    I have two photos for L. Little Town Flirt and Little Treasure, both have been good growers.

    Saija, I've been enjoying your photos...your collection is really growing!

    Connie May, I'm going to be on the look-out for London Fog. It's a very unusual and eye-catching plant!

  • 7 years ago

    Looks like I got a lot of new Ls last year and many of them need to grow up a little, but here's what might be worth showing.

    Lemon Zinger


    Liberty (planted in late 2015)

    Lovely L's. Saija Lady Guinevere is quite nice. Sherry Little Treasure always gets me.

    Ladybug

    Lancifolia

    Lemon Frost will need to be moved so that it does not get completely buried.

    peren, I need a love button for your Lemon Lime! It is gorgeous :-)


  • 7 years ago

    Thanks Mae and yes I'm hostaholic, LOL

    Peren.all. Your Lemon Lime is amazing. You have so many mature hostas, lucky you.

  • 7 years ago

    Thanks Karin! It is such a great performer isn't it. Leather Sheen, longipes sparsa and especially Love Song are wonderful. Love Song looks so happy in it's pot!

    Beth your Liberty is lovely. Mine has had a tough life. After it was planted a squirrel dug it out of the ground and it could have been a couple of days before I noticed. I hope it takes a leap soon.

    sunnywood Leather and Lace is a gorgeous plant. Lederhosen always looks great every time I see it!

    There was such a lot added while I was posting.

  • 7 years ago

    Omg, Laurie, Lemon Lime is taking over the world!

    a couple of almost worthless pics but I want to play..there's a bunch of Lancifolia behind this Japanese maple..use Karin, Beth or peren's pics as a reference Lol..
    there's Little Wonders growing along the right edge of this sidewalk..I can see them since I know where to look..Karin has a great pic of Little Wonder haha..I had Little Treasure but it disappeared..

    Loving everyone's L's..Luna Moth catches my eye..I've always admired them..

    Saija..I was thinking the same thing that Mae said..your collection is growing!

    peren..Lemon Lime reminds me of flowing water..I like it..

    Laughing is wonderful..

    Luna Moth. Purchase inspired from the Alphabet.



    Liberty. Still a baby



    Love Pat


    Saiji- I have fallen in love with Lady Guinevere

    Sunnywood- Linda Sue has caught my attention as well.


    I agree that we should have more icon buttons that express our appreciation of all the gorgeous hosta that are being posted.

  • 7 years ago

    LOL Sherry! Lemon Lime is taking up a lot of real estate. I do need to rescue June from it but the colour and form of it makes me happy. It puts out a really nice display of flowers too (not so much in the horrible drought year we had) normally.

    nicholsworth you have enough room to have a nice little stream of it!

    Steve and Karin Lizard Lick is a very nice one!

    Mae your Lucky Mouse is so cute!

  • 7 years ago

    Sherrygirl and Sunnywood have some beautiful hostas, Little Town Flirt, Little treasure, Leather and Lace and Lederhosen are just beautiful!


    I have only few hostas in this category, Leather Sheen, dark green beauty..




    ..and Little Sunspot

    Paula, the kitties on the roof, how cute!


    ConnieMay, beautiful London Fog. Peren.all yours in spring is also impressive. I might want this one.


    Laura, nice Leather Sheen. I'd like to find a really dark hosta, just because I don't have one yet. :-)

    adding: Shadow and sunnywood, you've both managed to keep Loyalist alive. Good for you!


    Liberty in May ...I might have to move this one, which I am nervous to do since it might set it back, and it takes so long to get big... but so worth it!


    Liberty in July


    Little Miss Sunshine gets more yellow as the season goes on. This is mid-June.

    Lady Guinevere and Leading Lady just made the list.

    Great plants everyone.

    Again loads of L's in my collection but very few pic's.

    Note to self, must try to take more this year!

    By far and away my star in the collection.

    Liberty


    Love Song started to show it's true form last year with a couple of huge leaves.

    Not the best of pic's


    A very new Laser Game

    Beautiful hostas, everyone! Lemon Ice, still in the same pot, has turned into the beautiful Hosta that I see outside my kitchen window, which was my initial desire for having a Hosta garden.


  • 7 years ago

    a beautiful view Kathy!..I love the stone steps and the terraces..your Lemon Ice looks perfect..

  • 7 years ago

    Just a few old L's. I think i need a Liberty!

    Love Pat


    Little Sunspot


    Lancifolia

  • 7 years ago

    Thanks mbug. Your Luna Moth is fantastic!

    So many more gorgeous Liberty's!

    Barb your Lemontini looks luscious!

    kathy Lemon Ice is such a bright spot in your great looking garden!

  • 7 years ago

    Only one L for me. Liberty. It takes a few years to bring out its beauty, but when it does----wow! Love everyone's Liberty's!

    mid May

    July

    August

    I love this hosta so I decided to purchase a second one for "backup." Unfortunately it rotted. I plan to purchase another!

  • 7 years ago

    NHL....stunning Liberty!

  • 7 years ago

    Newhostalady, not only is your liberty stunning but your garden is meticulous!

  • 7 years ago

    newhostalady..I love your Liberty!..I completely agree with oursteelers - your garden is meticulous :-)

  • 7 years ago

    Yes and yes on both counts!

  • 7 years ago

    Dave and NHL, your Liberty's are so perfect looking ! ! ! Awesome!

    Nicholsworth, I know I've said before...I love how your Bloodgood maples, with their sparse shady growth, add such a nice photogenic splash of color around your house. Looks perfect!

    Beautiful 'Lemon Ice' zkathy. Mine always seems to get fried in the hot spring sun, before the trees leaf out. It never looks nice, so the only pic I have is this one from 2014, when it looked it's best.

    Lemon Ice

  • 7 years ago


    newhostalady, what a perfect Liberty specimen! Gorgeous.

  • 7 years ago

    thanks StevePA!..any space where the house casts shade to move Lemon Ice?..just a thought..

  • 7 years ago

    Really, StevePA, put an umbrella over it! I moved Lemon Ice to the shade of the house until the leaves came out then it lived under the crabapple tree outside my kitchen window all season. It does green up some, but stays nice all season.

  • 7 years ago

    Sorry 'Lemon Ice', you're not special enough to get one of the few, prime, spots on my property. You're a pretty vigorous grower though, so I could put you in a shadier spot, I suppose.

  • 7 years ago

    Nice Ls everyone! These are the only L pics I have, although I do have a few additional Ls.

    peren- is that just one Lemon Lime or a grouping?

    Beautiful Liberties... if mine doesn’t start to look a little better this year, I might have to start over.

    windymess I originally planted 5 small 1 gallon pots many years ago and have done nothing to them since.

  • 7 years ago

    peren- thanks, that’s good to know because I have a bunch of them planted along a path, and I do want them to grow together and fill in, but if that had been one single plant I was going to to get nervous...lol, a bit like when I ordered clausa var. clausa... then realized it was going to be waaaay too much for the space. I gave that clausa to my neighbor, who has a large, shady area that needs fillIng.

    I realize though I’ll probably have to keep the LLs in check at some point, but that’s a long way off.

  • 7 years ago

    It will be beautiful along your path! I will look forward to seeing the result over the years.

    Lol I can understand clausa var. clausa not being for everyone. I love it but it does spread - endlessly. At least you can still enjoy it from a distance. Do you have visitation rights? The flowers are quite fantastic and the fall foliage colour is really nice too.

  • 7 years ago

    Oh yes, I can visit anytime... it’s right next door and we’re all good friends. I’m sure I can even get a bit back if I ever want some. I do love it in bloom!
