I have two photos for L. Little Town Flirt and Little Treasure, both have been good growers.

Saija, I've been enjoying your photos...your collection is really growing!

Connie May, I'm going to be on the look-out for London Fog. It's a very unusual and eye-catching plant!

Looks like I got a lot of new Ls last year and many of them need to grow up a little, but here's what might be worth showing.

Lemon Zinger

Little Treasure

Lovely L's. Saija Lady Guinevere is quite nice. Sherry Little Treasure always gets me.

peren, I need a love button for your Lemon Lime! It is gorgeous :-)

Thanks Mae and yes I'm hostaholic, LOL

Peren.all. Your Lemon Lime is amazing. You have so many mature hostas, lucky you.

Thanks Karin! It is such a great performer isn't it. Leather Sheen, longipes sparsa and especially Love Song are wonderful. Love Song looks so happy in it's pot!

Beth your Liberty is lovely. Mine has had a tough life. After it was planted a squirrel dug it out of the ground and it could have been a couple of days before I noticed. I hope it takes a leap soon.

sunnywood Leather and Lace is a gorgeous plant. Lederhosen always looks great every time I see it!

There was such a lot added while I was posting.

Omg, Laurie, Lemon Lime is taking over the world!

Sherry

Loving everyone's L's..Luna Moth catches my eye..I've always admired them..

Saija..I was thinking the same thing that Mae said..your collection is growing!

peren..Lemon Lime reminds me of flowing water..I like it..

Leaping Lizard

Luna Moth. Purchase inspired from the Alphabet.

Liberty. Still a baby

Love Pat

Saiji- I have fallen in love with Lady Guinevere

Sunnywood- Linda Sue has caught my attention as well.

I agree that we should have more icon buttons that express our appreciation of all the gorgeous hosta that are being posted.

LOL Sherry! Lemon Lime is taking up a lot of real estate. I do need to rescue June from it but the colour and form of it makes me happy. It puts out a really nice display of flowers too (not so much in the horrible drought year we had) normally.

nicholsworth you have enough room to have a nice little stream of it!

Steve and Karin Lizard Lick is a very nice one!

Mae your Lucky Mouse is so cute!

Sherrygirl and Sunnywood have some beautiful hostas, Little Town Flirt, Little treasure, Leather and Lace and Lederhosen are just beautiful!

I have only few hostas in this category, Leather Sheen, dark green beauty..

..and Little Sunspot

Paula, the kitties on the roof, how cute!

ConnieMay, beautiful London Fog. Peren.all yours in spring is also impressive. I might want this one.

Laura, nice Leather Sheen. I'd like to find a really dark hosta, just because I don't have one yet. :-)

adding: Shadow and sunnywood, you've both managed to keep Loyalist alive. Good for you!

Liberty in May ...I might have to move this one, which I am nervous to do since it might set it back, and it takes so long to get big... but so worth it!

Liberty in July

Little Miss Sunshine gets more yellow as the season goes on. This is mid-June.

Luna Moth, was new in 2017.

Mbug, all your pictures are lovely - makes me anxious for spring and here we are just expecting our first major snowfall.

Liberty

Lemontini

Limey Lisa

Little White Lines (I think)

.....opps, forgot one

Loyalist

Lady Guinevere and Leading Lady just made the list.

Great plants everyone.

Again loads of L's in my collection but very few pic's.

Note to self, must try to take more this year!

By far and away my star in the collection.

Liberty

Love Song started to show it's true form last year with a couple of huge leaves.

Not the best of pic's

A very new Laser Game

Today's weather, the first snow of 2019

Dave

Beautiful hostas, everyone! Lemon Ice, still in the same pot, has turned into the beautiful Hosta that I see outside my kitchen window, which was my initial desire for having a Hosta garden.

a beautiful view Kathy!..I love the stone steps and the terraces..your Lemon Ice looks perfect..

Just a few old L's. I think i need a Liberty!

Love Pat

Little Sunspot

Lancifolia

Thanks mbug. Your Luna Moth is fantastic!

So many more gorgeous Liberty's!

Barb your Lemontini looks luscious!

kathy Lemon Ice is such a bright spot in your great looking garden!

Only one L for me. Liberty. It takes a few years to bring out its beauty, but when it does----wow! Love everyone's Liberty's!

I love this hosta so I decided to purchase a second one for "backup." Unfortunately it rotted. I plan to purchase another!

NHL....stunning Liberty!

Newhostalady, not only is your liberty stunning but your garden is meticulous!

newhostalady..I love your Liberty!..I completely agree with oursteelers - your garden is meticulous :-)

Yes and yes on both counts!

Dave and NHL, your Liberty's are so perfect looking ! ! ! Awesome!

Nicholsworth, I know I've said before...I love how your Bloodgood maples, with their sparse shady growth, add such a nice photogenic splash of color around your house. Looks perfect!

Beautiful 'Lemon Ice' zkathy. Mine always seems to get fried in the hot spring sun, before the trees leaf out. It never looks nice, so the only pic I have is this one from 2014, when it looked it's best.

Lemon Ice

newhostalady, what a perfect Liberty specimen! Gorgeous.

thanks StevePA!..any space where the house casts shade to move Lemon Ice?..just a thought..

Really, StevePA, put an umbrella over it! I moved Lemon Ice to the shade of the house until the leaves came out then it lived under the crabapple tree outside my kitchen window all season. It does green up some, but stays nice all season.

Sorry 'Lemon Ice', you're not special enough to get one of the few, prime, spots on my property. You're a pretty vigorous grower though, so I could put you in a shadier spot, I suppose.

Nice Ls everyone! These are the only L pics I have, although I do have a few additional Ls.

peren- is that just one Lemon Lime or a grouping?

Beautiful Liberties... if mine doesn’t start to look a little better this year, I might have to start over.

Luna Moth:

Lemon Lime:

Love Pat:

windymess I originally planted 5 small 1 gallon pots many years ago and have done nothing to them since.

peren- thanks, that’s good to know because I have a bunch of them planted along a path, and I do want them to grow together and fill in, but if that had been one single plant I was going to to get nervous...lol, a bit like when I ordered clausa var. clausa... then realized it was going to be waaaay too much for the space. I gave that clausa to my neighbor, who has a large, shady area that needs fillIng.

I realize though I’ll probably have to keep the LLs in check at some point, but that’s a long way off.

It will be beautiful along your path! I will look forward to seeing the result over the years.

Lol I can understand clausa var. clausa not being for everyone. I love it but it does spread - endlessly. At least you can still enjoy it from a distance. Do you have visitation rights? The flowers are quite fantastic and the fall foliage colour is really nice too.

Oh yes, I can visit anytime... it’s right next door and we’re all good friends. I’m sure I can even get a bit back if I ever want some. I do love it in bloom!
