Hosta P 2022 ...................

last year

I lost a Red Shoulder hawk the other day. He was my rat man and worked the pond hard. I could be outside working and would find him on the fence or the wagon handle watching me. Of course, a staring contest would begin. He was beautiful and my friend, Thank you.

On to hostas and I need to see some Ps:

Have a good day everyone! Stay warm.

Is the party over yet? Or can I still join? Here's some I haven't seen here yet or already forgot I saw. Alligator Alley grew so well I had to move it a couple years ago. Starting to bounce back.

Beth , peren and old_dirt, I have some of the same as you three do. Let me comment on ones I don’t have….. Beth, Bitsy Gold is a cute one. Looks especially good in a pot. I love the trio of minis in a pot as well. Peren, well….you just have soooo many! Some new ones I have purchased are ones I’ve seen in your garden. Sometimes I buy multiples and plant them together as well to make a bigger plant quicker…..lol I really like Cracker Crumbs, Crumb Cake and your row of 4 minis is cute. I love Teaspoon and Ladybug! old_dirt, your Mini Skirt looks great in that planter! I have seen Surfer Girl before, but in your garden it has a lovely light green shade. Also love Pocket Full of Sunshine….. I had one, but I believe it developed nematodes so I tossed it. I may have to give it another try! debra

Hosta Flowers 2022 ...........

One certainly can’t blame you for cutting flowers that interfere with the presentation of a fav hosta….. I generally cut the petioles once all the flowers are spent….. I will leave any petioles with flowers for the bees. I don’t have tons of flowers for bees so if they want the hosta ones, they can have them! Lol 🐝 Hosta_maker, I have never noticed the cellophane layer on flowers, but I certainly start this year. How interesting! Love all the flowers you posted….all those reds and purples! Yay! Old_dirt, Sweet Home Chicago is a prolific bloomer….really nice! Foxfire Palm Sunday has a really interesting bud head…..roundish, reminds me of Queen Josephine which I don’t a picture of. Did you post your NOIDS in that category? They have very pretty flowers! debra

Hosta Leaves 2022 ........................

According to hugos database frances williams came about as a sport of a seedling. in 1936 it was a big deal to have margined hosta of interest. So it became popular. …today i would not introduce a plant with that flaw. there have been look a likes that have come after it that dont burn. From hugos database Alex J. Summers Distinguished Merit Award 1986 (Caroline Williams). Purchased by Mrs. Williams out of a batch of H. sieboldiana seedlings at Bristol Nursery, Connecticut in 1936. Named by G. W. Robinson of the Oxford Botanical Gardens (1963). 20" tall. Light Shade. 50-90% shade. This yellow edged sport of H. sieboldiana 'Elegans' is always at the top of the popularity list. The heavily corrugated round blue leaves are edged with a wide golden border. The 3' clumps are topped with white flowers in late spring. In areas of low humidity, or with any sun, the gold margin tends to sun scorch.

Lots of P's here, too much coffee I guess :-)

Plantaginea - Anxious to see this mature. I got three divisions last year from my BIL and one bloomed befor the end of the year.

Paradigm - Late in the year it gets the same crud that Frances Williams is noted for.

Paula what a shame to have lost your working companion, it was special.

Saija Phantom is a looker.

Yes Sally take more pics. It is always nice when a rescue puts on a show.

hosta_maker I like Peach Brandy. Look forward to seeing more from Ptf5 f2.

old_dirt " Lots of P's here, too much coffee I guess :-)" lol you are a card. Prairie Moon is glowing and Peacock Strut does have great legs.

Paula - Curious about "lost" your hawk. I have them here on a regular basis, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered but mostly Cooper's. The Cooper's is always watching the bird feeders and dines on the mourning doves. I wish they would concentrate more on the squirrels, moles and voles.

Debra - I think your PJ or June could be a coin toss, both being a sport of halcyon and they vary so much by time of year and amount of sun. Whatever it is, it is very nice.

Lots of enabling here with all the great P's.

hosta_maker your Power of Prayer jumps out to me.

Saija, your Pete’s Dark Satellite and Phantom are both beauties!

Gardengoon, your Praying Hands in bloom is just stunning. Mine finally bloomed after 8 years but not as prolifically as yours……👍🏽

Hosta_maker,would love to have Peach Brandy and Plum Delicious…….love those fruits 😉 Ptf52 looks like it’s worth the wait!

Old_dirt, I wish my Plantaginea had survived,but alas, it didn’t…… yours is lovely. Also I really like the corrugation on your Brother Stephen. Prairie Moon is also really beautiful. Thanks for your opinion on the Paradise Joyce.

Peren, Party Popper is a cutie. Powder Blue and Powder Keg both are……WOW! I think you have the largest Praying Hands I have seen yet! Nice…..

Beth, your Paradigm is a beauty……so corrugated, I love that! I hope my Pineapple Upsidedown Cake grows up to be like yours! So yellow! Also nice big Plantaginea!

anyone else have an opinion about my Paradise Joyce/June??

I’m sorry about your hawk Paula..wildlife is awesome..

Pretty Pictures People!!!..

Saija..I agree with debra and peren..I love Phantom..

debra..if you told me that was June I would believe you..

love the touch of color on garyz’s Purple Haze and hosta_maker’s Peach Brandy..

I’ll let the posted pics of Patriot, Paul’s Glory, Plantaginea and Praying Hands cover for me..Lol

time will tell if my Praying Hands returns this year..not enough stems to add up to 10 fingers 😂..

all of the Praying Hands posted here are impressive..👍

the bottom left is Pearl Lake..4 of them..this was in October so they’re not quite their best..

Pineapple Upside Down Cake in April..it’s sunny!..my trees aren’t leafed out yet..

an olden days joke like Paula’s 1900 playground equipment..

Old Dirt lost as in found him past away. My son tells me he sees owls out there often at night. My cat of 14 years went out between Christmas and New Year. She did not return and we knew nothing. Now I am going to go out more in the night to see what is there. Some days bird-wise it can be a vicious world out there. I hope I get a new hawk. He will though have to work for his keep. Thank you.

How special to have a hawk. Hopefully, another will move in soon.

My voices tell me they are real, so there.

Power of Prayer is a real standout.

Pamela Lee - love the subtle color on this mini.

Parisian Silk - Great color but slow grower under the maple trees.

Pebble Creek

Pee Dee Laughing River

Piecrust Promise

Place of Hope - still young, hopefully leaps this year.

Potomac Glory - yes, I'm a sucker for subtle, green on green ...

Prime Meridian in mid-May first Sping in the ground

and June 20th - seems like a great grower for a white centered Hosta.

Punky - yes, more subtlety.

I'm with OD, so much P.

Debra according to the HL Paradise Joyce starts out blue and then gets its colour, whereas June has the yellow centre from the beginning. I know in my garden June is screaming yellow in spring. Unless you have pics from emergence it would be difficult to say which it is.

The picture above that I posted is from mid May and it’s screaming yellow in my opinion. Let me see if I have an earlier photo……

I don’t have earlier photos, but later ones:

Holds it’s color nicely well into September

I went back to the HL and the J posts and looked at all the Junes and have decided that is what I have……all these years I could not understand all the rave about June, when I always thought Paradise Joyce was far prettier…….duh 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

This hosta was purchased from a local garden center and mislabled. This was back in the day when I could not tell most hostas apart! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

You sure all great enablers. Great photography too.

I really do not need more hostas. I have space but heck there is only so much care I am willing to provide.

Saija, thanks for Pete satellite. I need to ID mine.

My plan is to catalog and ID as much as I can this year.

Last bunch.

I like, and I'm always trying to add, Paradise hosta.......my current crop:

Paradise Backstage 6-20-22. Can't get this one to take off. Had it a long time. Moved several times.

Paradise Glory

Paradise Island 6-2-22

Paradise Joyce 5-22-22....

debra this is mine. Similar to June. Changes more during the season than June. This one gets a ton of sun.

Paradise Power 6-2-22

Paradise Sunshine 6-2-22.....this poor thing is in the front of my house and gets devoured by deer twice a year, but somehow keeps coming back!

Love that Paradise Power, I would definitely add that one to my garden if I ever came across one.

ll - thanks for the pic of Pearly Gates. Mine did great the first two years then dwindled last year until I rescued it into a pot. I'll definitely be looking for a better place for it this year. That one leaf looks amazing. Mine hangs on to the yellow edge for a bit. Here it is in the end of June 2020.
