Comments (56)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. Angel Falls early in the season, - Slow but steady after moving into a bit more light. Appletini and Apple Candy (and Toy Soldier) Awakening Angel Ayesha...See MoreHosta B 2022......................
Comments (45)Continuing . . . Blueberry Muffin (with a small pot of BM too) Not as much corrugation as yours Debra. I love the corrugation on yours! Brim Cup Brother Stefan (my favorite B too Sherrygirl) I don't know why but my Brother Stefan has only one eye, but it is huge! And I have two that are one eyed monsters. I am really enjoying them. Wonder if it will explode into several smaller eyes next year?...See MoreWhat not to do with hostas 2022 ...
Comments (24)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....See MoreWorst of Hosta 2022 ...........
Comments (9)Ann I hope Praying Hands rebounds in a sunnier spot. Good luck with Empress Wu. What a shame you lost LT. Debra you are funny! I am sure you will be rewarded with lovely unburnt leaves. Your Fire and Ice is a great size and will need some sun. Okay Debra fair is fair. I deleted the worst pics so you may say that is not so bad but trust me it gets much worse. Lakeside Cupcake. This is an old pic and one of the few I kept. It is wonderful early season and then gets the uglies by late July/early August. Added insult from deer damage. p.s. It would help if I watered....See More

last yearWonderful photos, I missed this post. I love all the hostas shown.
Here is another
Regal Splendor in September, it waited for a hard frost to take it down.
Drop Dead Gorgeous, I purchased as a plug in the spring and it put out so many leaves and even bloomed. In the spring I will find a place in the garden for it. Photo taken in August, it is still looking good.

last yearI'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.
