Pics! I’m dying to see this gigantic hosta.

I am anxiously awaiting pictures too.

Ok, this was one of those days that reminds you that you are getting older.

What a beauty!

n2 - you are so welcome! I'm so glad you took those from me... my neighbors and local friends may be done accepting my overflow hostas - they're not quite as hosta-crazy as we are ;) A little provenance on them - the big one was sold to me as Fragrant Queen from Northern Grown Perennials, and I believe they must have mixed it up with something else. The smaller one is one I inherited... and I don't know the name, but I do know it came from Rob Mortko's Made in the Shade - before he went out of business. So they are both from quality vendors and I have every reason to think they are healthy and disease free.

And I'm glad you had a good time at the sale. The sale was really successful again this year! It was scheduled for 9am - 1pm and people were lining up just after 8am... we opened a bit early, and by 10:30 it was VERY picked-over. We had lunch, cleaned up, and were out of there by 1. At the end there were just a few hostas left and a handful of the companion perennials (out of 800-900 plants). I came home with: Unruly Child, Katie Q, Stag's Leap, and a gift plant from our club president for helping with it all - Praying Hands. I also bought the last remaining Banana Boat carex. So I feel like I got some treasures as well. Of course, I needed another large one (Stag's Leap) like I need another hole in my head, but I'll squeeze it in somewhere.

It was great to meet you! Yes, we should definitely meet again.... and I hope to find time to divide my hosta June this summer - it's gotten huge and beautiful, but has a Halcyon reversion right in the middle. I may also have a few others by the end of the season.... so if you're still interested in adding to your garden later this summer maybe you'd like to have them. I like your picture above... I definitely feel the pain of all the garden work I've been doing lately too... but a little Free State helps, especially in the heat! LOL!

But I persevered like a Hosta Maniac on the quest for "that hosta."
