Ivory Cost.....posted one not long ago, but I really liked this new pic.

    Ditto what Karen said, that yellow peony is gorgeous! (Of course I love the hostas too!)

    Nice crisp clear photos of some fabulous hosta as always. No one needs to be indulged to view your pics, mbug.

    Thanks for sharing the photos today, they make me feel cool as in temperature. It was 97 here today, another hot one tomorrow. I really like your Ivory Coast, what a standout!

    Happy hostas/happy gardens = happy viewers! Kudos on growing the largest and healthiest Cherry Berry I have had the pleasure of admiring! I should have moved mine from the west side of the house where it is dry... where roaming cats like to visit... it’s gone now.

    mbug, beautiful pictures yet again. I just noticed that your Golden Prayers could pass as a younger sibling (smaller leaves but similar shape) to my The Minnesota Mafia! It looks like a vigorous, sturdy plant.

    It’s nice to see the potential of June Spirit - and hopefully how mine will look one day. How much sun exposure does yours get and how old is it? I am wondering if perhaps I should give mine more sun??

    Paradise Joyce has beautiful muted colours and I really like that side yard garden - it is very pretty with the peonies in bloom. (Can’t wait for my Going Bananas to bloom.)

    Stag’s leap is amazing, as is Ivory Coast and.... well, aren’t they all? Just like Don said! :D

    Wow... Your garden is so pretty! I love not only your choice of Hostas but also the way you arranged them! You have really good eye for that. This is still something I am trying to figure out for myself. How to place each one so they play off from one another.

    Very nice. I love LS midnight miss. Reminds me of LS black satin ( which is glacially slow for me. Is it vigorous?

    Jo...I hold my breath til CB pops up in the spring. It's still potted and will up pot in the fall. Not trusting it in ground yet. June Spirit gets a good dose of sun here, and handles it well. I'm going to checkout The Minnesota Mafia.

    Claudia....trust what you like. You'll find your own eye. I've made a lot of placement mistakes (size, color combos,location), but you can always move them.....I'll be moving a bunch in the fall or next spring.

    Michelle....enabling is what we all do best!

    Jim...LS MM has been steady....I wouldn't call it slow....more like its not in any hurry!

    I also have LS Black Mama which has been painfully slow.

    Thanks all!

    I like juxtaposing different shapes and colors. This is a good assortment, has plenty of POP!
