2 of my orders of hostas arrived today!!! All of them are from NH Hostas except the 2 on the far right which are from Direct Source Hostas. I have a third order (and maybe a fourth!) that will probably come next week.

Back Row Left to Right

Eskimo Pie, Olive Branch, Spilt Milk, Striptease and Dark Shadows

Middle Row Left to Right

Elvis Lives -(bonus) Ice Age Trail, Peppermint Ice Bright Lights and Teaspoon

Tattoo in front.

I agree with Andrea. Where are Elvis Lives and Bright Lights? I've heard of small hostas but this takes the cake!

You certainly have your priorities in order. This is the best way to spend Mother's day money or even Father's day money for some of you. Those hanging baskets are so pretty, just yummy.

After having work down on our front and back landscaping here for the last two months- those rocks look pretty cool! What a great MD idea. I asked DH if we could NOT go out to do something and just stay home instead and enjoy our gardens at home instead. We have lots of roses and other plants too in pots we can plant up that weekend. He made me a MD tea party (cooked all the food and set it up himself) one year and we'll do that again as we all enjoyed it so much. we're a tea party family! Here are some pics of our recent landscaping projects on my Picture Trail. The gazebo in our front yard was our Valentine's Day Wedding anniversary gift to each other. I think the new front yard and back patio are our Mother's Day and Father's Day gifts -for a few years! careytearose Here is a link that might be useful: check out the Landscaping Projects 2007 album

I get the idea that you really, really LIKE it! (ha-ha) Hope you enjoy it for a long time. We stopped buying *new* and started buying 'dealer certified used' a long time ago. These are titled, but with only a few hundred miles on them, and they are backed for the original warranty. (Usually six years.) We bought our current 2005 in June 2006. This works well for us because we put so few miles on a car. We are also no longer excited about spending for the latest style or gadget in a depreciating asset. (I wouldn't turn down a Tesla though!)

Last year my order from New Hampshire Hostas was delivered on two dates. On 3/30/06, the order came and there were no eyes showing in any of the pots. The eyes soon appeared; however, Bright Lights was the last Hosta to show its eyes. The second part of the order arrived on 4/13/06, all the Hostas on that order had leaves.

All the Hostas did well from New Hampshire Hostas.

You can sort of see the eye on Elvis Lives.... I'm sure it will be leafing out in no time.

They look great! I have never ordered from NH Hostas, but will take a look and see what I still need for this year.

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Well, I was a bit concerned about the 2 not showing anything but figured I would wait a bit before calling them. I've rec'd orders of other types of plants that just look like pots of dirt but have eventually sprouted so I was hoping this was the case.
Of course looking at the other pics makes me add a few more to my wish list LOL.

Don't worry about Bright Lights. It is a Tokudama derivitive,and they are always slow. I have Tokudama FC and Bright Lights in my garden and they are just now putting up eyes.Very slooow,but worth the wait! Phil

I wasn't trying to be a smart-alec...I thought maybe they were already moved to a bigger pot or something. LOL

My Tokudamas haven't come up in the yard yet either but when they do...ooh la la!

Great order! Keep posting them as they arrive. I just love Ice Age TRail, a little slow, but so worth it.
