Growing, filling out quickly. Seems to like about 3 hours of early sun. Glad I got one. :)

A pic from my deck, showing 'Golden Meadows' and some other bedmates. Freshly planted 'Earth Angel' at bottom of pic. Sorry, my camera is a piece of junk.

Mine is just a 'new hire', still in the pot. It doesn't look like yours! The pics in the library sold me on this one.

Yellow streak on Golden Meadows?

ALL hosta.. but for the species.. are inherently unstable ... enjoy it.. there isnt much you can do with one leaf ... if it were a whole division.. you might be able to divide it off ... but odds are.. it wont be back next year ... and i would hate to set it back.. cutting it off for no reason ... i dont recall ... is a third color feasible ???? .. i think there are a very few with such ... which would mean.. the odds are really long on accomplishing anything ... by digging it up ... ken

Linda, hopefully the third year will be the leap year for you. Even when the plant is 'a little skimpy' you still have big beautiful leaves! Dan, what a beautiful specimen you have! Such a nice symmetrical mound too. How old?

Golden Meadows sick?

I would also say it is nothing but not enough water. He has too much plants (counted more than 900 hosta in spring) and is getting too old to take care of this big garden. He would need help but his kids are not interested in gardening:-( I had some hosta from him (not GM) with similar crumpled leaves as in that third picture) and they get perfect new leaves when watered better. This one I saved in May and now it looks like this: Have a nice weekend in the garden! Karin

Did you ever ID this plant? It does not seem to have the rounded leaves described in the HL. What does it look like now, 3 years later? Curious you know? debra

Snapped a quick photo of mine. Last year it got mutilated by hail so I'm looking forward to seeing it fully open.

Oh yikes! Those are beauties. If I didn't already have ONE, I'd be off looking for one right this minute. Melati, yours takes the prize today, what beautiful colors--at least FOUR colors and the beginnings of the fluted rippled margin. It seems to be in a bright light situation, whether direct sun I couldn't tell. But in Maine, full sun wouldn't be the same as here in zone 9a.

All these photos of Golden Meadows are a delight to see.

As I was browsing through past forum photos, I came upon a few more great pictures of Golden Meadows and other hostas. They are posted in the Hosta Alphabet G (2009)!

Wow, some beautiful Golden Meadows. Mine was new last year. I had to have it after seeing it on this forum.
