Oh yes, good choices! And do I see a couple of Coral Bells (huchera) in there too? : )

chris

Yes, one Heuchera and the other is Heucherella

EVERY single one of them. green with a yellow center...

was that on purpose???

lol

ken

Looks like you hit up John's again! lol

Torchlight is green with yellow/white edge and red petioles. I don't see that one? Are you sure that's the one you got?

Exactly I hit up Johns again; lovely place especially after rain.

Hippieindenial (sorry, I don't know your real name)you are absolutely right, it isn't Torchlight it is Thunderbolt.

Ken, I suppose I have a natural bias, but from what I have read on here, they are all good ones.

Hi Paula,

They are all good ones! And getting all dark green with yellow in the centre would just be an excuse to go get more to even them out! LOL That's how I justify it!

Have you ever been to Strickland Perennials? They have a few hostas and a wide variety of perennials....they are located 5467 Middle Road, Bowmanville. Another place I go to once or twice a year is Lamrock's Country Garden in Port Perry. I put their link below.

Are there any other garden places in your area that you like?

Here is a link that might be useful: Lamrock's Country Garden

Very nice collection you've got. I've started collecting heuchera and their family since last year, I don't have nearly as many of them as daylilies and hostas, but I'm slowly increasing my collection, another crazy I acquired for now two years...lol! Is the heucherella in your pic Brass Lantern, and the heuchera Fire Chief? Just curious if I'm right. I just got Brass Lantern yesterday, along with a few others, and it looks similar to mine, but I see yours has the copper colored new leaves coming up. I'm really liking these plants, they look so nice with the hostas.

Karen

Awesome haul, Paula! You picked some beauties!

And if you're expecting this group to teach you restraint, you are on the wrong forum!

Yeah, nice haul!
If we were all drunks, this forum would NOT be an AA meeting, it'd be the BAR!

Haha, Melissa, so true!

Paula b gardener-love the hostas you got-almost got Paradigm today but didn't...now I'm kicking myself for not getting it!!!

...went to just 'look' and.. -- good one - lol.

Paul

Ya, the just went to look always ends up with a new plant jumping into the car with me going home.

Karen

Yeah, Paul has a point. No self-respecting hostaholic goes to just look.

Even if you go with no money and no plastic... you'll go back to get those that you just cannot do without!

Excellent choices!

And what were the Heuchera and Heucherella?

Alexa

Hi,

Yes, I have been to Lamrock's; they are nice people in fact everyone that I have met that grows hostas have been nice. There was a closed sign up but they were out in their garden, so I drove up and asked if they were going to be open at all. They weren't because they were prepping for a busload of 50 people the next day. Anyway, he asked if he could help me and I said that I was there to browse and that I am a 'hosta person'- lol. It just popped out of my mouth, too funny.
They said well so ahead up to the greenhouse and have a look around...$50 later.
I have been to Strickland's, too. There are a few smaller places but they aren't really into hostas (at least none of the different types). Vandermeer usually has a pretty good selection.
The heuchera is 'Autumn Leaves' and the heurcherella is Brass Lantern so Karen, you are correct.

Now I have to start another thread with today's haul; but I am done now...

Cheers,
Paula
