Sorry you have been left hanging today Paula. Ants have an incredible social structure - we could take some lessons from them. LOL that could be me sometimes too!

Saija beauties!

Old Glory is still waiting for a permanent home.

Orange Marmalade from last year.

Orange Star freshly planted last year. No pic from this year grr.

Oze. I need to have the Lobelia protecting this diva from the sun. So hot & dry even the Lobelia was pouting.

Paula, I love the info about the ants…..amazing! I don’t think humans would cooperate like this…… not these days 😔

Saija, you have so many lovely Os! I especially like One Last Dance and Orion’s Belt. Beautiful leaves. 👍🏽

Laurie, I hope my Old Glory grows up to be like yours. I had Orange Marmalade, but it didn’t like my yard. 😝 Oze is a cutie—is it best in a pot?

First flowers, third or fourth year

I have turned it into a mini, that I was always surprised returned every year. Look at her go.

Enjoying the O's, A few of mine, some pics from last year. I either missed them or the deer got them before I did. :(

Old_dirt, love your OBL! The colors are beautiful!

The only O for me is "Outta Business", the label I give to all-green sports from 'Risky Business'. It's frightfully close to "Green Revolution", the all-green out of 'Revolution'. The only real way to tell them apart is to feel the leaf thickness side-by-side...

Here's a good example of how vigorous those green sports are!

Debra I found Oze did better in the ground but it could perform better for some in a pot. Oh My Heart is a cutie!

Ann I see the Junco, They are adorable and pretty friendly.

Mike you always have such beautiful specimens!

Paula your OM looks very happy!

old_dirt I want my Old Glory to look like yours.

Pieter Risky Business seems very prone to reverting. I am going to end up with RB & OB.

Nice to see all these great pictures of "O" hostas on this cold January day.
