    I can't believe we are already on V's



    Vally's Blue Curacao - new last year



    Ventricosa an oldie but a goodie



    Victory - still a baby

    Valley’s Lemon Squash mellows quickly to chartreuse in my zone. Not complaining, though, as it is very pretty.

    I love that Alpine Ibex pic, So awe inspiring. (And the jokes too. One of the few times I get the DW to look at the Hosta forum). She told me she had a dream the other night about me and my six mistresses. She woke up feeling pissed off. Then she told me they had names like Hosta, Daylilly etc. We had a laugh about it last night. I suppose I need to get her something really nice for Valentine's Day - any suggestions?

    Van's Baby in the middle surrounded by one of my seedlings, Tequila Sunrise and Quilting Bee on the far side.


    Viking Ship (more like Viking Dinghy right now).


    Vulcan and Victor (barely hanging on to the thin white line in the middle) in full sun.

    Velvet Moon- I really like how it brightens up this part of the garden.



    Victory

    Laurie- wowzers, what a beautiful Venetian Star. Love it!

    Thanks Shadow, ditto that on your Velvet Moon! I have one and can't wait to get it planted especially after seeing how beautifully it has done for you!

    Paula, the Ibex is cool—-the sign, what the heck? Haha! Thanks for keeping us laughing!

    Saija, nice Valleys Vanilla Sticks….I like the the leaf shape and color, so soft.

    Beth, absolutely beautiful Ventricosa! It may be the only one I have cared for to tell the truth!

    Utog, Valleys Lemon Squash is lovely with the lighting you showed it in.

    Old_dirt, your Venticosa AM is beautiful !! I seem to have this idea that I don’t like them, but I am wrong! Lol

    Steve, nice V Ruffle Shuffle….. I like that Ibex pic too, but wouldn’t have had the courage to take it——yikes!!!

    hosta_maker, the yellow hosta is beautiful but you are right….. the bell shaped flowers are stunning! BTW, any word on release of Bloodline???

    Peren, Venetian Star is huge…..didn’t know it grew that big and the flowers are so prolific!! Everything in your garden does so well….you must work very hard it……Well we all do, but you seem to have such a huge garden!

    Shadow, I like that Velvet Moon…. It’s not always easy to find hosta with a very light edge and a darker middle…..at least to my thinking.

    Steve, of course I am like hosta_maker, I thought “So Sweet” but that’s more for you (haha) and I am sure you have it….. so how about cooking her and you a couple of nice juicy steaks, I like Ribeye, but whatever’s your pleasure…… and maybe a lobster tail too, nice wine….. oh wait ==>>
    I think that’s what I want!!! lolololo

    I just have Vulcan. But for two years in a row it has sent up flower blooms twice, once at the regular time and again in September. It sits along the fence in almost total shade. Go figure….

    Debra- that would be nice - a nice juicy BBQ steak and cheese cake. Good idea! I will start to plant the seed in his head later on tonight. I make a pretty good homemade pizza and he does always compliment me when I make it. I think I will make that for him and cheese cake.( my favorite)

    i forgot about victory. your going to need some space for a mature clump of this.



  • 4 years ago

    Ventricosa aureomarginata marginata in early spring and early summer, and Virginia Reel in early, then mid-spring.

    Those alpine Ibex, do they ever fall off? Hope not! And I can't figure what the heavy plant crossing is about.

    There's a lot of great looking V hostas. ....I'm liking everyone's Vulcan's.

    old_dirt, I always like your Valerie's Vanity. Deep color, texture, and shine!

    steve, six of them! I'd wake up pissed off, too, lol. That's a new car, a trip somewhere, or something really big! But since it was a dream, maybe a day without mentioning anything to do with plants.

    Laurie, LUV your Venetian Star. Gives mine something to aspire to.

    My Venetian Star is a really good grower but has never flowered.


  • 4 years ago

    Only two for me, but based on the previous posts, I need a few more! Nice ones everyone!!


    Victory 6-4--21 ....my largest and it keeps growing. Great hosta.


    Victory .......another shot for perspective...don't have a picture, but the scapes grow as high as the fence top.


    Vulcan

    Lisa your VS is terrific! I think mine is a couple of years older if I remember correctly.

    just looking at the Alpine Ibex photo makes me nervous 😟..

    Very nice V's everyone..all of the Valley's varieties are special..for me Valley's Lemon Squash and Venetian Star are especially beautiful..

    I have Venusta..this is an old pic..May 27 2020..


    Venusta is the mini between the stone and the concrete planter..the tulip poplar and impatiens were volunteers..
