Hosta XYZ 2024 =^..^= =^..^= =^..^=

last year

Good morning. I play with Google Earth, and I do a thing where I drop into your town and city and then find my way out to a major freeway system. (no tolls for me). Yesterday I was in Ohama Nebraska. I dropped into a nice neighborhood, lovely split-level homes with manicured lawns. About the third house I found this. It is early spring and defiantly not Halloween. I quickly found I-80 and got the dickens out of there.







True for me.


Please post your XYZ hostas today and stay out of neighborhoods in Ohama!

Have a great day.

Noids are next.

    Nice ones Saija.

    I would get out of that neighborhood too. I laughed at the vegan couple because I know a vegan couple.

    I have addresses of my cousins out of state..I haven't been to all of their homes..maybe I'll do some Google visits 😉..

    I have Yellow Polka Dot Bikini..what a cute name..as usual mine is smaller than Laurie's or Saija's..😂

    but it's big compared to my Praying Hands 😜..

    I just noticed..the margins of my YPDB are darker than the center..Laurie's and Saija's have light margins and darker centers?..did I get the wrong label?..

    Very nice YPDB Saija and Laurie…….it’s a cute one. Laurie love the picture of Zebra Stripes coming up.

    Ann, you are on to something……doesn’t seem to be YPDB……..HMMMM. Post it in the NOID category. Could it be Striptease? I’m looking for some white streaks…..maybe I see a couple???

    debra..I love Yankee Blue..🙂 how funny is this?..years ago I bought a solid green that was labeled Striptease..I didn't know Striptease wasn't a solid 🤦‍♀️..the tag was handwritten and no photo..if shopping now I'd grab my phone and look up the name..to this day my "Striptease" is solid..no variegation..and now my YPDB could be a Striptease? 😂..I checked the Hosta Library..my YPDB does look like Striptease..

    fyi..I did NOT mix them up..my "Striptease" is much older..I distinctly remember where I bought it (Country Harmony..a small local gift and plant store) and where I planted it..I guess I don't have a YPDB..


    on the left side from the bottom..there's 2 Krossa Regal..above them is the one labeled Striptease..there's an Abiqua Drinking Gourd on the right of it..I bet my "Striptease" is a common green one..

    Paula..that's funny!..😆

    I love the truck, yes that is how I used to draw it, many many years ago.



    Yellow River - Mine stays the same size too, but I do love this one.



    Zonda - New last year



    Zounds

    I like the kitty symbols. How come I can’t make the ears? Where is that? And I like to look at realtor sites, but playing with Google earth sounds fun, too! I have a neighbor with snow covered Halloween goblins still on their lawn.

    That red truck – yikes! Someone’s hobby went very wrong.


    Yellow Polka Dot Bikini changes throughout the year. A very cool feature!

    In spring


    In the transition phase


    By August mine looks like this

    a screenshot from my post 3 years ago when YPDB was new..it WAS lighter at first..I didn't remember that utog and steve duggins told me that YPDB changes color..just like sandyslopes said yesterday..

    well now I know 😉..

    Thanks Ann. Yes YBDB does transition later in the season. Mine has never gone as dark as yours but different sun exposure could explain that. I was thinking Striptease like Debra but your pic this a.m. shows YPDB.

    Debra YB is lovely. What a great name in ZP and a very cute plant.

    Mike YR is a beauty.

    Paula your Zounds is terrific. You are a hoot.

    Beth I had never heard of Zonda before. It looks good. Another nice YR.

    Lisa great transition shots and another very nice YSR.

    joc nice to see you back. What a lovely ZDD.

    Laurie..it's true that my plants are darker and smaller than most..but it's ok..I love shade..👍

  • last year

    Just the one Y for me.

    Ann I wish I had more shade especially when it is blazing hot out! I got a lot done on my shady side last year when it was just too hot to be in the sun.

    What a beauty old_dirt.

    Thanks Paula! I searched my whole keyboard and didn’t see that. Ugh! =^..^= And also thanks for keeping our alphabet going and all the funnies and your sense of humor that you bring to the alphabet. I really appreciate you, as so many others have said, too.

    Ann, isn’t it nice to know you do have a yellow polka dot bikini and not a NOID? There’s a few that change like that over the season, which seems like a remarkable trait to me. I don't know how they do it. I'm sure the explanation would go over my head, lol.
