    Nice plants . What is the secret to posting. I have tried four times with no success.

    Bill, I find that what works for me is to upload my photos to my idea books on my account page and post them from there.

    Beautiful hostas, pleasure to see them grow.

    I was debating on getting bigger sizes for instant gratification purpose vs enjoying something growing from tiny seedling... and find it rewarding for some cases.

    Love to see Delta Dawn, I lost it few years back and just got replacement. It has beauty that is hard to capture on film. My Hans is slower than Andrew... at least for now

    Yes, nicholsworth, I found it works for me even though it means extra steps.

    All your new babies look great! I had to move a couple of my new babies this spring, had to alter sun exposure.

    Wonderful plants as always! Your Delta Dawn is doing interesting things :-) I bought Hans last year and it is slow and small...

    I am amazed at how quickly Ulysses S. Grant grows--I bought a few crowns last year and it's more than double in size this year. On the other hand, I've had Steve Moldovan for 4 years and it's barely doubled in that time--anyone out there grow Steve? Here's my "giant" Ulysses.

    Nice to see your Ulysses doing so well, Miles. I think it is a wonderful hosta.

    Great looking plants Donna!

    Somewhat streaky looking Delta Dawn (Here's my little one)

    And Gemini Moon (it should get taller) that was dug for me at W & Gs a couple years ago with Luna Moth in front

    Since I am a Gemini it makes sense to have a Gemini Moon, right? Nice one, and colourful, Steve! (Donna’s GM must receive more shade judging by width of margins and softer colours...but that may also be an age factor? Donna? Steve? ). Luna Moth in front could double for a mini-me, lol. Also pretty.

    Donna, another bevy of beauties from your Island. Ul.S.Grant is majestic! Love Faithful heart with its thin but noticeable margin. Hans is stunning... slow as it may be. You must have purchased a hefty one to start with then? It looks great! You will always have Bruce Banyai near in that very special and sweet Twist of Lime. He sure is missed here. We would have seen a few lovely pictures by now of his terraced gardens and the monstrous-sized potted tropicals he would bring out each growing season...

    I never met Bruce but I made a comment on his post about his gorgeous garden and his giant tropicals..I'm sure that Twist of Lime will always be a special hosta to you Donna..

    PS..is anyone else getting multiple notifications?..you tap it, read a new comment then later another notification for the same comment..and then sometimes I don't get a notification at all!..this site has so many malfunctions..

    Steve, I'm thinking I do not have a Gemini Moon because the margins are so small. Wonder what it is?? And what is my Delta Dawn doing?? If I received the wrong plant I'm going to be angry for sure.

  • 8 years ago

    I don’t know what your DD is doing either, Donna....but I am loving it! It seems to have some streaking going on!

    Karen, The Dorothy Benedict awards has nominated Awakening Angel for the Award of Merit as an outstanding performer in the garden. Three cultivars will be picked. I hope she earns a spot. My photo has made it into the Hosta Library. Yeas!!

  • 8 years ago

    Mystery solved!!! I ordered Delta Dawn Supreme which has unique streaking features. :):)

  • 8 years ago

    Dang it Donna, Now I need to add a DDS to my list. (But thanks for the AA enabling - still loving it!)

    Gemini Moon does start out with narrower margins. Here's a pic of mine from last year. Even though I received a mature division in 2016, I suppose there's a bit of a setback from dividing it.

    Steve, I'll keep my eye on Gemini Moon for now and see what happens. I like your GM a lot. Spreading the love for AA!

  • 8 years ago

    Ok, then it's no wonder that my DD looks not at all like your wonderful plant :-) Got that Awakening Angel in spring and it is already a big plant. Nice pictures in the HL, hope mine will look like yours one day!

    Is this your picture Donna? I had a hard time finding it again, so I snuck a copy for myself. It's the one that tipped the scale for me as I added it to an existing order. (Apparently, I had looked it over and decided I didn't quite need it).

    Steve, I have three photos of AA in the Hosta Library. That is not my photo.
