Nice.

The earliest riser in my yard and the only one that has done some serious unfurling.

For some reason, I have failed with this plant twice and now the remaining eye is withering away. It's outta here. But it is a lovely hosta in someone else's yard.

Flowerchild, mine gets great morning light where it's at and seems to like it. Sorry to hear it hasn't performed well for you.

Esox, my earliest risers are montana 'Aureomarginata' and Gunsmoke.

Thanks, bk.

My Choo Choo is right next to montana A. and is all leafed out while mA is still upright posts. The two of them are the most developed at this moment but also in the best spot for early warmth.

Both are very large, mA was 80 inches across last year and has a lot more eyes this year.

Whoa....I can't wait to see a photo of these 2 in their glory later this season! Sounds like we'll be in for quite a treat, esox :)

You don't really have to wait. Here's last year.

Esox..you're knocking my socks off with that picture....last year, when I declared I would not be buying more hostas....I bought the last ones on my wishlist: Montana A, Sun Power, Maui Buttercups and Regal Splendor.....so this spring is exciting! Fortunately, I have already broken the "no more hosta forever" rule! Hee hee.

"....last year, when I declared I would not be buying more hostas..."

Heh heh heh, Mary, that's cute. It's OK, we understand, we really do... ; )

Esox has many pics that have knocked MY sox off as well...No messing around, some of your plants are downright steroidal, Esox. You're a fantastic grower.

WOW lovely hosta, esox!! That makes me think I need to move mine to a better spot in my garden. Thanks for sharing.

Don, I've got plenty of ones that haven't done so well too, but my camera refuses to look at them.

And Mary, since Sun Power was one of the last four on your wishlist, you might want to give it some room.

But this thread is supposed to be about Choo Choo Train. A bit smaller but seems to have a slight lighter edge than it's supposed to.
