Imp - back this year after being eaten down to nothing last year

Invincible - gotta love that shine!

Lois - you might move your Inniswood into a lot more sun. Mine is full sun from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM and increased from 1 puny little eye 2 years ago the the respectable looking plant it is today. THis one can take the heat!

Just a thought......

Good idea, Alexa. It really is in deep shade. My yard has so much shade that I really have to work to find enough sun for those that need it. Maybe I'll find some room in my new bed. There's still not a lot sun, but at least it will be "dappled," and that's more than it's getting now. Thanks. Lois

Alexa, if your 'Inniswood' is the one I sent you a piece of, I'm sorry it was 'puny'! :o/
I only had two eyes to choose from and they both were the same size. I do remember
I butchered the roots pretty badly trying to separate them! I was so new at doing such a thing!!
Probably why mine didn't fare well in the '07 Spring--I lost what was left, then.

Glad to see it's doing well for you!! :o) I thought about replacing it, but since I have
'September Sun' and 'Paradigm' and everyone says they are so similar, I've not done it!

Love everyone's pics!!! Love this sort of thread!

Independence - deciding whether it wants to be green - removed 3 eyes last year

Gee, Paul, your Island Charm is wonderful. When I see hostas with three or four distinct colors like yours, I always think of the old "paint by numbers" that I used to love as a child. Lois

Hey Janice!

I probably shouldn't have called it puny - but compared to what it is now, that eye was tiny! THere isn't anything to give perspective on the size of Inniswood now, but it is rocking the house with its growth in the last couple of years. I was worried it might not make it too - but it LOVES the sun.

BTW - I have Paradigm also, and I don't see them as being all that similar...... Paradigm has a lot more substance in my garden and doesn't get as light/white as Inniswood, but maybe that is just the different conditions where they are growing.

Alexa

PS Can you tell I LOVE my Inniswood and I do think of you every time I see it?

Well, Alexa--you obviously know how to 'love' a hosta to a healthy state! Good job 'hosta-MOM'! :o)

Okay--so now I HAVE to get 'Inniswood' afterall--thanks a lot, Alexa! :o) I do need enabling more!

In a way, a late-night host recently tried to explain , it was my 'intent' to send you something you had wanted
and I hope the 'perception' was just that! :o)

Another Independence.

It's nice to see some who can actually grow Island Charm! Here is a pic of my former Island Charm. It is long since departed to that great hosta farm in the sky! Phil

and Island Charm

A ratty Invinsible, but still lovely!

Melati, are you sure that is Illicit Affair?

Fence.. I think so.. unless they sold me something else lol!! which might be missed id, also could be because of our cold climate its not changing color yet?
Will somebody please post another Illicit's picture to compare? thanks.

I agree with what was said about Inniswood. It has thrived for me with several hours of mid day sun. It goes through such interesting color changes through the year. I don't think its like Paradigam that much because Paradigam seems to have a shine to it. Inniswood is more corrigated and more matt looking.

I haven't had trouble with Island Charm either and maybe that's because it too is in some mid day sun.

Mel, mine is in a lot of sun, too, so that could also explain why mine is so much lighter. You have some really beautiful hostas, I've enjoyed seeing your posts!

Melati--your 'Inniswood' is convincing me that I do need to replace mine!!!!
You do know how to 'enable' don't you!!!;o)

Such gorgeous Hosta pics. Each time I see these Hosta alphabets I add to my list of wants. Your gorgeous Hostas make me want to spend more money!
Daniel

Fence... glad you enjoy my pictures.. thank you for the nice compliment :)

Janice.. you do need Inniswood LOL!! he's a beauty and a fast grower.

Melati,here is a pic of my Illicit Affair. I have 2 of these,and this is a small plant,probably no wider than 12 inches,and about 6 inches tall. Also,it is more golden than the pic shows,and this is after a rain last night. Phil

Thanks Phil for the pic, I think I have the correct id :)
