June in the month of June

10 years ago

Hosta June looking very Royal this first day of June. Love this hosta and I'm very much looking forward to it's 5th year of maturity. This is the 2nd year it has come up in my garden. Notice H. First Frost trying to ease in the photo lower left corner. Gary

Beautiful Junes you have, Gary. Nice bed they are in too.
Glad you included the name of the other hosta, because one day it might be asked of you, what IS that hosta in the corner! :)

My picture is of Paul's Glory and June almost in June, not quite, will have to do for now since I took so many photos in May I am worn out.....but now everything is sprouting scapes and opening blooms, and the heart of every hosta begs to be appreciated, so I am bizzzzzzzyyyy.

Gary and Moc, Your Junes look so beautiful. I am still new at hostas so most of mine are in their 2nd or 3rd year. Here is my June taken today. She grows super fast. I got her in a 1 G pot last August. Now she has doubled the size (almost 3 feet wide)! She got several hours of afternoon sun so color is lighter.

Myrle, You're my kind of woman! I too took large hunks of sod from the fronts of my flower beds for more room. The body is slowing down so my beds don't change as much as they used to. Just how much of your land have you turned into garden? Does your H mind you making more beds for plants? Is he helpful in the garden? You have lived there quite a while so what we see as a finished product I know took years to accomplish. Wonderful pictures as always. Connie

Hi everyone! The BLUE SEEDS are in the mail! I didn't quite make it to the post office in time yesterday, so they went in the mail this morning. Thanks for all of the interesting seeds that you all sent in! Please post here when you get your seeds, so that I know that they arrived safely. ihana, no big deal! Just as long as they get here, that is all that really matters. For anyone who is interested, the color of the month for July is RED and Bonnie is hosting that swap right here. I also thought that I would post the remaining schedule for the Color of the Month Swaps. Here it is: July -- RED - Will be hosted by Bonnie (highalttransplant) August -- PURPLE - Will be hosted by Linda (lindaruzicka) September -- BLACK - Will be hosted by Janine (janine) October -- ORANGE - Will be hosted by Lynn (carsons_mimi) November -- BIG RAINBOW - Will be hosted by Penny (cybermeowz) December -- SILVER & GOLD - Will be hosted by Jeanne (sandlapper rose) Thanks everyone for a great swap!

Moccasinlanding, it's so funny your June is with my other favorite. Just thought I'd share a pic of my Pauls Glory with Lakeside Cupcake and a young Dancing Queen, also with a little Solomon Seal for good measure. LOL! @ the heart of every hosta begs to be appreciated. Gary

Vivian, your June is fabulous. My hosta garden is only two years old as well so the same is true for me, I'm rather new to this all but I really enjoy it. Gary

Vivian, your June is amazing. From one gallon to 3 feet is a big jump in one year. It still has its blue margins too. Beautiful shape.

We are all three probably two or three years into this hosta addiction, you know. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well....so I've thrown my heart into it, and haven't regretted it for a minute.

(Excuse me, I have a bluebird trying to catch a spider on my window muntins!...don't want it to be hurt....its babies need to be fed...) In this nest box....

Lovely Gary, love your garden bed.

Viv your June is big and pretty.

When I moved 3 years ago I divided her and put some in sun and some in shade. I have had June for 6 years.

Yes June is my favorite,

I've been thinking about doing an entire bed of just June. She even grows in my yucky heat of the day sun garden. I've started adding sun loving perennials around her. What's not to love? WW

You are so right wilderness what is not to like as far as the June family . I have a bed of June family plants and all are as nice as the other. I have two June and both are completely different in color tone, one gets more light then the other but both are just in their second year so not super large yet. I can hardly wait to see them large!

Two Junes:
1. Young June...gets a lot of sun. You can see the contrast in the emerging leaves

2. Only filtered sun...keeps color in this location and seems to be growing at a good rate

One of my favorites !!! There are some fabulous specimens presented here. McTavish, you never cease to amaze. :)

Eclecticottage . I would also throw in my vote that you have June Fever.

Here is my June on 05/30/2013 . . . still a youngling, but growing up nicely.
