Hosta W 2017

Well I slept in. I do feel better almost kicked this cold. Just do not make me laugh as I still cough. I hope no one else gets this. Thank you again everyone for nursing me along.

W. Double Us? or Double Vs? Apparently Double Us won. I would have voted for the Vs.

Lets see your winning W hostas today.

Oh I am on vacation for this week. Don't want to work anymore just want to retire. I will before December.

This was a photo of the Eclipse of the sun.

And finally : Why on a hosta forum does this forum always think hosta is misspelled? Just wondering..................

    Glad your feeling better and hope your cold doesn't linger. If I hurry with this post, I can be first! Guess I'm getting addicted to the alphabet now.

    My double V's (is it too late to change, and the Czechs do call it double-V) are still young and I didn't get any good pics. but I do like this young Warwick Comet:

    Sleeping in is good, upcoming retirement is good. The eclipse pic almost eclipsed the jokes. Glad you are feeling better!

    Warwick Comet - young but I am looking forward to getting it in the ground.

    ditto for Wave Runner.

    Glad to hear that you feel better, Paula. I hate to go to the doctor. Sitting around 3 hours with sick people always means I get something on top...

    I love my job but after 40 years of work I'm really looking forward to retirement...still 4-5 years to go...

    Winter Snow looks gorgeous, good that I ordered it a few weeks ago...too big for my garden :-) but maybe I can enjoy it as long as it fits into a pot...

    I love Warwick Comet!

    I got War Paint last summer and it was already green. I hope it will look better this spring otherwise I need a new one...

    Love on first sight...Waterslide...

    Whiskey Sour is so nice in spring...

    My W's don't do them justice, but I see some above that do!

    W. Comet-Sept, 12

    World Cup, so hard to capture this one's essence in a photo. Another Sept. pic, close to 30" tall.

    My DH's cough lasted 2 weeks after his cold seemed to be over. He said the same thing, "Don't make me laugh." And yeah, why does hosta get underlined as an incorrect word?

    Karin, I'm glad you showed Waterslide because I ordered it. I'm excited to get it!

    Nice W's everyone!

    Wheee!

    mbug - Wolverine looks wonderful in a pot. Old Dirt, yours is lovely as well.

  • 8 years ago

    Thank you mbug! You have such a beautifully grown and maintained collection. I was surprised to see What's That is a Halcyon sport, you are so lucky to have it. I read in the HL that it is OS only.

  • 8 years ago

    And finally Winter. Keep warm folks.

  • 8 years ago

    I'm really liking Wylde Green Cream, Woodland Elf, and World Cup. I do not need those on my Wishlist though!

    I have Wide Brim (just purchased last season) and Whirlwind. I bought Whirlwind several years ago and it has never done much for me. I moved it last Summer. Maybe it will be happier where I put it...which was? Where? Ha.

  • 8 years ago

    What wonderful W's. Here are mine:

    Whirlwind new this year, but by the end of the season lost most of it's varigation.

    I have Warwick Comet, Wolverine, Wheee! and Whirlwind. I really like Whiskey Sour, how long does it stay that nice chartreuse/yellow color?

    Hope you are over your cold now Paula.

    Only one photo of a W. for last summer. Unfortunately I took very few photos last season. I will have to make up for it this spring/summer.

    Wolverine

    And then on October 21st, 2017

    But once upon a time I had a very nice Wide Brim


    I bought it in the days before I went hosta crazy. Unfortunately it took me years to discover it was virused!

    So now I was thinking I will just move on and get something newer and "better" to replace it. But you all have shown me your beautiful Wide Brim's, and I have fallen in love again! So I have decided I've got to get a replacement!

  • 8 years ago

    newhostalady, that was indeed a very nice Wide Brim... How did you find out that it was virused (nothing stood out to me in these pics so I must be missing it)?

  • 8 years ago

    There were a few sunken areas like the one below. They can be easily missed. Photos sometimes help to "see" these.

  • 8 years ago

    Ah, thank you for sharing... I'll have to pay even closer attention then :(

    Water Slide


    Wings of a Prayer


    Wrinkle In Time on the left, Flash Forward on the right. Picked them up at a small nursery we passed on the way to the airport coming home from a MIL visit last summer. Here they are in my carry on under the seat. TSA had a bit of confusion over how to approve them. I think they ran them through the X-ray machine.

    zkathy..that's funny!..what a pain that the scapes were up lol..they'll bring back memories when you see them in your garden..how fun..
