The Easter Island statues are incredible. I watched a documentary on them a few years ago that focused on how they were "walked" to their positions with ropes and man power.

hosta_maker I do like a dusky purple petiole and the centre streak is very handsome.

You have to make a decided effort to not get seduced by the Blues.

Luv some good blues :-)

Hadspen Blue

Halcyon - I need to get this one out of there before it disappears.

Beautiful blues!!! I love the blues too!

Doug, that Montana with the purple petioles is stunning!

Peren, you have so many great ones… that Halcyon is soooo blue. Lovin Mystic Star, Indigo and my fav has got to be Silver Bay. What light conditions do you have that one in??

Old_dirt, we are definitely seduced by the blues, are we not??Your Blue Angel is very blue…..mine more often looks green. Hadspen Blue is so powdery blue! Love that!!

Deep Blue Sea

I love everyone’s blues ❤️..

some of my blues..Blue Angel..

Blue Mouse Ears..

Diamond Lake..I might plant this..I’d hate to think that keeping it in a pot could stunt it’s growth..

Pearl Lake..bottom left corner..

top left is Krossa Regal..Blue Mouse Ears next to a stone..opinions on the blue growing with 2 different ferns?..have tags for Halcyon, Hadspen Blue, Cadet Blue, Fragrant Blue..one of these?..

after looking at the blues photos again I don’t think my mystery hosta is Halcyon..

Elegans..blooming in the center..Krossa Regal (with holes Lol) bottom left corner..

I love Bressingham Blue and Blue Hawaii but no pics of either..🤦‍♀️

I can’t wait for summer..😀

Thanks folks.

a big question for me is would too much wax cover the blushing in the leaf.

old_dirt really nice Hadspen Blue!

Debra they are all beautiful but Prairie Sky is a standout along with Blueberry Muffins and Blue Hawaii! I went back over all my pics of Silver Bay. It gets sun all day except around 1:30 - 2:30. My soil is moisture retentive and I am on the edge of zone 4b so those are things to keep in mind with placement.

jocl17 very nice DBS.

Ann just lovely. Diamond Lake is a beauty. I think I would rule out Blue Cadet as your NOID. Might lean toward Fragrant Blue. If you could give close up pics of foliage & flowers as well as size it would help decide the ID.

Hosta_maker, that is an interesting question! But, I am certain you will figure that one out!

jocl17, the rippling on Deep Blue Sea is awesome!

Ann, Diamond Lake is a beauty and I would agree it’s time to plant it or put it in a bigger pot. I think your NOID isn’t Fragrant Blue…..compare to my pics above. To me the leaf shape and color are different….. I to me, comparing HL pics, it looks more like like Blue Cadet than Hadspen Blue. HB seems to have more puckered leaves. But I am no expert……. Lol

debra

Laurie and debra..thanks for your suggestions for my hosta..I’ll check the hosta library for contenders..I love it whatever it is 😀..

Some more Blue. Tried to find pictures of ones still holding the blue.

Ann, compare your NOID to mbug’s Blue Cadet…….. looks like a match…..

mbug all of yours look terrific!

debra

debra..I agree that my hosta looks like Blue Cadet 👍..I did check the hosta library..I was comparing Blue Cadet and Fragrant Blue..I never noticed fragrant blooms on my NOID blue..hard to tell from the pic but the NOID’s leaves are smaller than most of my blues..

mine does look like mbug’s Blue Cadet..and I have a tag for Blue Cadet..I think we figured it out!..thanks debra..

A few more Blue.
