Today is a day for Qs. Show us your Queens of the garden. I am enjoying being retired. Every day is play day in the garden. Lets play today. And as always for those who have snow you are more than welcome to come and play here. I need one of the tree pulling devices.

On to QS. There are not many so feel free to post anything today..

Have a great day everyone and that you all for your kind comments on my hawk.

Sherry, your Pizza Crust is always so impressive. I have it and it does not give me that kind of explosion. I rarely photograph it. Debra, Picasso's Intrigue is stunning in that photo. And you got a good shot of Private Reserve-it is so hard to get that kind of no splotch picture. Pink Lemonade Party is such a pretty pink. Brad, I agree that seedling is a "look at me" kind of plant! I still have Priscilla's Rainbow because it is such a good plant and it really is a looker in a clump. David, Proper Stranger is pretty and at that size probably really stands out. I like Passing Fancy as well. Nan, Papa's Goose looks good in your photo. I have debated that one but have not yet convinced myself I really need it! Still enjoying everyone's posts when I can!! So nice to see them on these dreary winter days!!! Kate

Paula, the Jetson joke is really unbelievable! Saija, I am happy to see you are with us…..why not post hostas that you have even if they’re not from 2022? Gary and Beth, your Kaledichrome hostas are amazing! Love the striped leaves! NW, you have a lovely view from your window! I think you are the one who inspired me to buy Krossa. Beth, Saija and Sunnywood, all of you have perfect Komodo Dragons ……It looks bigger than Krossa….is it? Saija, I have been having houzz problems too. For some reason I can’t access my library photos through the app. I have been going to my old bookmarked link through the hosta forum. debra

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 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.

Queen of the Seas before it is assaulted by bird poop. It is growing under a blue spruce. So happy I finally had a photo to post!

Paula, I also am sorry that you lost your hawk…..I am a true animal lover and believe it’s possible to establish close relationships with all kinds of critters on this earth if we are open to it……I have seen it over and over. I think you have that energy that attracts some critters and in this case it was a hawk. I believe another one will come along in time……

Gary, you have Quarter Note, which is one I haven’t heard of. I looked it up in the HL and see there is no year associated with it. How long have you had it? HL also says it’s difficult in tc production which would be why it seems rare. Nice plant with beautiful dark purple flowers.

Saija and hosta_maker, your Queens of the Sea are lovely indeed! Do they maintain their blue??

Ken, that Quill is an interesting hosta…… I looked it up in the HL as well and see that it has a very interesting petiole growth, “as a flower fades it puts out a small new scape from the top of the old one.”
I wonder if there’s a name for that and if other hostas that have that characteristic??

hosta_maker, I like the leaf shape on Quinipiac. The coloring is also pretty….sorta blue,sorta green. I see your Bloodline peaking out there.☺️

Nicholsworth, nice to see things growing somewhere. Can’t believe your bulbs and hellebores are coming up. Z6 must be quite a bit warmer than Z5b my zone. I don’t think of Indianapolis as being so far away. It just goes to show how distance has nothing to do with growing zones.

Sherry, we were posting at the same time. Very nice Queen….. I may have to buy one…..

Your buddy Jack is darling!! ❤️❤️❤️

Here is my Queen:

And here’s the snow we got all day yesterday

I am not complaining……we need the moisture. But now comes a very chilly week. Evening temps in single or below zero F all week.

That picture of Quarter Note was taken shortly after moving it during a very hot and dry period. That's why it looks "wilted" in the picture. I've had it ten plus years.

Paula, I think the car is a Pinto, just a guess.

Great Q's everyone.

Queen of the Seas - taken mid June. It had a lot of sun last year, thinking about moving it to a shadier spot.

I did not know that Audi made a car to look so much like a Pinto.

Ken was right.

Old_dirt, I love the pictures of the hawks! Some years ago I had one circling around my yard for a few days. I learned that due to habitat loss, they have moved into city parks and yards when presented with food opportunities. I haven’t see him since…..☹️
