    good ones Paula!..the one where Mom leaves her daughter at the gym reminds me of the time my sister and my parents went to the airport to pick up my aunt coming from Alaska..4 adults and not one said "what about the luggage?"..they went home without it 😝..

    lovely L's everyone..

    my 2 L's..Lancifolia..April 17 2023..


    Little Wonder growing along my front sidewalk..the squirrels sit in the hickory tree..eat nuts..and make a mess..


  • 25 days ago

    Paula they are well fed!

    Ben I too love LM and want one!

    Saija I like Little Hopper, I am a fan of corrugated foliage.

    old_dirt yours do so well in pots. Clearly Liberty is on its way to a barrel soon.

    Ann Little Wonder is so cute. It looks really good lining the walk.


    Ladybug


    Lancifolia


    Lemon Frost. I moved a chunk to here since it was being buried under Silver Bay.


    Lemon Lime in spring.


    Seedling of Lemon Lime


    Liberty


    Lily Blue Eyes has been slow to really take off.


  • 25 days ago

    A few more.


    Lipstick Blond


    Little Aurora. I got this area cleaned & mulched. I still need to move it though because it gets overwhelmed by Hanky Panky.


    Little Starlet has always been weak.


    Little Treasure on its first full year.


    London Fog. I had not even done spring clean up yet.


    Love Pat from 2 yrs. ago. It gets waaaay too much sun now.

  • 25 days ago

    Ben, LM is so pretty! I should add that one to my collection. Does it stay small/medium?}

    Saija, I also like Little Hopper!

    Old_dirt, that’s a beautiful Love Pat! I can not tell the difference between LP and Abiqua Drinking Gourd….. any suggestions?
    Also love Liberty in a pot!

    Ann, LW is a cutie and looks good in a row like you have.

    Laurie, I have to get Ladybug! It is so cute and small. And your LP is wonderful!

    Laurie..I like Lipstick Blonde!..

    are those Junes next to Lemon Lime?..I think I see reverted leaves 😝..I decided blue leaves on June don't bother me..as time goes on I've lowered my standards on everything 😜..

    Oh, Paul, forgot mention how cute the eglets looked with a belly full of fish!

  • 25 days ago

    Debra thank you & you really do need Ladybug!

    Yes Ann those are Junes with some reverted leaves. I will remove them before they take over. I do not water and we have had severe drought and heat for 3 years in a row. Lol! I don't think you have lowered your standards, you are just more relaxed and going with the flow. We only need to please ourselves.

  • 25 days ago

    Debra Love Story is terrific! Very nice blue from lindalana! Lucky Mouse Ears is a cutie!

    Laurie..June is a hosta I know !!!😀..I hope you didn't think I was saying "look at that..Laurie needs to remove those reverted leaves"..that wasn't what I was thinking at all!!..I was asking to see if June was correct..

    I cut myself some slack now..sometimes the work involved isn't worth it to me 😉..it's so sweet of you to say I haven't lowered my standards 💕..I'm still out there for hours keeping the garden tidy..

  • 25 days ago

    Ann of course I knew you were double checking that it was June!! We all do what we can when we can and choose the top priorities. I had put mulching and redoing beds at the top of my list. It was so hot that I pretty much stuck to the shade. I have a lot to do in the sunny parts of the garden but even early morning has been tough. I will start on a job and before I know it I am over heated lol! Kudos to all you in very warm zones for getting anything done!!

  • 25 days ago

    debra - According to the database, ADG might be a little larger and has about twice the vein pairs as LP. I've never counted the veins but will try to remember to next year.

    Love your Love Story, another one to add to my list.

  • 25 days ago

    thanks Laurie..I have a battery operated fan for warm days..it's great!..

  • 25 days ago

    Ben, your Luna Moth is outstanding.


    Saija, that Little Hopper does remind me of a frog. So cute.


    Old-Dirt, you can grow hostas in pots so well! Nice Liberty. I wish I knew your secret.


    Ann/nicholsworth, so funny about the forgotten luggage.


    Laurie/peren.all, Your Liberty is a WOW! Lemon Lime looks prolific, and I like the color of your Lipstick Blonde.


    Debra, your Love Story has such pretty markings. Lucky Mouse Ears is very cute, too!


    Little Miss Sunshine. It gets more yellow as the season progresses, but Sweet Woodruff was overtaking it in the later pics.



  • 25 days ago

    Kudos to all you in very warm zones for getting anything done!! hahaha that is a good one. We don't. I am just catching up from last year. ERK and now there is freeze clean up.


    Ann, I have been left at parties twice. It is funny now.

  • 25 days ago

    Laurie....like your Little Bug. Going to have to get one.

    Old Dirt and Laurie....very nice Love Pat. Mine has styed the same for years.

    Little Treasure


    Luna Moth 6-7-25.jpg...after the rain


  • 24 days ago

    Lisa Little Miss Sunshine is so well named! Not so funny story with Liberty. I planted it got busy elsewhere and maybe 3 days later I go by and see it laying on the ground. It seems a squirrel had a stash there. It took years for it to even look decent and finally I am not ashamed of it!

    Paula your Liberty looks so good! You are definitely in the hottest zone here! I do recall years ago there being a few others. I think one fella was in Texas. I will remember their names when it does not matter lol!

    mbug thanks! Lady Guinevere & Luna Moth are spectacular specimens. Little Treasure seems very happy in the trough, I hope mine establishes quickly.



  • 24 days ago

    Mbug, I also love Little Treasure in that trough…. Mine’s in a pot as it almost died in the ground. Also, great pic of LM in the rain.

    'Lemon Frost' has been a favourite of mine along with its progenitor 'Lemon Lime'.


    Below is 'Lemon Lime' on the same day...

    'Lily Blue Eyes' is finally putting on some size....

    ...and it flowered last year. Yes, there's a bit of theme here with the bees...

    Lastly there's 'Lucky Mouse'....

    Yes, it does look frightfully similar to 'Frosted Mouse Ears'...

    Debra, my Luna Moth is about 3 years old. I'd consider it a medium so far.

  • 23 days ago

    Pieter your LBE is looking good! FME & LM do look very much the same but you can never have too many mice unless they are the furry kind!

    Beth hope it was a good trip. Your Lemontini has great colour.

  • 23 days ago

    Beth, such a tall Liberty and a nice Lemontini. I'm not seeing your Luna Moth. Is it showing for anyone else?

  • 22 days ago

    Sandyslopes, houzz is acting up again. I go to edit my post and Luna Moth appears, so I just re-add the picture now I see my picture of Liberty is missing. I guess there are those days.
