Comments (3)Hi Marchela, I know you said the post is closed, but I just thought I'd check, I would love to trade for silver threads and golden needles. I have quite a few minis that I could possibly get an eye or two from, I have an eye of cameo if you didn't get that already. Thanks, Catrina...See MoreHosta D 2019 ...

Comments (40)First I must say, this is an amazing group of hostas! I want to say, I loved everyone’s Montana Aureomarginata.....this is obviously one I must add to my collection. Tsugajunkie, yours is so huge, I am wondering how old it is. I also loved everyone’s Mourning Doves and Munchin Fires. MD has such a lovely soft coloring and MF has my favorite coloring, yellow/green. Tiddisolo, your Marrakech has such beautiful color, and your Magic Island is so different from mine, makes me wonder if I really have one. Mine is young and in shade, maybe that’s the difference??? connieMae, that Miss Tokyo has amazing color and size....and such a lovely shot of your garden! zkathy, looove your Mystic Star. The color is so rich beth, your Marilyn Monroe with those purple legs and white underside of the leaves is a showstopper! Also love your minis. Gotta get some mae, your Moonstruck has lovely soft coloring and Mourning Dove has a great leaf shape and color Saija, Marrakech and Mieke both have the yellow/light green coloring that I like so well sunnywood, you have so many Ms! I particularly like Magic Fires streaked leaves and Mississippi Delta.....wow that blue! peren.all, love the blue and green colors of those leaves on Maple Leaf. I counted 4 all green leaves, is it reverting to something? Miss Linda Smith with her purple legs and blue/green/ gray colored leaves is stunning! Beverly, I love the subtle color of the leaf edge on Manana. Your Mojito has such a soft, soft color. I love that Laura, I love seeing your MA unfurling and later in the season. Those progression shots are really helpful. Your Marrakech is lovely but even lovelier is that garden shot. Karin, you have so many as well! I really like the streaked leaves on Masquerade, awesome. Also, love those crazy mixed up leaves on Medusa. Is that a mini? sherry, even with bird poop, your MA has perfect shape and coloring. stevePA, the color on that Marilyn has me drooling.....does it hold that color throughout the season? I gotta get it! Your Moonlight Sonata is such a gorgeous color connieMay, both of your darling hostas are on my list! Yours are such lovely health specimens. old_dirt, your Majesty is majestic! Looks related to Liberty....is it? Your Minuteman has those lovely dark green shiny leaves. I had one once, not sure if it’s still there because I planted a Patriot next to it. One died and I can’t tell which! Duh!...See More

4 years agoI haven't really gotten attached to minis . . . yet.
But I did plant a pot. Some of these will be small, but they're not there yet. I already posted them further along. Probably in F or C, so here they are just coming up.
Clockwise from the top Fantasy Island, Coconut Custard, Pixie Vamp, Cookie Crumbs, Fruit Loop and Titanium in middle.
Here's the other pic so you don't have to hunt for it.

4 years agoMy second try at minis in pots. I'm already skeptical they'll come back because I may have done what Ken tells us not to.... killed them with kindness! I have given them water when the soil is sooo cold. Yeah, I know, but they seemed so dry.... We'll soon see if they are alive.

4 years agoI got excited when I remembered I had one mini photo. My 6yo granddaughter and I made a fairy garden last summer and included Pandora’s Box. She actually asked me last week if we were going to work on the fairy garden again this summer. Her parents aren’t really into gardening, it’s cool she is interested.

4 years agoThe minis here are so cute! I love the arrangements in the pots.
Sandyslopes, you and I have the same plant stand only mine has orchids on it! Your minis look great on it.
Peren.all your minis are not minis, but giants! LOL
Let's see what I have to show you:
BME in the center. As the season progressed, it almost got swallowed up by the surrounding hostas!
Fairy Dust. New last year.
Lakeside Down Sized
Munchkin Fire
The grandchildren are as adorable as these minis, Sherry and Nicholsworth! Sherry, introducing your grandchild to gardening is wonderful!

4 years agoI had an 18" diameter ceramic pot of minis which I had to break down for moving purposes. The minis are now individually planted in fabric grow pots. But here is the ceramic pot before the move.

Sparkler, much smaller than it was two years ago. I guess I’ll be checking it out soon.
I could post all the hostas that look like minis in my garden, but y’all would call me on that. But for a little entertainment take a look at these two pics of Stiletto, one from the spring and one from the fall.
On the left, that’s got to be a seedling, right?
peren, your minis are ridiculously big!

4 years agoPeren.all, your minis are over-achievers! My goodness what are you feeding those things?
When I first started with hostas, I knew nothing of minis. My introduction to them (and now a bona fide obsession) started with a gift of several from a forum member. I blame him! But like peren.all, I say the more the merrier. They are easy to squeeze in. Well mine are! I think peren.all's may not be squeezed so easily. Here's a minibowl I made last year definitely was inspired by someone else here.
Venusta, Blonde Elf, and Bill's Dress Blue along with their friend a dwarf Hinoki cypress.
Minis are so cute I can't even stand it! I need more.

4 years agoWow, I am really enjoying all these minis. I really have a lot of so-called minis, smalls, etc. because I didn't have the space for bigger guys. My so-called mini, Appletini, exploded into a huge plant that I had to move out of the 18" minis pot and into a pot of its own.
