3 Most difficult things to do in the World:

1. You cannot count your hair.
2. You cannot wash your eyes with soap.
3. You cannot breathe when your tongue is out.

Now please put your tongue back inside.

I wish to see your Is:

Inspire Greatness.

Oh, this alphabet is whetting my appetite for hosta gardening. I cannot wait. Love the Dragon Warrior. Love the Dick Ward pictures, one of the first hosta I purchased in 2010 and it never fails to impress. Then I'm so pleased to have seeds from Steve_Mass from his Dancing Queen...quite a looker. Dan Patch is a fragrant introduction from the Savory family. Named for a famous trotter (horse for you city slickers). Dance With Me with Mango Tango on its left in Aug 2013 Dancing Queen is nice and yellow, but with no ruffles like Steve's has. May 2013 Dark Shadows Dawn's Early Light is off to a slow start, sad to say. Deane's Dream Dear Heart during a rain Deep Pockets in Aug 2013....not yet developed it pockets. Derriere is OS from Jim Hartmann and hasn't begun to "spread out".... Devil's Poker came as a gift by Savory's who introduced it. Picture taken in May 2013 Diana Remembered shown in Oct 2013. Dick Ward August2013 Doubled Up is a 6'' flowering fragrant but my flowers are singles, not doubles...just 6'' long. Drummer Boy is a small about the size of Blue Cadet and that's all folks.....NEXT

Forgot about Little Ralph. It's just plain green, but has lovely striped flowers. This post was edited by MadPlanter1 on Mon, Jan 20, 14 at 3:00

leaflover76, Montana Mountain Snow is 10 years old. It's had some rough years - being in the wrong place- growing in a pot and doing well then almost rotting away in a bad spring. It started over again from not much about three or four years ago and now seems to be doing better. All Montana's are slow as can be for me. I didn't post a picture of Montana Aureo. because though at least it now looks like it suppose to leaf size wise, it's 20 years old with about 3 eyes. It hates me. Oh... I noticed you had Moonstruck as a mini. The library says it's a small but mine seems to be at least a medium.

Quill - new to me this year, and almost lost it to a road crew who yanked our gas line, snapping the line right underneath my hosta bed. Soooo glad I was home sick from work that day and could move them out of the way of the backhoe.

The rest are my plants.

This is like a giant Devon Green. It is one that lasts the longest in the fall even though it's exposed to weather and in lots of sun.

Paul and McT, nice Invincibles. I really like that one, but mine turns to carp about July 15.

Yes, those are great-looking 'Invincible', you guys. I hope mine is looking strong this spring; It'll be year 3 for mine...

A very nice introduction from Paul Aden, from a cross of his 'Aden 314' and 'Aden 802', just two breeding plants of many, from his extensive hybridization program...

HA HA HA HA HO HO HA HA HA HA HEE HEE HEE!!!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Couldn't help it.

Don,

Just so that you know, Invincible was hybridized by Kevin Vaughn. Kevin was the only person in the country working with fragrant plants at that time. So Sweet was Kevin's plant also. These were stolen from Kevin's parents' garden in Massachusetts while Kevin was away at college. I'm hopeful that these corrections in the record will be made shortly by the AHS and the registrar.

Inaho, from the Flying Frog display garden. I fell in love and bought a plant, but mine is still tiny.

Ivory Coast is awfully pretty, maybe my garden needs one.

Thanks for that info, Steve. So Sweet is one of my favorites.

Yes Steve, I figured that 'Invincible' was from Kevin Vaughn, as well as 'Fragrant Bouquet' and any other fragrant hostas that Paul Aden took credit for. From what I've gathered from reading of this man in the last year or so, I'm doubting he registered ANY hostas that he could honestly call his own. My post was pure sarcasm, my friend. : ) (Except for the compliments on the nice-looking specimens posted on this thread).

Don B.

P.S. 'Aden 412', 'Aden 802,' 'Aden BLAH BLAH BLAH...' LOL...You pickin up what I'm puttin down?

P.P.S. And yes indeed, I totally agree with you; I'm also hoping the hosta registrar will make the needed corrections in good time. I was very heartened to see Hallson Gardens begin to do so on their website.

WOW. The "I's" have it!
BC, that's the prettiest Invincible I ever saw. And the rest of the show is pretty darn good too.

Forgive me if I omit some of my I's.

Inniswood has to be a fantastic hosta, if every speciman I see is that lovely. Gives me hope for my youngun in a couple of years. Here is mine in August....from Wade Gatton.

Invincible is a great one to have since it is fertile. From Bridgewood. Fragrant, naturally.

Invincible Spirit is medium sized, fragrant, this one came from MasonHollow in NH

Irish Luck is on the "shiny leaf hosta" list.From Land Of The Giants Nursery

Iron Gate Bouquet (and the other Iron Gate hosta I have) came from Wade Gatton. That includes IG Delight, IG Glamour, IG Supreme. Only one picture here.

berndnyz5 how old is that Ivory coast, I bought one last year with two large eyes and one smaller one. I am probably most excited for that one in the spring.
