    we had a TV and a TV stand like that too..then we upgraded to a Sony Trinitron with a remote control..what a ripoff!!!..$800? $900? back then was a lot of money!!!..even back then I thought so but my husband wanted it..

    Sherry..those are good looking blooms..I might have ventricosa..my house came with hostas that I haven't identified..

    Saija..beautiful hostas and photos as always..Valley's Chute the Chute is pretty..

    I have Venusta..it's in these group shots by the fern..and there's a cute volunteer by it closer to the stones..



    a closer pic from 2023..the leaves at the bottom of the photo belong to the volunteer..does the volunteer count as a V?..😂..

    Space Invaders or Pong, I think I liked Pong better. Definitely had them in 1981 and I think the TV stand too.



    Vally's Blue Curacao



    Ventricosa



    Victory - Very SLOW growing for me



    Voices in the Wind



    Vulcan - new last year



  • last year

    I’m sure we had that tv and stand as well. Poor Kermie and Piggie….Such dark humor Paula, lol


    sherry, that that’s a beautiful Ventricosa! I love dark purple flowers.

    saija, all of yours are lovely, but I am digging your Valleys!


    ann, nice venusta! I say volunteer counts as a V!


    beth, that V. Blue Curacao is really pretty. I wanted to buy that one last year, but couldn’t find it. I also love Voices in the Wind ==> I’m a sucker for those wavy leaves.


    Here are my Vs:



    Valley’s Love Birds

    "not a bouncer" lol.

    Sherry they are great blooms.

    Saija C the C is a good one and Victor is interesting. I look forward to seeing it next year.

    Ann venusta is so cute.

    Beth VBC is wonderful and V in the W is too.

    Debra your Valley's are very nice.

    Mike another beautiful Voices in the Wind. Like Debra I am always drawn to a wavy edge.


    Venetian Star


    I will call this venusta until I hear otherwise. Pieter I keep looking but have not come up with anything. Venetian Star later in the season...on the far right. I cleaned the path after this pic.

    Mike, that Vistory is awesome….should send it to HL!

    Laurie your Venetian Star has such a gorgeous blue color. If the Venusta is not, whatever it is, it’s really pretty!

    You know Laurie, I was curious about Venusta, so I did some research. Apparently there are several varieties that arose from the original, but the key identifying characteristic are the ridged scapes. (Lamellar) You may know this, but I didn’t. Would be interesting to see a close up of the scapes when they come up this summer.

    I remember having the Pong game on our tv. These days it would seem so slow moving, but then it was such a new experience to use the tv that way. Now look at all the screens we interact with every day!

    Saija, Valley’s Chute the Chute is a real cutie!

    I can’t wait to see Voices in the Wind more grown up. It looks like it’s going to be a stunner!

    Thank goodness I added the name of the hosta in the picture. I would have had no idea as to where it was!

    We played Space Invaders on an Apple IIE computer, purchased from Woz's brother when he opened a store in Sunnyvale, CA. Load the tape!

    Old_dirt your Vulcan is so big and even if she’s diminishing, I still love Valerie’s Vanity! 👍🏽

    Valley’s Lemon Squash

  • last year

    Thank you Debra! I did not know that, how I don't know. I usually check the HL for info. Interesting. I went through old pics and the scapes look smooth but I will take a look in spring. It sometimes sports variegated leaves but I have not had a chance to check the multitude of progeny and sports.

    Lisa your VS is looking wonderful.

    nhl nice venusta but your V in the W is terrific.

    old_dirt I am with Debra. I have always admired VV and wow your Vulcan is super.

    utog another wow for VLS. Yellow wavy leaf & red legs is such a beautiful combo.

  • last year

    I’m taking a second look at Vulcan. I didn’t realize it had that pretty lime green color in between the white and dark green.

    Old_dirt, I ALWAYS look forward to your Valerie’s Vanity. It still looks perfect to me. It better not go anywhere!
