Hosta V 2023 .....................................

Good morning and welcome to V.






Yes, you will be singing this today.



Now this hot off the FB press ................. I love this Sphere. It is so neat to watch it change for a major advertisement. I knew it was big, but not this big. This guy must be crazy.

Show us some Vs for today.

    No problem having Bohemian Rhapsody stuck in my head. Beautiful Valley's! Such a nice clump of venusta Ann!


    Venetian Star. I took very few pics this year.


    venusta until I hear differently. Pieter?

    Lauri, I have no update on its identity but I will stick by my assertion that it's not as labeled.... I'll keep digging...

    Beth, I love your VBC…..where did you get it? Can we buy Valley’s hosta here in the states?

    Saija, of course I am envious of your Valley’S! Beautiful subtle coloring on all of them. I hope the V&V sporting eye comes up with the same color in spring! Wow, maybe a new hosta for us!

    Ann, that Venusta must be the one you weren’t pulling out…..lol. What a nice clump! Nice Ventricosa as well.

    Laurie, Venetian Star is a beauty…..so full and lovely blue/gray color.

    Old_dirt, very nice Vulcan and I really like the color and shine on Valerie’s Vanity———-I am not usually one for all green hostas, but sure like that one!

    my only V:

    Debra, I purchased Vally's Blue Curacao from the hosta store in 21. Hopefully they still carry it. It is slow growing but it is one of my favorites.

    How funny that it’s so easy to get a song stuck in your head!

    I’m reminded of how much I used to like my Victory!

    Old_dirt, every year I love how shiny your Valerie’s Vanity looks. The hosta library photos do not show this one as pretty as yours.

    Just one V today... Venetian Star

    Obviously my “V” Hosta was Vulcan…..lol

    Sandy Slopes I love the curled edges and its upright form on Venetian Sky.

    Only one V for me.


    Two of Virgina Reel. I got it confused with another hosta on my wish list and ended up buying two! By September they were drying up and looked awful. I hope they look better this year.

    Thanks Pieter

    old_dirt I always admire Valerie's Vanity.

    Nice Vulcan Debra.

    Gary Vermont Frost is really lovely.

    Yay Sherry! Happy you caught the flowers of Ventricosa.

    mbug love that Voices in the Wind!

    Lisa so glad Venetian Star made it through, it is doing really well.

    nhl VR looks very good to me.

    Laurie thanks for letting me know it's Venetian Star, not Sky. I just edited it. I get them mixed up because to me the blue Venetian should be Skies, but the white edged one is. I'm glad it made it through, too!

    Sandyslopes, I have done the unintentional double order thing at least twice, maybe more! Now I print out each order from each vendor, but then forget to look! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
