yay Jaguars!..they're good Paula 👍..
"this would have been my sister"..my sister could say the same thing!..I've apologized for bullying her 60 years ago..I can't undo it 😝..she can still annoy me 😂..

Saija..your Firn Line puts mine to shame..I love Forbidden Fruit and Frisian Waving Steel..

I have 8 F's..I have pictures of my 3 favorites..I have tags for 5 others but no nice pictures of them..

Fire Island..repeated pics because they're my favorite pics 😀..

Firn Line..kind of a wimp..the spring flower is sweet..

First Frost..this spot in my woods looks prettier now..

I actually have a few photos to post!

Forbidden Fruit before it got moved. It was competing with tree roots, hope the new spot will help.

Fragrant Bouquet has been here for two decades. It has been ravaged by rabbits ☹️

It took a few years to recover after having every leaf chewed off.

Sherry

Good ones Paula!

Saija you caught F. Albopicta at the perfect time! Frisian Pride is really lovely. If you chose to you could resize your pics & post 10 at once.

Ann your Fire Island are always wonderful! I have got to get mine planted. FF does light up the woods.

Sherry so nice! I am sure FF will reward your effort. Tree roots are such an issue. Your Fragrant Bouquet has recovered beautifully.

Fall Dazzler was hit with a late frost.

my unpictured F's marked on a screenshot of hosta notes on my phone..

Saija posted Fragrant Blue..Sherry and Laurie posted Fragrant Bouquet..Laurie the other 3..now I'm covered 😂..

Saija, great looking Frisian Pride. I’ve always liked that one.

Saija...nice thread

Some great looking Fire and Ice....another one I like, but have a hard time growing.

Laurie, beautiful F and I

A few F's but some seem to be dwindling.

Fire and Ice-probably can't expect too much with the restricted pot but I like it.

Fire Island-only looks good early in the year.

Fire Island (under a climbing rose):

Wow! So many beautiful hostas today! It’s too late to comment on all, but the Frisians, the Fire Island, the F. Albopictas……

just so bright and beautiful! I will go to the forum to post my pictures.

Funny Mouse

mbug so glad you are back! All are gorgeous as we have come to expect from you. I am always taken by the colour of Fog Light and I adore a round leaf so Fruit Loops is a favorite too. It will be fun to watch Francheska.

old_dirt (Jerry) Fire and Ice looks very happy! Such a fun way to display it.

Ben what a pretty pic that is.

Debra I hope your Fire and Ice recoups well and it looks like it is off to a good start. Another wonderful Fruit Loops. Good to see Frosted Mouse Ears another I forgot to add. My only excuse is that I was redoing beds all summer and took way less pics!

Beth so many beauties but FGT still seems like it wants to take over your garden. I do appreciate an enthusiastic grower!

Thanks!

'Fantasy Island' and its flower below...

FI has had a habit for me of throwing striped and/or all-white pods. It's said that type of pod is likely to result in variegated or streaked seedlings. Unfortunately for some reason most years I see those there's been a few rodents around -mice most likely- and they've gone after the pods so I've never gotten any seedlings.
'Fire Island' is always a welcome, bright light in the spring. Too bad it's viridescent....

'Fireworks'

'Firn Line' tucked in with a bunch of family members: 'Remember Me', Ben Vernooij' and 'Bulletproof'.

'First Blush'

'First Frost'

I do have a 'Fortunei Albomarginata' but don't have any pics from last year but I do have some of 'Fortunei Albomarginata'...

No pictures of either 'Fortunei Aureomarginata' nor 'Fortunei Hyacinthina' but when all's said and done they're rather common...
... as is 'Fragrant Blue' for that matter, so, here's a different perspective...

'Fragrant Bouquet' is another common one, nice, reliable grower and bloomer...

'Fragrant Dream' is frightfully close to 'Fragrant Bouquet'. This one's in a rather sheltered spot and is shown here on 22nd of October when most other hostas are well into senescence...

'Frosted Mouse Ears'

'Frozen Margarita' from last year, in a sporting mode but it was more stable last year..

And them's my F's...
Pieter

Pieter Fireworks is a standout! Yes some are ordinary (I prefer classic) lol! We can see who started collecting a long time ago and who has been at it for a short time by what we have. Although I must say if I have the energy I will dig out sieboldiana and patch #2 of F. Albomarginata to make room for Drop Dead Gorgeous and Wind Beneath My Wings.

Pieter, all of yours are looking! I also love Fireworks! First Blush is a good one with such a purple flower, like Bloodline. I’m also liking Fantasy Island.

debra

I have a few

Frances Williams

Fire and Ice with a sport

Fragrant Bouquet 1.6.2026. We are going to find out what a yearlong growing plant that will not go dormant hosta will do. Just when you thought it was safe to go out in the garden again.

Paula your Frances Williams is one happy looking plant! Fire and Ice is doing really well but I am sure you know if you do not remove the reverted part(s) they will take over and you will have a plain green.

Pieter I am stuck on your Fireworks. Wow that plant is stunning.

Thank you Laurie. I bought Fire and Ice because it had a sport. Everyone has one but me.

And the winner is:
