Lol, Ann Landers used to get letters from women complaining that their MIL would clean their house when she visited. I say have her visit weekly! Do you have people helping you, Paula?

Only one H - new this year - Hans - a more vigorous sport of Andrew.

A few more

No pictures of Honey Pie or Hudson Bay, but here's Halcyon, planted 2016 (picture taken in September):

peren, sometimes I wish I could hit a wow button...your Hanky Panky is gorgeous!

Thank you Karin! I feel the same about so many of yours. Hillbilly Blues caught my attention and I am really liking Hans (yours and Donna's).

peren,

Hillbilly Blues also caught the attention of an army of slugs...I will put it back in a pot and surround it with slug pellets in spring. It is a very nice hosta and I want to have it safe on one of my wooden stairs.

Halcyon, the first hosta I bought, probably 25 yo.

Sherry..love that blue pot..how big?..about 6 inches?..

Hudson Bay below. Some day I'm going to love this hosta.

Nicholsworth, my blue pot is around 6". Its stashed away in the shed right now, would be a pain to get a true measurement. Most of my potted hosta are in blue pots, I like the blue with all of the green.

Sherry

Donna....nice Hans!! Has me interested!

kathy....how old is Hovercraft? Thinking of getting one.

peren, awesome Hanky Panky. I've only been able to get one decent picture of mine in 3 years. Looks pretty sad most of the time.

Here are my LITTLE H pics (I'm not happy houzz!!)

Hanky Panky (in better times)

Halcyon

Happy Dayz

Heat Wave

Honey Pie

Hoosier Harmony

Sherry..I guessed right!..just a conclusion estimating the size of the hosta..blue is beautiful in gardens..love lots of colors but blue is my favorite..

Hanky Panky, love this coloration early May.

Hadspen Blue far left, brightest blue in my garden. Good comparison to Prarie Sky-front right, and Abiqua DG-right rear.

Heartsong and Hallelujah, two more beauties that weren't even on my radar before. This why I love the alphabet.

What handsome hostas today, I added a few more on to my wish list. I just have a couple H hostas for you today.

Some real stunners today! Sherrygirl, that halcyon is breathtaking. I've had a halcyon for several years - it was here when we bought the place. But it's always been an underachiever. If it comes back this spring, I've got another spot in mind for it. But having it approach any of the halcyons here is a pipe dream, I'm afraid.

Only one reasonable "H" this year.

Hirao Majesty

I always need to go to the library to check the spelling of Hirao lol.

Great alphabet this year!

I so agree! The alphabet is fantastic this year. I’m adding a lot of names to my list... and getting some good garden ideas too.

And Paula- the laughs are great... just what I’ve been needing.

I have no "H", but I love the humor and all the pics. It's like a daily shot of fun! It's like the advent calendar of hostas!

What a fabulous photo, mountainy!

Here are my Hs

ZKathy LOL no no one helps here which is why I want to hire a crew. My son lives here and he keeps up with mowing the yard but that is about it. I am feeling much better so much so the Dr has released me to return to work Monday on light duty. My reports have come back so good. My nodes are aok. I still have to see the kemo man on Tuesday so onward I go. Thank you all for asking. Loving the hostas. I still have one that is up from last summer.

Peren, that pic of Holy Mouse Ears in bloom is an all-time classic hosta pic. Seriously, that should be THE standard HME photo. Nice work.

That's great news, Paula. Thanks for keeping us updated.

Some of the "H" I've raised.

So glad to hear you are progressing well Paula! My son is not keen to help me in the garden either unfortunately.

My Hanky Panky (purchased in 2016) showed strong signs of virus in 2017. Because of the color changes this hosta goes through, the virus can be difficult to identify. But it so clearly looked infected, out to the garbage it went! Peren.all your Hanky Panky's are stunning. They couldn't be prettier! Thanks for the seasonal change photos. I love seeing all of them.

Happy Dayz looks like a lovely hosta. I have discovered from my hosta list that I actually have one! No picture unfortunately. I also thought Forbidden Fruit looked wonderful in the Hosta F thread, and then I discovered I actually have a young one! I think "no more hosta shopping this year" until I get to grips with what I actually have. Yeah, right---like that's going to happen! LOL

Only a couple of young H hosta photos for me:

Halycon

Hans (quite a small one)

Thanks for all those wonderful photos everyone! It's so lovely to see them!

Paula that really is great news, you go girl!

sunnywood loving that Hercules how long has it been in your garden?

Kathy & mbug I find Honey Pie very appealing. Happy yours finally took off Kathy

Karin what a shame the slugs found Hillbilly Blues. I know you have limited in ground space and you gave some of it to HB for good reason. Nasty slugs.

Beverly I am kicking myself for not getting Hallelujah when I had the chance. Very, very nice.

sandyslopes what a cutie Holly's Dazzler is.

mbug we all know you will master Hanky Panky. Thank you and newhostalady for the kind words.

Denis Hirao Majesty is gorgeous, the plant and the pic.

don_in_colorado what an incredibly sweet thing to say, thank you.

This is a great alphabet so far. Too many beauties to mention but all the Hadspen Blue, Hollywood Lights, Happy Dayz, Hans, Hyuga Urajiro, Hunter's Ridge...Thanks to all.

Paula that is wonderful news! I hope that spring comes soon, sun and warmth are good for body and soul.

Here is another mother left alone in the garden. My son lives not far away but has to take care of his own house and garden...

old_dirt, great picture of Hudson Bay, I will get it soon from my belgian friend :-) Your pic shows why I want it...

Peren l planted Hercules in 2013. It really starting to get big. Almost doubled in size last year!

Paula, good news, stay strong!

As I too am starting to lose my grip on which plants I have, I decided it was finally time to update my list and get everything entered on a spreadsheet.

400 entries later and still a way to go I discovered at least 15 beginning H.

Sadly only one pic from last year.

Heatwave

Anybody growing Hoosier Dome? I finally got a single division last year.

I love it's form and can't wait for it to mature.

Dave

Your only picture Dave is a beauty! Love Heatwave! Love yours too mbug!

Oops forgot to add this one. I didn't get any good pictures of Hoosier Dome last year this is from 2016. It and Piedmont have made this path impossible.

I think Mctavish9 lives in hosta wonderland.
