Not sure which one this is..was given to me by a relative

Since I dont have many big hostas...here are some seedling close ups that I have growing!

M MW - nice seedlings! They look like streakers!

Steve Duggins - since you have both Cold Heart and Fog Light... which do you prefer and why?

I've never seen either of them in person, but the pictures are so alluring... with that amazing, mysterious color.

Star Power

The King

Windy, that's almost like asking me which one of my kids I love more. I've had Fog Light longer (since early 2017), so I've had more time to love it. I like the frosty leaf that can look anything from blue to green to yellow depending on the lighting and the rippled edges. I have a feeling Cold Heart (new in 2018) will perform in a similar fashion. I like how the Fog Light leaf is folded and cupped upwards and it has better substance. I also like how Cold Heart is more rounded and dome shape, but it does have a thinner leaf. I have two of each so I can play with their sun exposure. I did plant a pair near each other, so I can compare them better and I'll have a clearer opinion of them (and pics) later this year. If I had to choose one right now, I'd go with Fog Light.

Here's another picture of Cold Heart by The King and One Last Dance

Thanks Steve - interesting. I'd like to have one with that coloring some time... it may be next year because I think I've shot my budget for this year ; >) ... we'll see. The thicker leaves of Fog Light sound like a real advantage.

A few more.

I did not grow these, but I did take these pictures and with the lack of rules, I decided to post them anyway. These all looked pretty similar (and probably hard to grow) so showing them here together may be a good way to compare them(or not).

The speaker for our hosta club this spring is Mike Shadrack, and his topic is photography - getting the best pictures in our gardens. Maybe this will help me (I need help!)... . You all have shown some lovely pics of gorgeous plants!

Had to add a couple leaves with visitors
