Cowboy, your 5th pic down you have Bro. Stefan planted next to Paradigm, funny I had done the same thing not thinking how similar they are in coloring and ultimate size. You must have two of them? The other pic further down shows a bigger one, stunning. I also have two Paradigms, lol.
I was just thinking if you keep these pix coming til the end of Feb. spring will be just around the corner, calendar wise anyway :-)

Connie, Shade & McT, Thank You! Connie - safe travels to the warmth. It is -11 right now. Shade - Blue River is a nice one. I moved it after this picture was taken because it was fighting with some Maple roots. In a couple of years it will really be nice. Gypsy Rose gets good light but not direct Sun, another keeper; however, Gypsy Rose is right up there in HVX fears so I will keep an eye on it. McT - Robert Frost reminds me of Liberty and Liberty is one of my favorites. Just like with Blue River, I am waiting to see Robert Frost as it matures. One great thing about gardening is "everything will be bigger & better next year!". Theoretically anyway.

This one doesn't get much direct sun but is does get a lot of light. There were two Junes but the June on the right was moved as they filled in. The Hostalibrary says there is debate about whether there are two June sports being sold. I thought that for a while but I think June just changes so much depending on the season, light conditions and age of the plant. Check out Hank Zumach's June in the Hostalibrary. June was purchased in 2004 and was split into two plants before planting. June 8/23/04 (One of two plants) June 8/23/04 (Two of two plants) Here they are in 2005 & 2006. June 10/6/05 June 10/1/06 2 Junes 7/25/07 2 Junes 7/26/08 June 7/14/09 (one of the Junes was moved) June 7/7/10 June 7/1/11 This post was edited by tsbccowboy on Thu, Jan 17, 13 at 14:20

WOW !!! Can I find my house the same way you showed yours? How do you do that? please let me know. I'm not fortunate enough to have a church with permission to use their land behind me. The backyard neighbor I have is such a lazy character he only mows about once a month and sometimes not even then in the summer. He did no fall cleanup and I expect the leaves to all end up in my yard over the winter. Maybe the long grass will keep some of them in his yard. We have lived here into our 18th. year and I have only seen his wife 3 or 4 times. The last time in '06 when I asked her husband to tell her to come walk through the garden before I had a grarden walk. Thank goodness their very scary German Shepard dog died as I couldn't be in garden when he was out. They did have one of those underground fences to keep him in but once he came over anyway and I never trusted the fence again. We can't pick our neighbors can we. Connie

The Fall of 2003 I discovered there were different kinds of Hostas. During the Winter I ordered lots of Hostas and one place I ordered from was Bridgewood Gardens. They had a special where the Hostas were cheaper if you bought three or more of each Hosta. Paradigm was one of the Hostas purchased during this special. The large one in the photos was unsplit and gets a lot of Sun. The others were split. There are four Paradigms in a row by Brother Stefan. It is interesting, two of the Paradigms look almost identical to Brother Stefan and two of the Paradigms are lighter in color.

Three of the four Paradigms
7/17/09 The Paradigm, on the lower right, is lighter in color from the other two Paradigms in the photo. Brother Stefan is to the left of the top Paradigm.

Maybe we can get through February/August with more photos.

Will be anxiously waiting for Mc-T's photos.

Here is some color so everything isn't just green. These are all from 7/27/09.

Interesting about the Paradigm/Bro.Stefan plantings Cowboy.
Those daylilies are just scrumptious, the coloring and markings on El Bandito is different. I really got into DLs intensely last year, previous years I just dabbled with them since I didn't have enough sun for good blooms. One thing I noticed last year though is that slugs like them too! Never saw this before or maybe never noticed. Then again last year was so horrible that slugs were climbing six foot high butterfly bushes and hanging out there til noon! We had an unusual amount of rain here so they came out in droves, made me want to stop growing anything.
