I love it! What a great idea - very creative. Hosta la Vista - - ha!!! I really don't have thoughts for your food/decorations, but if you do a search on 'plant markers' you'll come up with lots. I was going to post some links here for you from my search, but there are zillions and I'm not sure what type you'd like. 80-100 couples - - - wow, that's gonna be some hosta garden! Great, great idea. (Hey - I'm turning 50 TOMORROW - sure wish someone had thought of that for me! LoL!) Suzieque

Wow, beautiful colour on yours! When I first got mine (I think someone shared it with me) I remember thinking, "What a dud". That was the first couple of years. Then the colour in the center began to lighten and the contrast with the edge was more distinct, it got bigger, and now it is one of my favourites!

I understand what you mean..go to the lower left corner..then backspace and the pic would delete while creating or even after posting..didn't work today..in pic 1 Autumn's on the left and sensitive (I think) on the right..I wonder if my "hardy" ferns from Kmart could be Royals?..cinnamon ferns are tall..my neighbor has some..that stand of ferns at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens is huge..I'm writing this from Houzz grrr..got on the old format several times today but the pics are fuzzy..so chaotic dealing with Houzz.. I found this pic which I think is similar to mine..when I saw mine I thought "leave it..it's different than the purple"..can you see why the leaves remind me of the hardy begonia? I found

Thank you everyone for your nice comments. Hosta is a common vegetable in Japan: "----Hostas are edible when young and sheltering when older. ... In fact, the Japanese have been eating hostas safely for centuries. Known as urui, they're commonly boiled, fried in tempura or eaten raw. With a flavor reminiscent of lettuce and asparagus, they can easily be substituted in salads---" All varieties of hostas are edible, of course I would not eat the very expensive ones. Hostas are tough, the more you cut the more they grow. FOAS, becareful, I understand that hostas can be toxic to dogs and cats (but not to deer). To me, they taste like asparagus, and also reminiscent of endive without the bitterness. Pleasantly mild and tender. So wonderful in salads. Varieties = good health. dcarch
