utog..my experience is the same as yours if I use my old phone which is logged in through my browser..

Eastern swallowtail butterfly visited yesterday.

Rain all day tomorrow. The hostas are so excited.

More flowers for So Sweet

Unruly Child in flower, the wet look.

The beloved Royal Standard that gave me a scare this spring.

Montana aureomarginata mellows into lovely coloring.

Autumn is coming.

Weekends are so restorative. Here is humble Pewterware sending up a flower, amesthyst toad lily, syriacus hibiscus grown from seed from neighboring yard, and Mourning Dove.
Pewterware

Tricyrtis lasiocarpa

Hibiscus syriacus, which I grew from seed collected from a seed-pod from the neighbor's plant.

Mourning Dove

I love my garden.
Blooming liriope and fragrant hostas. Sigh of happiness.

Regal Splendor, Dark Star and Paul's Glory with ostrich fern and blooming liriope.

Yet another picture of Unruly Child in bloom. This hosta needs better pictures in the Plant Delights Nursery catalog and the Hosta Library. It is a gorgeous plant all season.

Stunning with all that blooming liriope!

@undertheoaksgardener7b, your garden is so wonderful to see. Keep posting pictures!

Utog, gorgeous as usual——ALL SUMMER LONG!! You should send some pictures off your Unruly Child to the HL. The link is right on the front page. Although not all pictures are added, if yours shows something different or in contrast to what’s posted, it could be added. I sent two photos of hostas I purchased from Land of the Giants that only have one photo each, Giantland Elegance and Giantland Blue Banana.

Thanks for the tip, Debra! I think people don’t realize how gorgeous Unruly Child is. I didn’t until I saw it in the nursery at PDN.

undertheoaksgardener..(less lazy today I typed your full name!)..my dream is to go to PDN..when you go how many hours do you look?..I think it would take me awhile..

NW, I always allow myself 2 hours at PDN, for shopping as well as Juniper Level Botanical Gardens stroll. It is my Disney.

utog (lazy again lol)..."It is my Disney"..I love it you made me smile..I have their catalogue..it's on my bucket list..

I have anemones too--unfortunately they try to take over whatever space they are located in. I have had to pull out lots of them. Liriope is simply gorgeous.

I got home with just enough time to wander the garden before supper. Although thunder rumbled in the distance, we did not get a storm this evening.
Hydrangea Shooting Star

Spartacus and friends with blooming liriope.

Heat Wave looking like the picture in all of the plant catalogs.

We are dying for rain here in Milwaukee. Looks like there’s none in the. Forecast anytime soon!! :-((

debra

Need rain here in the Cleveland area. The rain last week was good but we need so much more

Again, my water bill was 50% higher than normal last month. Worth it.

Today I repotted Beyond Glory. This plant was a beast 2 years ago when I bought it at Plant Delights. It took me about 2 hours to extract it from the planter pot 2 years ago; it was so root-bound that the roots stretched over 2 ft long. Unfortunately, last year a large branch fell on BG and split the plant in twain and broke the new pot in several large places. I am so over-worked that I never got past buying the replacement pot last year. Today, I finally repotted Beyond Glory! It was root bound again, but not extremely.

Good day
Tokudama aureonebulosa, a slow and steady grower that is gradually becoming photogenic in its 4th year.

World Cup in its second year, grown in a pot against all recommendations.

I am trying to feature Blue Perfection in this photo. Blue Perfection is 2 years old and grows like a weed. It is still blue-green on 8/23/2020 in central NC, and the second flush of leaves has just come in. It is not my bluest blue, but it is the strongest grower. Coast to Coast in the foreground, Autumn Moon behind it, and Royal Standard blooming on the left.

Comparison of Tootie Mae on the left and Tokudama flaviricirnalis on the right. TM is 1 year younger. I dug up Tootie Mae this year and will grow it in a pot for the next couple of years until it is root bound. Then I will try putting in the ground again. Tootie Mae is strikingly beautiful, but the slowest Tokudama I have.

Another look
Aspidistra Nagoya Stars.

My minis. Tiny Gems in foreground and Green Thumb (with my thumb) were about $30 each 2 years ago, but I have enjoyed them. Blue Mouse Ears on the right for perspective.

The liriope that insisted on growing in the middle of the flood path. I guess it knows what it is doing.

Tea Time, purchased from Hallson's last year. I love those apple-green margins. Tea Time is a sport of English Sunrise (similar to May), and is essentially a reverse of June.

Ok, so who is the cute pup in the photo, obviously not getting enough attention, lol. None of my dogs have every wanted to garden with me, I finally attracted a stray cat who walks around the garden with me and cries for food--naturally I go inside and get some dry food for it to the horror of my cat who watches through the window. I have been trying to find the Tokudama Aureonebulosa everywhere since I got the last one at W&G last year. Yours is gorgeous. LOG and NH hostas have it but LOG won't fill orders now and NH is out of stock so I will have to wait to order a couple next spring. Tootie May looks very nice, perhaps I will order one if I get some epimedium from Sebright. How long have you had it? since you are quite good at growing Tokudama, what kind of light, etc do you recommend for them?

Biscuit was obliging me with a seated pose in the hopes that I would throw her ball. She loves to be outside with me.

Tokudama aureonebulosa was my first purchase from Naylor in June 3 years ago. It came a 2 or 3 small-medium eyes. I shared some with my MIL 2 years ago, but she killed it. I grow it in Miracle grow potting mix in a large frost-resistant clay pot in part-sun (winter full-sun). It would be less brassy and have bigger leaves if grown in a bit less sun.

Tokudama flavicircinalis was from Hirts in June 2016. It is grown in a part-shade, cool, damp part of the garden at the up-hill edge of the delta of the dry-creek's flood plain. It has been grown in the ground (in a wire basket). It is a great plant.

Tootie Mae (LOTGH late season 2017, small) has been growing in essentially the same conditions as flaviricinalis, but has limped along. I think it has heaved from time to time. I think late season purchases have a harder first couple of years, maybe. I dug it up last month because it was going to get swallowed by its neighbors. I am hoping a couple of years in a pot may help. Tootie Mae is for sale at Hostas-store as Tootie May right now.

I am growing my Tokudamas in various conditions with similar good results, Tootie Mae aside. Tokudama and closely related plants like Solberg's Pea Pod and Sweet Sunshine seem to grow well in the ground here with topsoil and part-sun to part-shade. I have wondered if Tokudama lineage may suffer from bad press. I am glad I decided to try them for myself.

The overlooked ones. Luna Moth, young Sunshine Glory, Praying Hands, and School Mouse.

Niagara Falls, Janet next to Red Neck Lady fern, Dancing Queen all green, and Morning Star.

All looking good even this late in the season!

debra

Golden Meadows, Komodo Dragon, Pea Pod, and Royal Charmer.

Love that Golden Meadows!

debra

Good to see that your Royal Charmer looks like mine. I wonder if that irregular streaking will stay with time.

Another long day of work, but my garden awaited my return home.

Dream Queen on right, Dinner Mint in middle, and Coconut Custard next to Northern fern. Oh, and Tick Tock behind DQ.

Etched Glass

undertheoaksgardener..what a lovely welcome home!..my moment of happiness today - someone gave me a begonia grandis last year..a tiny piece fell off the clump and I planted it in a different location from the main plant..I noticed today that it's alive!..I'll take a pic..

my hardy begonia..if you catch it at the right moment the red undersides glow..I saw the glow yesterday 🙂 ..I also planted 3 small pieces by the main plant..one's gone but 2 survived..and here's my tiny one by the log..it looks much smaller in person than in this pic..all 3 leaves are torn but it's alive!..

Utog, I noticed your Church Mouse has slightly yellow edges. Mine is planted in quite a bit of sun and the edges went totally yellow. They are a bit burned now but even my hostas in a lot of shade are just browning and crumpling up.

debra

Debra, mine is School Mouse, which I think is a clever rebranding of Church Mouse. It never looks as variegated as the HostaLibrary pics. Oh, well. It is vigorous.

NW, hardy begonia is the best.

Home at last after a busy week. Autumn ferns are showing off.

undertheoaksgardener..love your ferns!..there's an Autumn fern near where I was working yesterday and mine had some pretty fronds too..I should take some pics..🌿

The remnants of hurricane Laura are rolling in now. Just wind gusts and some rain drops.
Photobombed by the dog again.

My dog looks at her ball like I look at my hostas.

This is what Abiqua Drinking Gourd looks like when grown in too much sun.

End of season sale from Crownsville/Bridgewood. Solomon's seal 'Red Legs' and Ligularia aureomaculata.

Hardy begonia for NW. Also, Solar Flare, Cyclamen hederfolium, and soon-to-bloom Sugar Plum.
Begonia 'Pink Teardrops'

Solar Flare is a great giant yellow hosta.

Hardy cyclamen hederfolium.

Sugar Plum will put on a show next month!

undertheoaksgardener..fun pics!..love your dog..some new plants?..love the foliage colors and textures!..and your beautiful begonia blooms!..I can't wait for mine to grow and bloom..some of my Autumn ferns..mine aren't as colorful as yours..#1..just green..there's a red Jack in the Pulpit seedhead..#2 some color..a wild hydrangea planted itself way too close to the fern..#3 the one by the Diamond Tiaras that I just planted..

Cool seed pod! Your ferns and hydrangeas look great. What is the tall green hosta?

utog..thanks!..Green Angel..most of it I put in a pot a few weeks ago..this small piece separated from the clump and I put it here..I love the wavy edges..

this is the rest of Green Angel in a pot..I saw a squirrel sitting in this pot today 😥..one of the stems has a crease but I'm leaving it for photosynthesis..I wonder if I filled a few pots with soil only (no plants) would the squirrels play in the soil and leave my plants alone?..

I have the same problem with the squirrels in my yard digging in my pots. So I covered the top of the soil with netting and rocks. Seems to work.

luvmychids..I haven't used netting but I've used pieces of stone..see some in the pot behind Green Angel?..Green Angel has stones too but in the pic the leaves are hiding them..the squirrel was sitting on a stone as if it was a beach towel Lol..stones do help with digging..but they still bite my pots and my plants..

See you in September!
Plantings over the drainage pipe.

The best hosta addition this year. Heat Wave has been perfect all season. Today is August 30!

Scrawny plant with big potential. Marilyn Monroe in its second year, with first flowers.

This plant was supposed to be Paradise Joyce, but it is clearly June. It has matched my June's coloring all season. I bought a replacement Paradise Joyce this season, and like June much better so far. PJ has been dingy blue all season and is just starting to show a hint of central lightening with very narrow margins. The plant below is beautiful and gets to stay forever...June.

Utog, I love my Paradise Joyce. She looks good all summer long.

debra

D, I look forward to my PJ looking like yours one day. Maybe it needs more time, or a colder growth zone.

Here are my 2 Paradise Joyce. The one on the left is the first one I got. I think it is June, as it matches June all season. The one on the right arrived about 2 months before this picture was taken. They are grown in the same area of the yard. Maybe next year my PJ will grow like Debra’s.
