Bill- Hosta, to paraphrase Ken from this forum ....will live on the driveway with little or no soil.. forever ...the only way to lose a hosta..is pay $100 for a rare one..and it will die on the way home.... In general, hosta grow very well with little help. They like some morning sun if they can it, grow well in light shade, but in deep shade most will struggle to thrive. Water is the one thing that seems to help the most for my zone 4 garden - leaves are bigger and more of them with regular water. Here is a pic of Gold Standard after years of ignoring and again after regular watering Check out the link below for hostaholic gardens from the 2010 American Hosta Society garden tours - quite a variety of garden styles. BTW, the 2011 tours will be in New England this June. They rotate and it will likely be 10 years before back to New England again. Bill, this is a very active forum, especially as things get a growing. Welcome. Paul ps Phil, sorry for highjacking your thread. Here is a link that might be useful: AHS Garden Tours 2011 pics

Does anyone have Fireworks - I bought one a few years back, very young single eye and it didn't survive the first winter. I haven't seen one since. I felt it was very aptly named, particularly when in bloom. It was upright and reminded me of a miniature 4th of July skyrocket with green and white spray and purple stars on top. Les

Rhino Blue... all all blue Rhino Hide. This is going into in my slug garden. A mature division of Rhinestone Cowboy I picked up at Wade & Gatton. Royal Tapestry. This picture doesn't do it justice, I've taken tons of pictures but can't seem to capture the yellow margins on this one. The margins on this one are a nice creamy yellow. A real standout already!

Yesterday's Memories

Jen, your Yesterday's Memories and mine appear different. YM is a sport of Squash Casserole and should have similar habit.

LOL, that is because the one I had posted above was really Journey's End. I am trying to organize all my photos, it's been a daunting task. Maybe I need to have less hosta?

Here is Yesterday's Memories.

Lol, Jen I know the feeling....my too weaknesses of adding more hosta and a swiss cheese memory don't go well together.

LOL, I must be learning something here... I saw the first pic of YM and though "huh, that looks like Journey's End, no need for two that look the same."
