Paula, I didn’t fall for it this year!

Halcyon is steady all season, May thru September progression, Ripple Effect, grown in hot part sun, 5 hours afternoon sun.

Heather Hill for first two, then Hovercraft for next two.

Hans, which may have died on me this year. Heat Wave, an awesome guy.

Gardenchick nice recovery on Holy Mouse Ears, my Praying Hands took awhile to get going, it seams to like more sun then I originally gave it.

HIGH SOCEITY

HAPPY DAYZ

my Praying Hands took awhile to get going, it seams to like more sun then I originally gave it.

Beth: does Praying Hands get flowers? If so, maybe you can post a pic of them in the P thread.

Happy Dayz is simply wonderful from the moment it unfurls until it goes dormant. I have 2 and bought another for my MIL last year. It can grow in part to full sun here in 7b.

Sunny, I love all of yours. That Happy Dayz looks great!

Joc, great Hoosier Dome specimen!

Beth, Harpoon is new to me, quite lovely. And I’m glad I already ordered Hudson Bay, else your photo would have sent me shopping again. Wonderful!

Halcyon

Humpback Whale- I moved it in more sun. I will monitor to make sure the noon sun is alright . But so far , seems to be doing the trick

I bought Hudson Bay- I didn't get a picture of it. Beth - nice Hudson Bay. how old is yours? I am just anxious to see it get to its mature size!

Paula things that make you go hmmm and the menu is great. That cat really gets around.

Saija that Hydon Sunset has such dark flowers, What a wonderful contrast with the foliage.

Beth Harpoon is terrific.

jocl17 & sunnywood very nice Hoosier Dome.

gardenchick pity you don't care too much for HU because it is doing well for you. I remember the recovery of HME, what a journey it has had. Looks happy.

utog loving Hovercraft.

sunnywood Hollywood lights gets to me every time I see it.

Shadow we were posting at the same time. Great to see your Humpback Whale. I wanted to get it planted but space would not allow.

Halcyon

Hanky Panky

Her Eyes Were Blue 1st year. Sorry about the dirt on the leaves.

Hands Up just planted. This is the third time I have planted it. The first 2 times a chipmunk burrowed right beside and killed them.

Holy Mouse Ears

Paula..that outlet is shocking!..😂

I have Halcyon and Honeybells..and not a good pic of either!..both pics from May 17 2020..

Honeybells is above the Fire Island with Palace Purple heuchera on the right..I love Honeybells..has a pretty vase shape and wonderful fragrant blooms..

a reverting June with an up and coming Halcyon..

I have a normal Halcyon somewhere..not sure of my Blue Cadet, Fragrant Blue and Halcyon locations..I plan to research it this summer..

Nice posts everyone!

Halcyon 6-21-21....out growing its space

Hands Up 7-21-21

Heatwave 6-6-21

Holar Purple Flash ,,,,new one...looking forward to getting it planted in the spring.

Honey Pie 5-25-21

Hovercraft 6-3-21....going to have to clear some space for this guy

Happy Dayz again, Hunny Bunny (Honey Bunny?) coming home from Bob Solberg’s Green Hill Farm, Hunny Bunny with Honey Bear together for last two.

High five

is a streaked antioch, settles out fast so its always in a back and forth of cutting it back.

seedlings from holar purple flash. not really an improvement as the blue burns off fast and like the mother purple flashes briefly. ive got alot of plants that dont make the cut but im not ready to give away yet yet.

.

Paula, in the first joke, my husband said “someone messed up!” (I had use an expletive myself!) haha; keep the tuxedo cat jokes coming……. the little tongue out while selling the dog cracked me up!! I really appreciate all the effort you put into collecting the jokes which brighten all of our days! Why is it you never post any of your hostas???

I knew Halcyon would be the most common hosta here. It is so interesting to see how it looks in all the different gardens. The 2 I like best here are Beth’s in bloom and peren’s—-love the color of her’s.

Saija, beautiful Holy Mole…..such soft colors. Hydon Sunset reminds me of Munchkin Fire. Interested to know if they are related……….they’re not

Beth, Hudson Bay is a beauty….. love those large leaves. How old is the hosta?

Jocl17, your Hoosier Dome is such a great looking hosta. I love the dinner plate leaves with the small ruffle.

Gchick, I remember well your Holy Mouse Ears journey. It made a remarkable comeback! I have Praying Hands and it didn’t look like much or flower until it’s 5-6th year when it filled out and finally flowered. Hands Up is probably similar. Give it time.

Utog, that Hover Craft is stunning…..I’m tempted. Love the color of Heat Wave in the spring. Nice Happy Dayz progression.

Sunnywood, love your High Society…..it’s one I have been thinking of getting.I like your mature Happy Dayz——it shows the wave nicely.

Shadow, love that Humpback Whale!! The big round light green leaves are very appealing.

Peren, wish my Halcyon was as blue as yours…..very nice progression on Hanky Panky. I also like the wavy leaves and purple petioles (?) on Her Eyes We’re Blue.

Nw, I can see both H’s in your picture. How is Honeybells differ from Royal Standard? They look so much the same to me. And don’t feel bad, I have a couple hostas I didn’t get photos of…..for some reason…..it’s not surprising you have a June reverting to Halcyon…..that’s how I got mine. But then that Halcyon, is partially sporting to June. You will see in my photo.

Mbug, I am interested to see how that Purple Holar Flash does for you. I have been eyeing it. And your Hovercraft is such a lovely soft blue/green. Love that!

debra

Hosta_maker that High Five is a beautiful streaker and I would take either of those seedlings!!
debra

Debra yes the scapes of Her Eyes Were Blue are speckled with purple. I am looking forward to this one maturing.

Ok, my few Hs:

How’s this for a chang??

Holy ME 5/12/21

I have a Hanky Panky as well, but did not get a pic of it…… :-(

debra

Funny ones, Paula! The plug looks like something that happened at my Mom's house. I also clicked twice, and the cat trying to sell the dog, lol!

Nice Halcyon's everyone!

Saija, Hydon Sunset, what a cutie.

Gardenchick, Good to see your HME bouncing back. Too often my rescues go the other way.

utog, Heatwave is a looker!

sunnywood, beautiful colors on your High Society.

Hollywood Lights is getting to be a pretty good size.

Happiness is a nice little blue.

debra..years ago ademink said she thought my Honeybells was a Royal Standard..I didn't argue but it was labeled Honeybells..I remember and have the tag..maybe mislabeled?

my Royal Standards were a gift from someone's garden..they told me they were RS..here's one..

to me the leaves of Honeybells grow upwards more than RS..

are you saying there's a Halcyon in the same pic with the Fire Islands and Honeybells?..could be..I don't know the ID of the one near the center of the pic to the right of the Fire Islands..to me it doesn't seem blue enough for Halcyon 🤔..does Halcyon emerge blue/green?..

Paula, My first thought of that outlet was, I think i could still get a two prong plug in there.

Holy Mole

Halcyon

Hadspen Blue - New division from an old root bound plant.

A few more

Hudson Bay

High Society

Honeybells

Y’all are killing me with these beautiful High Society hostas.

MY hostas are Chief's fans...They are snug underground watching football. (I kept it hosta related :) )

n2hostas..that's funny!!..my hostas are Colts fans..I hope they're not too embarrassed to show their face and refuse to come up in the spring 😂..

Paula, I've never had a cat or a dog, but I had to laugh at the cat selling the dog joke!

That "Menu" joke is a really cute one! My daughter liked it too!

Saija and Peren.all, your Hanky Panky's are just perfect! How easy is it to grow? (You are making it very hard not to put it on my wish list!)

Gardenchick, that is a remarkable comeback for Holy Mouse Ears! Fantastic!

Sunnywood, your High Society is a winner!

Old dirt, that Hudson Bay is perfection!

I am convinced I need a Halcyon now!

Glad my Hosta are not Steeler fans (like me). Then they would do next to nothing for the first half only to come on strong at the end to finish in a blaze of glory. Technically, that's the Steelers, not the fans. Which may be why I usually wait until the end to post my Hosta pics. Or maybe they really are Steeler fans and they won't let me post (play) until the second half. No, no, that's the coaches. That's it. My Hosta are Steeler coaches.

"Half" the size last year so we are making a comeback! (Thinned Forget me not seedlings surround.)

Hands Up. Sorry, not a fan. Slow growing. I'll remove it from this pot this coming season and plant it in the ground somewhere. As you can see, this pot is having difficulty with some of the plants (they disappeared) except for the Church Mouse!

Hans center right. Doing OK. One of the eyes was small. Crown damage?

High Society

I like this Hosta more than most greens with a white/cream edge. Like a lot of Steeler fans this morning, they are a Happy Camper.

This Hosta has always looked and grown great for me. Hopefully, the rest of the football season will be Happy Dayz for the Steelers.

Hawaiian Luau - mid June and end of July.

Hawk Eye

Man, I took a lot of pics of Hanky Panky (and friends) this year. I'll have to sort them out later. Meanwhile, here's how the Steeler's season will most likely end next week in Heartache.

All of the High Society pics look great, particularly, sw's.

Another subtle variegation Hosta that gets more contrast by June 2nd.

Holar Purple Flash - probably wouldn't even be arrested for this much flashing.

Hanky Panky emerging with early Holy Mole. Why isn't it Holy Moly or Moley or Hole' Mole'?

and then 2 weeks later

Hot Kiss which is the opposite colors from Full Frontal when it emerges with no color switcheroo. The edges do go blue when the wax develops.

My Hover Craft is diminishing (probably due to tree roots) while a seedling from the previous year is going strong.

How About That

Wow so many more beauties.

nhl Hanky Panky is super easy and quite a fast grower. Mine gets sun until at least 1:30 - 2:00.

Thanks peren.all. It's going on the wish list! And it's a small so there's got to be room somewhere!

Hillbilly Blues. I've had this one for at least 15 years and it's been divided multiple times.

Hush Pupp7. New for me in 2021, and half-eaten by rabbits.

Heavenly Tiara. Also new last year.

UOG, Debra and Shadow I purchased my Hudson Bay in 2017 from a local nursery. It didn't grow much till the last 2 years. So I guess it takes a bit to get going.

Pernall great picture of Holy Mouse Ears, it looks very happy in your garden.

Steve - your "How about that" is looking great

Just a quick football comment since it was such a crazy day yesterday. I couldn’t even fall asleep until 3:30 this morning because I was so jittery.

Too many games with too much happening, so wild.

All I started the day wanting was for TJ to get the sack record but insanity ensued…

I’m under no illusions about my team but still…they get your hopes up even when you KNOW better!

Hopefully I can sleep tonight and can go back to looking for my hosta pics tomorrow-today I was just a zombie🤦🏻‍♀️

Thanks, we will see…….have to win in the playoffs at Green Bay in late Jan. So we Packer fans always pray for cold cold weather!! 😂

Also, I am so hostaed-up that I have no idea what comment I made…..unless I noted a hosta coming up not too far from your FIs and wondered what it was……🤪

debra

Hovercraft in bloom

a football comment..my team didn't even make the playoffs..

debra and oursteelers - I'm sorry your teams didn't make it to the Superbowl..

but enjoy the Superbowl..

then get ready for spring 🌷..

There were so many great games, if the Steelers can’t be in the Superbowl at least there has been good football.

I’m voting for the Rams-Stafford deserves it for all his years in Detroit and who doesn’t love Aaron Donald?!?!

I'd like for the Rams to win too..I agree that Stafford deserves a ring for all of those years in Detroit..

great playoff games..

decided to wait awhile to mention the Steelers and Packers losses 🙁..

the Packers loss was surprising..
