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.

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

Hosta Best of 2022 ..........................

I've already posted multiple pics of two of my favorites - The King and Wave Runner. This sport from Sagae outgrows Liberty in less sun for me and always gets comments from visitors. In 2017 I bought a Sagae with the widest margin I could find at the nursery (it was still relatively narrow) and it quickly responded to being planted in the ground by getting ridiculously wider. You can still see a little bit of the Sagae being taken over by August of that year.

Pieter that one i sent to mark zillis lab 3 years ago, so solberg is selling it now its 'light the match' high priced the first year. i don't get any royalties on those. it has the substance of subcrocea so it will bleach. it works best in a pot which would be good for you. the os in the ground hasn't liked the 2 years of drought we've had so it has shrunk to half size. i relocated it. so i'm hoping it bounces back this year.

Deb those are a big daddy sport and a mcwilliams streaker. ive got 3 cups full of streakers of that mcwilliams this year. maybe 100 or so. here is wildest dreams after it bleaches. the jetting shows more. One that gets better and better later in the seaon. another pic showing the anatomy of a leaf. the primary veins and sub veins and the back epidermis are the scaffolding supporting the middle and out layers. side by side chimera cells in the meristem with some overlap. streakers are randomly organized cells in the meristem and stable plants have united their chimeras. wildest dreams has some of the most extensive overlap in the transition that i have seen in a white margined stable hosta. the effect is really pretty

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!

Here is Jack, my 14 1/2 yo Shih Tzu.

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…..☹️
