Hosta Leaves 2023 .......
I have sunburn on my nose. I just looked in the mirror after 2 days outside and my nose shows promise. For me this looks like a normal spring. For some of you, you actually had warmer weather than I did here. My hostas are popping, and the daylilies are scaping and life is good.
I do a fashion show everyday now. It requires 3 outfits per day: cool, warm, warmest back to warm to cool again. The hosta also puts on a fashion show with leaves. Always changing always color full. Let's have a fashion show of leaves today:
I can stop and stare at some leaves just looking at their beauty. Neighbors probably think I am nuts.
Oh no here she goes again. Do you turn it over? Trust me.
I feel for Tim.
San Francisco vertigo.
Show me the leaves:

Comments (33)Wow, a million dollars to spend on hosta! That would be a dream! Now if it were just to be used for buying hosta, then I think that money would last me my lifetime. But I would have to share some of that money because I know that giving the money to hosta enthusiasts would make them so happy. But I would really want to move to a better home with a bigger and better suited garden for hosta. I am tired of dealing with maple roots. I want no maple trees on my property or even the neighbor's property! tsugajunkie, that Rhythm and Blues is gorgeous and absolutely perfect. Everyone's Rainbow's End hosta is pretty! An excellent hosta! Saija, a picture perfect Ruffled Mouse Ears! Beth and Debra, your pretty Robert Frost hosta are making me rethink my plan for Robert Frost. I gave Robert Frost one of my prime planting places and it didn't do well last year. It had drawstring. So this winter I am thinking that it had it's chance. I should remove it and give that nice spot to another hosta. But after seeing your pictures, maybe I will give it one more year. I do have a smaller Robert Frost in another part of my garden (a division of the same hosta) and it did well. Go figure! So here was my Robert Frost You can see the drawstring edges...See MoreHosta S 2023 ......................
Comments (39)Steve Star-kissed really is a subtle beauty. Kathy so sad you lost your Hinoki but I love your attitude! On to something new and exciting. There was no trace of disturbance in, under or around Stained Glass, just gone. I sometimes think certain Hosta do better a zone warmer than mine. Here was SG the year before I lost it. I am sure yours will continue to thrive. Gary the colour of Silver Anniversary is special. Ben great Snake Eyes. Debra Speakeasy already is showing great traits. Your Silver Bay is looking terrific. Sherry I adore your Sugar and Spice, it is gorgeous. Shadow Super Nova is beautiful. Lisa I have always loved your Silk Kimono. Thank goodness it made it through! mbug so many beauties but Sea Fire just leaps off the page. Silly String is very cool and Stag's Leap is fabulous. Ann your S and S is so nice! You should post the rest of your S's! old_dirt Sharp Dressed Man and Sun Power are such standouts....See MoreHosta T 2023 .................................
Comments (26)TJ I was hoping you would post your terrific Tick Tock. old_dirt I think that is a lovely T of C. Ann I adore Tiny Tears, is is beyond cute. So glad you posted your Twilight by the entrance. Your property is magical. Debra you will never regret getting Teaspoon, happy to enable! Sorry about Tattoo, it is a tougher one to grow. Shadow so nice to see another Teaspoon. Your Twilight is lovely. Ben Tom Terrific is so well named, love it. Paula your trees will be leafed out waaay ahead of mine lol! mbug you could not go wrong with The King if that is what you settle on. Tom Schmid is wonderful. I so wanted to get mine planted but another year went by. I will just have to enjoy yours. Lisa Tootie Mae is gaining popularity here and I look forward to seeing her develop over the years....See More
