Hosta Walk Garden - 2015
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 More2015 Top Gun Hosta
Comments (113)HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!!! I realize I left this thread up in the air for quite a while. Please forgive me for my absence... If I had to start a new hosta garden from scratch, I would have no hesitation in buyibng each and every beautiful hosta offered here as a top gun! The funny thing is that I own more than half of them already! and want all the rest that I don't! Lol. Thank you to all who participated. I appreciate your input so much and I especially loved all the marvellous pictures of hostas that are great performers in your gardens. My rather short Want List (which often gets deleted, then restarted, lol) had a good handful of hostas on it that were submitted here. Irawon, I appreciated the size information you included as you remembered I have space restrictions. :-) Don, no, I don't have a Dick Ward - and I can't help but notice how well your hostas are growing in your Colorado gardens!! What a difference two years makes! It will be another exciting spring as the rest of the hostas leap towards maturity, eh? A 2nd short list materialized with Dancing Queen Luna Moth War Paint Well.......I've taken enough of everyone's time.... Time to announce the 2015 Top Gun Winner. This year there are three.....because it was just too difficult to choose and two hours later...even with short lists, I kept waffling..... Then remembered Sherry's suggestion and thought...why not? ;-) 1. PISTACHE - submitted by Vanessa! I think I'll place it beside Spilt Milk and see if they compliment one another. (Both with sporadic thin white streaks.) 2. EMERALD RUFF CUT - submitted by Laurie/Peren.all (texture, shape, size and ruffled leaves) 3. DANCING QUEEN - submitted by Donna/BC/Irawon (a double whammy: just can't ignore Donna's beautiful pics and passion for this one, and BC's photo with the dark background had me mesmerized) Dave's War Paint photo has placed it on top of Want List! Thanks again, Folks! :-) I'll be showing/introducing the new babies sometime in May/June no doubt!...See MoreHosta Category 2015
Comments (13)Wow. I was thinking that poor Paula is probably happy that the Hosta Alphabet is almost completed because it was a lot of work. But now you want to add more categories! Way to go. I'm happy about that! One of my favorite jokes in your Hosta Alphabet is the one where if you want to see your family, just turn off the router! How true! In my area we can have a lot of power outages. My family comes out of the woodwork then and they haven't got a clue as to what to do with themselves! LOL Suggestion for categories: flowers--buds and open....See MoreHosta Blue 2015
Comments (52)Sunnywood , I would love to edit with names but McTavish could do a better job at this then me. I got far too many hosta at the same time and some of the tags got lost and all snow covered grounds now. Myrle knows where each and every one of my plants are and only a few she didn't know where they are either. Sorry. I got to the point of just loving what they look like and not actually the names now . I just have no more room or energy to start new beds. Never say never though ha ha...See Morehostas_for_barb

Rosedale Golden Goose...slowly showing its true colours - I'm anticipating larger uniform leaves this year.
This is how it looked in late 2014, new addition

8 years agoRaspberry Sundae...new baby in 2013, reappearing this past spring as a "mini" version of itself. I forced it out of dormancy during winter of 2014 - I guess it didn't like it - lucky it survived. Hope it rebounds this spring.
It looked pretty good growing inside the house!

8 years agoRegal Splendour - new in 2015. It will live in a pot for now...but would it ever take off in the ground, wouldn't it now? Sigh...lottery...cash=acreage...sigh.
All the photos of RS on this forum that were ever posted take the credit for my purchase. Regal Splendor hosta-forum-owners, take a bow!

Does anyone else have Regal Tot? Would love to see others!

8 years agoRelevant to this thread of "Rs", as well as a couple of other recent threads concerning sports: here's a grouping of three Rainforest Sunrise last summer before I removed the all-green sport from the one on the right. I posted about that last summer, with pictures, after following Ken's excellent instructions.... The green one (I call him "Sport") is in a pot overwintering in my garage, and I'll plant him in the ground this spring. But interestingly, by later in the summer, I noticed a few very small green leaves shooting up from where I removed Sport. So I guess I didn't get it all, and I'll have to do some more surgery.
