Hosta t 2022 ..............

last year

Did you know that yesterday was 2.3.23. And that we only have 44 days till spring. Spring is here for me. I saw the purple trees and they mean it is here. Other trees are loaded with red buds of promise. And my nose, breathing is so over-rated!

Lets get down to hostas. I believe they are allergy free. Show us some:

Have a great day everyone!

Paula, I hope your allergies subside soon. Great pirate joke.

Thunderbolt - very slow grower but it is pretty now

Touch of Class - a little ruff on the edges might be too much sun, too hot or not enough water

Tracy’s Emerald Cup

Twilight

Couple T's here - I think I fixed this.

Twilight - Always gets kind of raggedy and crispy edges late season even though in mostly shade.

Not just a trick of the lighting but showing blue and yellow at the same time. Chorus Girl Cold Heart Color Festival Crocodile Socks Looks like I didn't take nearly as many pictures last year or I just need to find them, lol.

I confess, I too, had to read the joke about the slippers and coffee again to get the joke! Good one! Gary, never heard of Hunter's Ridge. It's quite impressive. I like the way the leaves kind of fold over each other and the nice shape it makes. Beth, your Hudson Bay is wonderful! Sherry, lovely Halcyon. I don't have one yet. I saw it in a big box store, but heard that purchasing that particular one had a good chance of it being virused. But I will find one some day! Hosta_maker, I am drawn to Heavenly Cloud and High Five! Peren.all, as always, your Hanky Panky is just beautiful. Great to see two "different" pictures too. Nicholsworth, great picture of the grouping of different hosta! Old_dirt, don't know what you are talking about when you said "I have several H's but none very impressive." Yes they are impressive! Shadow, good luck with the Hudson Bay. One day it just may surprise you! Lovely Halcyon! Lindalana, High Voltage looks very pretty! Debra, interesting that Lindalana has the only yellow "H!" Love the two different shots of Halcyon. I didn't realize that it comes up green and then turns blue.

Hosta U 2022 .......................

Thats probably why their are not alot of u names. its not real catchy. alot of real good ideas. and funny too. most of the time it takes me a long time to find a name, i come up with a few then wait. if i still like it after a month or two it sticks. i knew bloodline would be an important plant so i mulled over that for a year. the snow and white names are good. ranch is funny steves japanese twist is great too. what is the way to go …right? something that has broad appeal? niche names like food? something descriptive of the plant? something from its history? is their a consensus? whats your favorite hosta name. wildest dreams was named by jeff white. the back story is that their was a local hosta grower seller here in mn, rob mcwilliams. he grew seedlings. his goal in life was to have something good enough to register. A long story short, he got sick and died. his wife invited a hybridizing group i was in to take some of his plants to use in breeding. one of his best plants a streaker was registered by hugo phillips as robs dream. one of my sports from it was named by jeff as wildest dreams. its become my go to plant for creating variegated ruffled edge seedlings. …in the end he acheived his goal postumously.

deb most hosta buyers don't and won't do the research. i get that, as a hybridizer i spend alot of time picking apart lineage and genetic plusses and minuses. don rawson has done us all a big favor by making the hosta lists, so under sun tolerant you can find pauls glory, orange marmalade etc. http://www.hostalists.org/hosta_list_sth.php if you go to the library and look up forbidden fruit you can click on hugo phillips data, another great service. https://www.myhostas.be/db/view/Forbidden+Fruit there you can see forbidden fruit is a sport of orange marmalade. down a little further is ploidy, you can see 4-4-4, 4 stands for tetraploid in that layer of the hosta. ...a diploid will be 2-2-2 like i said, most people don't want to get that far into it. some of us hosta heads have alot of time on our hands in winter.

Lol Paula except to the allergies.

old_dirt Twilight looks good there, pity it gets tatty late season.

Sally I feel for you. It was -43C that is -45F with the wind chill this a.m. In a couple of days it will be above freezing. Crazy weather. I adore Teaspoon. What a nice TF.

hosta_maker I have never seen ruffles like that on Titanic.

Paula, all of those jokes really made me laugh this morning……like many others, I look forward to them 😂😂😂😂😂

Beth, what a wonderful Thunderbolt!! I HAD one…..that’s another story ☹️ I wonder if you posted the wrong photo——your picture of TOC doesn’t seem to be one. TOC is medio-variegated…..pretty sure. Love that Tracy’s Emerald Cup, so green, cupped and beautiful!

Old_dirt, very very nice Twight!

Gardengoon and peren, what stunning Teaspoons……I think I must get that…..how does it do in sun??
Also Sally, gorgeous Tok Flav! Such beautiful blue and green!

Hosta_maker, I like the color and shape of the leaves on Tom Terrific. Also, that Twilight Seedling is lovely!

Laurie, The King is so nice…. love the streaking in the margin! Nice Tropical Dancer…..kinda looks like it’s dancing. This one is new to me.

gary, I am a sucker for yellow (and blue, green, green & white, blue & green…..you get my drift),anyway Tickle Me Pink is o pretty, does it turn chartreuse later in the summer? Also, that Tenryu picture has made me happy I ordered it!

Thanks debra. It's a Gold Drop sport so stays relatively small, and it blooms with a ton of flowers.

Paula..I go for simple recipes too..Lol..

Laurie..isn’t Teaspoon supposed to be small? 😂..yours is gorgeous..love Tropical Dancer..and the boulder behind it..

Touch of Class is popular!..I should get one..

no pic to post but my Twilight looks blue compared to all of yours..there are some pics in the hosta library that resemble mine..

Tiny Tears..

I have a Tokudama Aureonebulosa tag..

could be the mismatched set (one is short and one med) with light centers near the center of the pic?..

I think the bottom left corner is a June..

love Tenryu garyz and mbug..

Gary I agree Tenyru is very nice.

hosta_maker Thanks for that info on Titanic. TC can be a boon or a bust in some cases, definitely a boon in the case of yours.

Debra yes you need a Teaspoon! Mine gets sun until around 3:00 but it is on the sun tolerant list. I hope your Tattoo responds this year. If I recall it is quite new to you and not known for being a fast grower. I like the colouring on Teatime!

mbug gorgeous as always but Tom Schmid is wonderful. It certainly makes sense that Tick Tock would be a great grower and floriferous being a GD sport. I like it very much.

Ann Teaspoon is a small to medium, 11x24. Yours could be TA but better to hear from those that grow it. Tiny Tears is so cute!

Debra, I think you are correct the hosta I have as touch of class is not touch of class. It is the hosta I received as touch of class though.... Now I wonder what hosta it is. I will have to name it so I can keep track of it.

My #1 favorite Hosta even though it hasn't really increased for me. It will be split and 1/2 moved to hopefully a better location this year. I love the tall, vase shape that shows off the legs. And the ruffled edges are a big plus. Have I mentioned that I like the green-on-green look? This adds a color changing margin, but not just a single change. It comes up yellow, goes to medium green, then to lime green and finishes with a brighter yellow and green cream edge with overlays streaking in to middle. I didn't get any pics of the early yellow edge last year. I need to take more pics of it this coming year. So here's a May pic from 2021:

and after the edge turns green

then lime green

and the finale:

I've finally got The Queen on order this year and I'm hoping for a similar display right next to it.
