Hosta G 2024 .. . . ... . ... . . ....

last year

Could you have a spider monkey as a pet?

I am happy the wind died down. I have a nice and toasty 46* in the green house. I am happy with that but, just in case, I have the heat lamps in and on the ready. How is winter treating you?


Post some Gs today and let's have a snow party. You can keep the snow!

    Saija..your Gold Standard is much prettier than mine..yours has a variety of leaves too..

    maybe Gold Standard is a more unstable hosta than most..

  • last year

    Omg Paula!

    Such a nice GE Ann! I think your GS is doing well.

    Saija I really like Gingee and what a lovely GP!



    Gemstone early & late season.

    Laurie..my GE is certainly better looking than my GS!..it's good to know sporting/reverting GS leaves happen to others too..

    your Gold Drop is larger than mine..but I still love mine!..

    I love your Goober blooms..

    I found a photo with one of my many Golden Tiaras..see it at the bottom of the photo?..

    May 5 2023..


    all of my G's are represented now 👍..

    Ann Gold Drop is wonderful at any size! Thanks, I think Goober has some of the best flowers ever. That is a beautiful GT, must get mine planted!

    Hello everyone, no snow here at my house! 👏🏽 But nighttime temperatures have been in the teens F.

    Ann, that is a terrific GE. I bought one years ago and it didn’t survive……I agree with Laurie, your GS looks good!

    Saija all your hostas look great, but I really love Gingee (what a beautiful color!) Also an outstanding Gunther’s Prize! Have you submitted the photo to the HL?

    Laurie, your Gemstone is the reason I bought one…..nuff said. Also hope my Glad Rags looks like yours someday. One more, Gold Drop, the flowers are so prolific!

    Now I transfer over to the hosta forum to post my pictures!

    Thank you Debra! I know you will never regret getting Gemstone. Your GR is looking very good! GL BB is really special.

    Mike so many beauties. Georgia Sweetheart & Golden Meadows are real standouts! I really must find room for Ghost Spirit & Guardian Angel. I have been holding them for years. So many plants and so little space to fit them all in.

  • last year

    Guacamole the only one left from before. This plant has its own tree, palm tree and now a new pine tree. Also a few others what is called here 'Flowering Onions'.



  • last year

    debra..my GS is old too!..I love upright/vase shaped hosta..I'd go for your GL Elegance..

    mbug..thanks!..the centers of your Golden Meadows remind me of my Great Expectations..I wish my Japanese Painted ferns were as lush as yours (pictured below Golden Prayers)..your Gold Standard has leaves that vary too!..I never noticed GS grew this way..

    it's not a close up but I can see my GS through the stems of this elephant ear..see it to the left of the tallest elephant ear leaf?..

    you people have given me a new appreciation for it..this photo was taken last summer..the pic in the other comment is older..I'm looking forward to seeing it again..I want to see how it looks this year..😀

    Paula - My parents and one brother had a spider monkey as a pet. After they got older, they both got mean and nasty.

    Great Expectations - One slow grower


    Golden Tiara


    Gold Standard - Looks like a little lunch for some critter


    Gold Regal - Much lighter early in the year


    Green Gold - Noah's Rainbow reverted


    Gold Edger/Gold Drop - Comparing in HL and the data base, I don't see any appreciable difference. Under info in the data base, they both state white & lavendar flowers.

    Guacamole - Remember Guacamole Don from Colorado?

    Paula..it would be a no for me to have a spider monkey as a pet..

    old_dirt..GE is slow..your GE looks nice!..I'm just happy mine survived..my neighbor killed 2? or 3?..I do remember a Don from Colorado..and a Jon (Massachusetts?)..and Karin from Germany..and 2 guys named Steve..there's more too..I miss these people..

    it's great we still have a few left 😉..

    We had about six inches of snow the other day, some wind gusts today.

    I also got Gemstone because of how good Laurie’s looked! We do enable each other.

    Old_dirt, all of your hostas show so well. Besides how good they look; your darker mulch really sets them off. And I wonder if Don ever looks at the hosta forum anymore?

    Paula so good that Guacamole stuck around for you. Palm & pine seem like an odd combo there but here it would be unheard of! My late DH had a spider monkey as a kid.

    Ann nice that your lovely EE could point the way.

    old_dirt another beautiful GE! I remember Don and many others that no longer post.

    Wow lindalana Galaxy is a beauty! I am so glad you tried and succeeded in posting pics again.

    Lisa so happy to enable! Your Gemstone is looking terrific. GR & GP look wonderful.

    Beth we were posting at the same time. What a great bunch you have!

    Wow! Your 2024 gardens looked so good. My favorites of these G’s are Goodness Gracious, Golden Meadows, and Giantland Blue Banana. Thank goodness that I already own all 3!

    Gorgeous G's everyone 👍..
    I forgot Green Angel..I have a tag..I remember the first location but I moved it 😂..

    I think it's in the pot at the top..

    lindalana..I have lysimachia growing by Fire Island in the front..I get the same effect as your combination..I love it..



  • last year

    I just got Glad Rags. Glad to see a few of you have it. This picture was taken at the end of October. Holding up well considering it was late in the season.




    Golden Meadows. A slow growing one.



    Great Expectations. One of my favorites.



    Ginsu Knife. Definitely needs to be removed as it is shadowing everything around it.



    Gypsy Rose with Good Gracious beside it.
