    Light the match looks like a flame when it unfurls

    ps deb solberg just released it on his site.






    Give it plenty of shade so it doesnt bleach
    It likes to grow in a pot

    Laurie, I see your Lemon Lime is still trying to take over the world !

    Sherry

    Sherry your post was not showing when I posted. I adore Little Treasure and wish I had it. LTF is a cutie. Yes Sherry lol! It is encroaching on June behind it so I will need to curb it.

    Ann I am happy the brain flip was not just me! I do see your Little Wonder & Lancifolia. I don't mind seeing your beautiful yard to look for them.

    old_dirt I quite like that Little Sunspot

    Good day everyone! It has been so warm here, (40’s F) I am expecting to see stuff popping up! Unheard of in January! January is one of our cloudiest months……it’s so depressing……happy to see your beautiful hostas and gardens.

    Saija, so glad you have joined us…..your Liberty is lovely!

    Beth, you are right about Lancifolia—- it does grow anywhere! Love that Leading Lady (new to me) and Little Treasure is a favorite of mine…..I tried to buy it last summer, but it was sold out. 😝

    Hosta_maker, you are becoming quite the enabler! I have looked at LTM, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet. Your progression photos make it hard to resist!

    Sherrygirl, both of your Littles are cute!

    Peren, that Ladybug is also a cute one…..wish it was sun tolerant. I like Little Aurora and I see it is sun tolerant. It’s going on the list if I can find it. London Fog is to die for!

    NW, I also enjoy seeing your beautiful garden…..so full of trees….and I can see your Little Wonder! So cute!

    Old_dirt, also loving Little Sunspot….might look for that one too. Love Pat is a beauty ===> I can’t tell the difference between it and Abiqua Drinking Gourd…..is there one?

    Gary, I never heard of Larry Englerth! It’s a beauty……you must have been collecting hostas for awhile now as you seem to have a number of hostas, I have never heard of….

    very nice. I looked it up and se that it’s a Benedict hosta from 86. Very nice indeed.


    There are only 3 photos of it in the HL……consider sending a photo for posting.

    debra, received it as a gift from Ken. (I do have 900 plus cultivars that I play around with.)

    Debra I like LME. I like all the mice. I think Love Pat is bluer and a bit smaller the ADG. The Compare Hosta feature is not often wrong in their info but they are in the case of Love Pat. They say it is 14x16 but mine is 36-40" across. I did think the were similar enough that i did not feel the need to get ADG.

    Gary I agree with Debra.

    Wow, NW, you are getting organized! I am still hoping to do better with photos this year. Last season wasnt the best here, i lost interest with the nasty weather.

    Paula, that stair change is amazing! How does that happen!


    lancifolia. I've had it for so long, I just have to keep at least one plant!

    I love both mbug's and Shadow's Luna Moth pictures and am reminded why I keep putting it on my 'to grow' list each year. The color difference, is it due to time of year when the photo was taken or sun exposure? I would assume the yellower margins would either be older or in more sun.

    In my experience the color on Luna Moth is very stable shortly after the spring flush when it starts a little muted with less color contrast. Shadow's is either very early or growing in a lot of shadow (pun intended). Once upon a time I had a row of Luna Moths with more sun (and less root competition) towards the right side of the photo.

    My Luna Moth gets afternoon sun and is 7-8 yrs old. I also have a short growing season and think that is a major factor in the difference. My Hosta are still unfurling in mid June.
