    Saija they are all beauties but Chiquita is always the standout for me!

    Ben C as a C is very pretty. I recall others reporting it having a lack of vigor.

    Paula, great jokes. Makes me think of my cat jumping on my back for a rest while I am gardening. At least he doesn't lock me out of the bathroom.



    Canadian Shield



    Candy Dish, I thought I lost this one when we took down a tree. I found a little piece and planted it not knowing what would come up. This is after a couple years.



    Captain Kirk



    Cathedral Windows



    Celtic Uplands - I love the dark leaves and the red legs. It is a good grower too

    Paula, good jokes today. I really laughed at the cat looking down at the phone. I had one who knocked down the ironing board in the laundry room, which blocked the door. So it really happens!


    Defend your answer is clever. That kid must be destined for the military.

    Who doesn’t like a good dance off?


    It’s good to hear Cool as a Cucumber is slow for others, too. Now if my Curly Fries would ever grow like these here, that would be nice. It’s on it’s second home in more sun and still unhappy.


    Laurie/ Perenall, I like your Cup of Grace. It has an elegant form.


    Beth, that’s how I met my black cat. He jumped on my back while gardening. I’d never seen him before that. Your piece of Candy Dish has turned into a real cutie.

    I think the kid's "defend your answer" homework deserves an A too..

    old_dirt..I passed on a City Lights years ago..no room in my cart and I talked myself out of it..that was dumb 🤦‍♀️..

    Saija..I'm repeating myself..I love Chiquita..

    Ben..Cool as a Cucumber is cute..I love the name..

    Laurie..I'm repeating myself..I love Cupatini..

    Beth..great recovery on Candy Dish..

    sandyslopes..I have Coast to Coast..love it..I think lots of us love it..

    Coast to Coast 5-8-25..



    Clausa..4-22-25..I did remove some of these..

    debra..I had a glitch too..I tapped Gardenweb and got a blank page..later it worked..

    Beth another great come back story on Candy Dish. I do like a good ruffled edge. You are "going to need a bigger boat" for Choo Choo Train lol!

    Thanks Lisa I am hoping C of G leaps next year. What a lovely C to C, I like it with the Brunnera & Jacob's Ladder.

    Ann another beautiful C to C! It seems that it is a favorite here and well deserved. clausa is such a wonderful beast until you try to get rid of it. Thanks Ann Cupatini is almost as fun to say as Appletini.

    Ann such a pretty composition.

    Debra your Cupatini is doing really well! They all look good. Is it possible that your 2nd pic (the one below Cracker Crumbs) is Cup of Grace or anything other than Cupatini?

    I knew I took less pics this year but apparently I did not get a pic of Christmas Tree. This is it a couple of years ago.


    Christmas Tree

  • 8 months ago

    Been having issues with the site uploading anything, not just pictures but even just plain text using Firefox. Tried Edge yesterday with some success, trying Firefox again today.
    This here's 'Camelot' peeking out from under 'Queen of the Seas' and 'Dawn's Early Light'....

    Don't seem to have any pictures of just 'Captain Kirk', only of one division that's sporting and that sport was removed to grow-on by itself, time will tell what'll become of it.

    'Chinese Sunrise' has been in the garden since at least '09 and very quickly rose to the top of favourites in the spring. Here it is on March 31st beginning to unfurl and it rapidly becomes that early bright beacon in the yard, just love it!

    By April 29th it is in full glory!

    While not quite as early to break 'Cracker Crumbs' sure make a nice showing here on April 17th.

    Invariably the earliest hosta to break for me is clausa var. normalis, like here on March 14th...

    Clausa of course has a deserved reputation for being a borderline thug, it spreads rapidly and in my case because my variety sets seed, I have to contend with runners as well as volunteers..

    In spite of all that it keeps a firm spot in the garden not only because it's such an early riser but I do love its flowers...

    And that's it for my C's!

    Laurie, you are absolutely right, that picture is Cup of Grace not Cupitini…..my mistake! The names are too similar!

    Pieter, I bought Chinese Sunrise because of your beauty, though mine doesn’t look like yours. This will only be its second year.

    debra

  • 8 months ago

    Laurie I was able to edit that name on the forum. Thanks for catching it!

    debra

  • 8 months ago

    Excellent Debra! Your C of G is very nice!

    Pieter I will be keeping my clausa var. normalis in a pot always. I love the flowers too! claua var. clausa is more than enough to contend with in the garden.
