    Your ideal growing conditions make me seriously want to move! I'm green with envy. They are all lovely.

    Lovely pictures, plants and combinations. I especially like the Fragrant Queen and Wylde Green Cream together. Seeing Antioch just makes me want to plant it with Sharp Dressed Man (neither of which I own).

    Mug, thanks for sharing your photos! The hostas are holding beautifully, aren't they? My favourite pic is the Blue Cadet trio - what a perfect shot! I have been taking photos too...it has rained here and a perfect opportunity to capture those glistening raindrops.

    Your photos, be they these current ones and past, of your beautiful hostas are the "ultra hosta catalogue" from which many of us are enabled. I would like your Luna Moth, your Risky Business, just to name a few. ;-). Makes me happy to see your Antioch. I have the sister to yours!

    Oh mbug! I love them all... want them all! Thanks for sharing and inspiring!

    Couple of questions: the cute little yellow near Warwick Comet? And the shiny, very dark blue/green near Antioch (again upper left corner)?

    Jo....thanks for the kind words. We all enable each other ......that's the great thing about this group. Antioch is a favorite of mine too....never disappoints!

    Thanks windy!....The yellow is Golden Prayers...great small yellow....comes up with bright golden hue, and keeps it all season. Great little hosta. Krossa Regal is peeking in ...upper left.

    Golden Prayers.....better look.

    Yes mbug there are not enough superlatives to describe how much you inspire! I know you say you only take pics of the ones that are looking good but it is really difficult to imagine any of yours as less than perfect.

    You are definitely doing something right! Let me change that statement: You are definitely doing everything right! Wonderful!

    Are these all in ground hostas?

    newhostalady......All the ones in these pictures are planted except Waterslide. It's new, and I've been moving it around trying to find the right spot. I do have some in pots.

  • 8 years ago

    Oooh. I love that Golden Prayers, too. I can't find it online or locally, though. Shucks.

    pinkdaisy - I, too, have searched for it. Then I did a little search here in the forum... for a little more info on GP. I found a thread where Ken and others discussed the confusion between GP and Little Aurora: thread

    So, they may not be the same... or maybe they are... I have no idea. But Little Aurora certainly looks like it. And, I found that it is available near me at Made in the Shade. So, I may have to add one. FWIW.

    Windy.....thanks for that info. Didn't see that thread but I'll do a search. They do look alike, and both have Golden Waffles genes.

    Plantain lily here, I have 2 next to each other and it looks like I will have to divide them this fall, I don't have many hostas but this little one handles the heat it gets in this spot very well.
