my "one of these days" list.

    zkathy, judging by that pic of Permanent Wave, you have lots of room for a plumped list. He looks so lonely.

  • 8 years ago

    Prairie Sunset has become one of my favorites. It looks very similar if not identical to Prairie's Edge. I looked on the Library and they are both from Prairie Fire.

    Paradigm 2017

  • 8 years ago

    Yay, almosthooked- I was wondering where you were. Glad you’re still here participating. Aren’t you and McTavish neighbors?

  • 8 years ago

    Beautiful Paradigm, almosthooked!

  • 8 years ago

    Yes that Paradigm is beautiful and enormous like all of Faye's plants. Faye has a new sideline which is "The Cat Finder". Thanks' to her I'm getting a new baby next week. I'll post pictures when he arrives.
