Hosta K 2015
I did get a tablet for Christmas and then I found out it was the gift for 5, 6, 7 and 8 year olds.

Comments (17)The hosta walk looks fantastic...and look at all that room! I'm so envious... Empress Wu really is making a statement - I think she is saying that you may need to re-route the pathway because you won't be able to get by soon!...See MoreBlueStar RCS 15k-22k revisited 2015
Comments (4)The 22k and 18k burner heads are identical. The former has more power because it's brass orifice behind the knobs has a slightly larger hole to allow more gas to flow through. You could theoretically drill a slightly larger hole into the orifice on the 18k burner. It would have to be a VERY precise drilling though bc the difference between the two is barely noticeable to the naked eye. Disclaimer: I I haven't done it nor would I recommend it bc the calibration would never be identical to the factory drilled ones. And I'm sure doing it would void your warranty and possibly your home owners insurance. Thus, what might be better is searching online for a speciality part retailer that sells the larger orifice....See MoreHosta A 2015
Comments (77)The grouch is still a beloved muppet to this day..... Kathy, that last photo is a zinger!! I really get a perspective of that hill but more particularly, each hosta is highlighted.

Comments (43)Wide Brim on the 3rd of May It's a beautiful plant but like yours Denis the edges burn and go crisp really quickly becoming a complete disappointment. I'm going to put it behind the house in heavy shade which may help hold it back till after the frosts. Then it will just get some early morning sun. If that doesn't work then I'm afraid it's days are numbered. Dave...See More

This is another view that is not as dark

8 years agoOops, I have another. Katie Q is a great plant. Not a very good pic, but you can see the colors in midsummer are very nice.

8 years agoPeren.all you Krossa Regal is fabulous. Mine is growing between a large blue spruce, a lilac and my neighbor's Old, sky high Norway maple. What other plant would survive back there ?
These three hosta above are behind the long, lower branch of the blue spruce adjacent to the lilac to the right shown below. You can see some of the lower branches of the neghbor's maple peaking through. Francee grows there too, but in front.\

8 years agoKrossa Regals are gorgeous. Love that one. These pics make me embarassed to post some of mine. I dream of the day they all look that good!
Krossa Regal in spring. On an angle from above, so its bigger than it looks. One of my faves.
Kaleidochrome. Not sure why I bought it, the streaked ones are not really my taste. But it has done well.
Key Lime Pie. An easy one to grow I think.
kikutii, such elegant leaves
Key West. I am learning patience with this one. Sloooowwww growing.

Couldn't find a picture of Krossa Regal, Katie Q has been going backwards for a few years and Kaleidachrome can''t make up it's mind! Knockout suffered root rot but that seems to be on the road to recovery, fingers crossed for this year ! you get the picture.
It follows that Ks are not my favourotes at the moment.
However, going through my unlabeled pictures for last year I found

There's hope yet.

8 years agoPaula, Your jokes are giving me a good laugh!
This first one was 3/4 eaten by voles. You can see the tidy job I did with the chicken wire - ha! Kalamazoo was the size of Scallion Pancakes (next to it) in previous years.
Late September often the last to disappear.

8 years agolast modified: 8 years agoOlga's opinion...I posted your pic on my FB page and asked her what she thought it was, Hostahosta. Assuming it is Tobacco Road, it's a very, very good-growing one (Even being a slow grower). TR has been a failure in tissue culturing, basically. As misships go, I guess it could be worse : )
