    Twist of Lime in front, and the amazing Touch of Class on its right.
    Tongue Twister is one of the last hold-outs in autumn.

  • 8 years ago

    This is a streaked sport out of 'Fortunei Hyacynthina' that I call "Twisting In The Wind", the stable medio-variegated form I call "Twisting The Night Away".

    "Tousled Hair" is a seedling out of 'Hacksaw' and 'Ray of Hope' and is unique because of its flowering habit, it has fused flowers.

    'Tiki Torch' comes from Don Rawson.

    So twisted Paula! Not many T pics. steve duggins The King is a favorite of mine too, need to plant it.

    Teaspoon never got past budding - rotten deer.

    The High Life - a little beat up late season.

    no pics but I have Tiny Tears, Twilight and Tokudama Flavocircinals..isn't this clever?..

  • 8 years ago

    Such a lovely Teaspoon, peren! It is already ordered for spring, otherwise I would have done it now :-)

    Thanks Karin! Happy to know you have Teaspoon coming, you will be so pleased with it.

    Top of Mt. Fuji really caught my eye, I am always drawn to any montana. You have such a wonderful collection. So many of yours that I need to look up!


  • 8 years ago

    Laurie, in your photo its apparent that Teaspoon really is aptly named. I have one that was just planted last year... hope it fills out like yours... really pretty.

  • 8 years ago

    peren, the difference in hosta taste between our continents is interesting. I also have to look up hostas that are posted here because they are not sold in Europe.

    Top of Mt.Fuji was a cheap hosta, only 5 €, so I took it. It is so unknown that nobody seemed to buy it...But I also love the Montanas and the decision was made quickly.


  • 8 years ago

    Yay windy, you will love Teaspoon. It has a really good growth rate so you should have a nice sized plant in a season or two. If I remember correctly you like flower stems that go straight up. Here is a pic from last year for you and Karin.

    Tongue Twister

    Touch of Class #1

    Touch of Class #2 ...... getting Large w/lots of sun

  • 8 years ago

    Love those flowers, Laurie! And speaking of straight scapes... I was debating about a few of the larger plants with blue/green leaves and yellow margins... ie: Eclipse, Garden Treasure, Glory Hallelujah... and then I saw a picture of Abba Dabba Do. I think that's the one for me! Especially since it also tolerates a goodly amount of sun.

    Trying to get my list together for this year....

  • 8 years ago

    Holy growth hormones Batman, that's a huge Touch of Class, mbug!!! And WOW, what a perfect shot of Tenryu!!! I wish mine looked like THAT.

    Agree on Teaspoon, has to be in my top 5 all greens. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get one that isn't polluted with nematodes.

    A story behind this 'Thunderbolt'. This is the first uncommon hosta I bought, some 25-30 years ago. I didn't know squat about hosta back then, and planted it under a maple. It took many years to grow just a handful of eyes, until I moved it to a slightly better location, and then it grew to a medium-small plant. About 6 years ago I moved it to it's current location, and it just tooook ooooffff!

    Temptation, early June

    Tobacco Road, mid July, contrast gets better as the season goes on.

    Maria I am glad you posted Taurus. I lost mine and would replace it in a heartbeat.

    windy I looked up the others you mentioned. I am in so much trouble because I want them all but I agree Abba Dabba Do is fantastic. I need to plant mine.

    mbug you never fail to amaze! Soooo gorgeous!

    Steve that Tobacco Road is awesome! I just stared at it for a while. How many years in your garden? You just can't go wrong with any of Olga's intros.

    sunnywood, that Timeless Beauty is really good looking. I always like the blue with white hostas.

    I'm admiring the Thunderbolts. Mine dwindled away a long time ago.

  • 8 years ago

    peren, I'm pretty sure I got Tobacco Road mail-order in 2013. I was growing it in too much shade the first 2 years, then it took off once I moved it to dappled shade conditions. I'm too, am a fan of Olga's plants.

    Tears of Joy
    Tiny Tears
    Tokudama Flavocircinalis - one of my favourites
    Touch of Class - love the shade of blue

  • 8 years ago

    I have Twist of Lime but mine is no where near the size of any of yours. But maybe one day!

    Late last Summer, I purchased Tokudama Aureonebulosa and I can't wait to see it this season. Here it is when I got it in the mail in August.

  • 8 years ago

    Steve- Temptation is one I hadn’t seen or heard of... is it lutescent? I don’t see it on Don Rawson’s lists of either lutescent or viridescent plants.

  • 8 years ago

    windy, the center of Temptation does go green eventually. Some folks believe it, and Golden Meadows are the same plant. I also have GM, which goes green faster, but could be because it's in more sun.

  • 8 years ago

    Nothing new here, just 2 repeats.

    Tickle Me Pink

    The Razors Edge.

  • 8 years ago

    Two T's here, Twilight and Touch of Class. Both need some TLC and not picture worthy. :(

  • 8 years ago

    Steve - interesting! I looked up Golden Meadows and Temptation in the Hosta Library Comparison feature... they do look a lot alike, but it seems like GM has more ruffly-edged leaves. Could be just the individual plants that are there.... ? Anyway, both are beautiful, and your specimen of Temptation is really beautiful. Very tempting, I'd say!

  • 8 years ago

    Yes windy, I would say my GM leaves are more flouncy than Temptation's. They are both attention getters in spring-early summer, but then when they lose their center, they're kinda ho-hum.

  • 8 years ago

    Here are a few

    Sport from Dragon Tails

    In early May and late June. I find this a wonderful plant.

  • 8 years ago

    Newhostalady, Twist of Dwarf was already on my wishlist. Yours solidified that position. I love Titanium too. I'm not usually into the true blue hostas, but that's a beauty!

  • 8 years ago

    Thanks popmama. Twist of Dwarf is a cutey. Glad to hear it is on your wishlist! I think if I had had a photo of Titanium this last summer, you would have liked it even more. I remember looking at it last year amazed at how beautiful it was becoming.

  • 8 years ago

    Titanium is one of the first hostas I ordered for spring. Now I'm sure that I made no mistake. Very nice pale blue, reminds me a little of Flemish Sky.

    Tarheel Blue — might be bigger than medium


    Tequila Sunrise — emerging and about a week later


    Thunderbolt — one of my best


    Thunder boomer and his special friend. They’re an odd couple, but both seem very happy.


    T-Rex on the left. I was afraid when I saw that leaf on the ground, but it grew there to catch a little patch of sun that passes by.
