i agree, Paula, any Hosta can be a mini!

Here are a couple of my mini's

Blue Mouse Ears

Bitsy Gold, taking it's time to get growing. Maybe I will try it in a pot this year.

Pandora's Box

Pandora’s Box was growing in a pot. A squirrel uprooted the whole plant, this piece I decided to try in the garden, the slugs ignored it!

Paula that Pink Floyd really got me!

We always have room for 1 more mini or 10 or...

Love the Mini Skirt's. Sherry Surfer Girl, Dragon Tails & LT are so cute. Kathy Little Devil is right up my alley.

Thank you Karin, saija & sunnywood!

Karin as usual I had to look up some of yours. Cotillion and Sitting Pretty are very cute, not a lot of info on Harry van Trier. According to the HL Lemon Frost and Iced Lemon are identical so it will be really interesting to see them over time.

sunnywood well of course you had to have Bill Dress's Blue! Apart from being your namesake it is really good looking. I did not know Country Mouse was a sport of it. Tears of Joy is adorable. I think most of us started with medium to large, Stiletto was my first mini.

garyz that is quite a collection!

I don’t have many minis, and not good individual pics of the few I have. ThIs one, to the right of Lakeside Cupcake, is a NOID. It has quite noticeable paler margins in spring; they become greener later.

Does this look familiar to anyone?

love everyone's pics!..such big collections of minis..I have Blue Mouse Ears, Gold Drop, Golden Tiara, Little Wonder, Tiny Tears and Venusta..a Blue Mouse Ears that had heaved and was replanted..it fell apart..now I have several really small ones..

Allan P MacConnell (?) I am just questioning the ID. So feel free to let me know. Thanks

BME

I have some shy mini's, they're kinda hiding behind stuff.

sherrygirl, such perfect, clean minis!

I love your garden shots perren, such an awesome place you have!

Karin, your pip shots, and emerging shots are so delicious.

apologies, had a few beers tonight, celebrating the high 70's we had today, while realizing it really is NOT what I want for February weather.

StevePA..I like that big one on the left in back..is it one of these?..Empress Wu?..Tyrannosaurus Rex?..Blue Angel?..Big Daddy?..Elegans?..can you tell that I don't know..

That would be Eola Sapphire, one I've had for many years I bought at a hardware store's nursery dept. Just under 3 feet tall.

Thanks Paula for keeping it going!

I've been looking forward to the mini's. I hope to create a new "thingy" with mini's and wanted to see various ones from everyone. Thanks for all the enabling. I do have a few here.

old _dirt..Blue Mouse Ears looks great in that unique "pot"..

No doubt about it, I have to get a Curly Fries! So many lovely photos here! Love theses minis.

Sherry

mctavish9..great pics..I recently checked out the "little hostas" book..the pics were great..minis are just adorable..

mctavish, you know I gotta ask...what is that blue beauty in the middle of your first pic (not a mini)? Love all of these! Maybe my mini collection will need to grow a bit...

There is always room for a mini hosta - or 17.

mctavish, great combinations! I will get a lot of small ones and minis this year and hope I will be able to make a few nice arrangements as well.

beverly, I always thought Pandora's box is hard to grow? That's an unbelievable patch you got! 17! I could not find one here so I took Cameo instead...

I love the minis. I owe my entire obsession to dhaven. And now it's on! I have a few and am trying to mix them in with larger hostas as well. Last year, I wanted soe of my minis to stand out from their friends, so I created a raised area for them. I'm looking forward to them filling in this season.

Two of my favorites are Baby Bunting and Cherish. But I love them all and have quite a few still on my wish list.

I got this BME and friend in one pot at a garden center last Summer. I divided the blue from the other one and planted them separately.

I have the Little Hosta Book. It's really wonderful. So is Carolyn's Shade Garden website.

mbug, what beautiful photos of your minis!

Extroverted Introvert, The blue in my first picture is Winfield Blue. It's been a good grower for me.

I'm glad you folks have kept these pictures going. It is keeping me focused on the fact that it will stop snowing sometime in my life. There are many things I want to do in the garden this year - taking more pictures is one of them.

Barb, I love love your Baby Bunting!

papamama, thanks. I'm always worried Baby Bunting isn't coming back in the spring because I think it is a late bloomer or pipper.

oops, that should have been popmama :)

Barb, that’s funny because Baby Bunting is one of my earliest risers, also one of the first ones down in the fall. I’ll look tomorrow and see what it’s doing this year.
