Hosta G 2024 .. . . ... . ... . . ....
Could you have a spider monkey as a pet?
I am happy the wind died down. I have a nice and toasty 46* in the green house. I am happy with that but, just in case, I have the heat lamps in and on the ready. How is winter treating you?
Post some Gs today and let's have a snow party. You can keep the snow!

G daylilies 2024
Comments (17)Great White has been used a lot in hybridizing. I see that Blue PInk Beauty is among its progeny. The latter grows well. Unfortunately, many other kids have the same slow growth rate of GW. GW is among my slowest increasers here. Derrow's Also Known As is also a kid. It is a superior cultivar, except that it too would benefit from faster increase. Superior in the north to its other parent JT Davis (with much greater bud count and height). I see that ZuZu's Treasure is also out of GW. I did not get a pic of Glowing Quasar this year. It did very well in 2022. Yes, superior height and bloom consistency to Bass Gibson. Garry Bewcyk, when it is good, is very good. Difficult to capture its darkness. Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee had a subpar year with shorter scapes. Guard Your Heart is a nice color, but height and performance are untested. Getting Airborne did have tall scapes here, but has been a bit slow to establish (could have been from earlier crowding). Gia's Wonder, out of Hanson's Women Seeking Men, has an interesting bloom with its parent's vigor. Green Mystique looked quite good for a southern-bred cultivar. Flowers are modest sized, but the coloration is nicely shaded. Green Arrow has a diploid lankiness in the ground. I didn't photograph Get R Done this past summer. It had a very good year in 2022, with better bud count than in its earlier years here. Quite tall. Probably subpar this past summer. Geneva Firetruck. Very vivid blooms. Not a really tall plant, but blooms well above foliage. Not sure why this is not more popular, but it is an older one. Vivid and vigorous. Glass Houses. Like this one a lot. Not as good as 2022, but not many were. Not really tall, but blooms well above the foliage. Graphic Art. A favorite that performed very well last summer. Out of Free Wheelin. I too have Lips a Quiver, but have been disappointed in its performance so far....See MoreHosta R 2024 ^^^^^^^^^^^
Comments (28)Thanks mbug! Your hostas all look so good that it’s hard to imagine you have trouble growing any of them. I must have gotten lucky with my placement of Rare Breed. Ann, I understand avoiding extra work. I have a June that’s needed divided for two years now. But I always feel ambitious this time of year ….when I’m in the planning stage. Old_dirt, I had the same experience with Remember Me and joked that the name fits it. Remember Me because I won’t be here for very long. 😊 Your Risky Business is a stand out! Beth, what a pretty Rainforest Sunrise....See MoreHosta U 2024 >
Comments (11)Like many of us Hosta would cause kidnappers to let me go. Love the Stonehenge/Easter Island. Those ticket prices are crazy at both ends of the spectrum! Saija I adore that UC. Beth & old_dirt Unforgettable is so attractive. old_dirt I would say it is UA. I have nothing exciting. Undulata Albomarginata. I mislabelled and posted this as Fortunei A earlier in the Alphabet. UA #2. I will take this one out to make room. Undulata Univittata....See MoreHosta V 2024 ............. . . .. . . . ...
Comments (18)Thank you Debra! I did not know that, how I don't know. I usually check the HL for info. Interesting. I went through old pics and the scapes look smooth but I will take a look in spring. It sometimes sports variegated leaves but I have not had a chance to check the multitude of progeny and sports. Lisa your VS is looking wonderful. nhl nice venusta but your V in the W is terrific. old_dirt I am with Debra. I have always admired VV and wow your Vulcan is super. utog another wow for VLS. Yellow wavy leaf & red legs is such a beautiful combo....See MoreRelated Professionals

debra..my GS is old too!..I love upright/vase shaped hosta..I'd go for your GL Elegance..
mbug..thanks!..the centers of your Golden Meadows remind me of my Great Expectations..I wish my Japanese Painted ferns were as lush as yours (pictured below Golden Prayers)..your Gold Standard has leaves that vary too!..I never noticed GS grew this way..
it's not a close up but I can see my GS through the stems of this elephant ear..see it to the left of the tallest elephant ear leaf?..
you people have given me a new appreciation for it..this photo was taken last summer..the pic in the other comment is older..I'm looking forward to seeing it again..I want to see how it looks this year..😀
last monthlast modified: last monthPaula - My parents and one brother had a spider monkey as a pet. After they got older, they both got mean and nasty.
Great Expectations - One slow grower
Golden Tiara
Gold Standard - Looks like a little lunch for some critter
Gold Regal - Much lighter early in the year
Green Gold - Noah's Rainbow reverted
Gold Edger/Gold Drop - Comparing in HL and the data base, I don't see any appreciable difference. Under info in the data base, they both state white & lavendar flowers.
Guacamole - Remember Guacamole Don from Colorado?

last monthWe had about six inches of snow the other day, some wind gusts today.
I also got Gemstone because of how good Laurie’s looked! We do enable each other.
Old_dirt, all of your hostas show so well. Besides how good they look; your darker mulch really sets them off. And I wonder if Don ever looks at the hosta forum anymore?

Gorgeous G's everyone 👍..
I forgot Green Angel..I have a tag..I remember the first location but I moved it 😂..I think it's in the pot at the top..
lindalana..I have lysimachia growing by Fire Island in the front..I get the same effect as your combination..I love it..
last monthI just got Glad Rags. Glad to see a few of you have it. This picture was taken at the end of October. Holding up well considering it was late in the season.
Golden Meadows. A slow growing one.
Great Expectations. One of my favorites.
Ginsu Knife. Definitely needs to be removed as it is shadowing everything around it.
Gypsy Rose with Good Gracious beside it.
