April 2021 in my hosta garden
Comments (117)utog..another silhouette pic!..this one's great too!.. your garden's looking good!..we had 2 inches of rain Wed night..I had standing water (common in our high water table neighborhood) in my usual spots..so I didn't walk around in back today.. my still unclipped ratty winter foliage on an Autumn fern..they're slow for me.. the Japanese Painted ferns look fresher than the Autumns beside them..maybe because the Japanese Painted ferns die back?.. n2hostas..my green ginger is a good spreader..plant it with some space..but my craziest groundcover is this Lamium galeobdolon..can you see the variegated plant behind this bleeding heart?..that's it.. miles..there was a post a long time ago where someone used a wide shallow container for mini's and had success.. when I clean, weed and top with compost these plants will look prettier.....See MoreHosta G 2021 ........................
Comments (49)Glad you could take a day off Paula! Sounded like you really needed to recharge yourself---and hopefully you did. Love the joke "when you want to know but don't want to be obvious." Saija, that Gingee is cute! Love your Gold Standard. You caught the picture at just the right time. Jocl17, your Goodness Gracious is pretty and a very good size. Love your Guardian Angel. Beth, I can see that you have a lot of growing space (and I am envious)! And with those garden beds, you are doing an awesome job of growing your hosta to perfection! Gardenchick, your only G hosta is a wonderful one! Blueberry Bundtcake, don't hesitate to post pictures of hosta already posted. I like seeing everyone's and I also like seeing young hosta too. Some hosta look so different when they are immature. Peren.all, your Gold Drop is a winner for sure! Your Gold Standard is very interesting! And Gemstone---is a gem! Steve it's so nice to see so many Giantland hosta. Availability is sparce here in Canada. I may just have to experience them only through you! Glad that your separation of Galaxy paid off! Gila River is pretty! I wish I was able to drive over to Bob Solberg's place and pick up some of his hosta! Debra, Giantland Blue Banana is gorgeous! Love the color change! Hostalover, love your little friend! Great color grouping with the Guacamole! Hosta_maker, G. Blue Cheese is unique! mbug, I'm struggling with Golden Meadows. Don't even have a picture of it! You have a lot of great looking hosta---GE, Guardian Angel, Golden Prayers and so on! Sandyslopes, beautiful Gemstone and a very large Gypsy Rose. Well done! nicholsworth, your GE is looking great especially since that picture was taken in October. I see you are working very hard on your garden! Looking forward to your pics in 2022. Shadow, your GE looks more than promising! What a pretty Guardian Angel. Old Dirt, your hosta are looking great. Hopefully 2022 will be the year GE puts on a growth spurt. utog, your Golden Meadows is doing quite well! I can't believe that your Glory Hallelujah is only in its second year. It's doing great! Great to see the seasonal pictures of GE. hosta_maker, good job on the two hosta! As I looked at Golden Falls, I said to myself that it reminded me of Niagara Falls, but a lighter colored version. When I checked with the Hosta Library, there is was---a Niagara Falls seedling! sunnywood, gorgeous hosta! Your Golden Meadows is fantastic! Love your Grand Marquis and Goodness Gracious!...See MoreHosta Yellow 2021 ..............
Comments (27)I have a lot of yellow. Even my conifers are yellow. I've heard most psychotics love yellow, but I don't listen to me anymore. I love the multi-hued yellows when placed in the right lighting like Frisian Pride. and Gilt by Association might be my favorite. You can really tell how the sun hits the front edge of it earlier than the rest of the plant. Golden Falls - one of hosta_maker's that should really start to pop this year. H.F.

Comments (25)Thanks to Paula and so many of you for keeping the alphabet going! We just got snow and more predicted (a good thing!) so I won't be in the gardens just yet. The first one ....# 5, Be a plant, lol. Cats like to fit themselves in anywhere they can. And I hope the float a poo is only a joke. That will have to come down somewhere sometime. utog, perfect shots of June and Tokudama flavicircinalis. hosta_maker, beautiful leaves on Wildest Dreams! old_dirt, Don had such enthusiasm for hostas. I hope all is well with him. Mourning Dove Rare Breed Sleeping Beauty put out an all yellow leaf Fire and Ice Snake Eyes...See More
