Re: Dark-flowered hostas
Even into November these are still around. Here is Kogashiyama Fukurin again - I posted this one earlier showing is in June through October. Kogashiyama Fukurin early November.

Re: Dark-flowered hostas
This could be the last set - we may get bad frost tonight. Kogashiyama Fukurin - I was waiting for this one to open - I already posted this plant from June, July, August and September.

Re: All Plain Green X Dostoyevsky
The flowers started opening a few days ago but I was away (visiting the grand-kids in Florida - it was mid-90s and came home to 50 and light frost over-night) and couldn't get pictures until today. All Plain Green X Dostoyevsky #2 1018181212f-2.jpg I'm going to add this photo to the "Dark-flowers" t...

Re: Hosta of the Day - Red Alert
None of the other buds want to open. I have started tearing them open and the style has been bent-up inside the flower where it's being jammed into the front of the flower. The tip doesn't want to open - it's like clausa. I have been trying to make crosses with it after I have ripped the flower apar...

Re: Dark-flowered hostas
Another set of what I think are rectifolia types but these are smaller plants. They are in the same "Front Lawn Garden" as the previous few pages but they are on the other side edge. First photo is FLW V-4 from last season when it first had flowers. FLW V-4 17 f 4644.jpg FLW V-4 this season - intere...

Re: Dark-flowered hostas
Here is FLW V-1 today with its late flower scape. I didn't realize it was "frosted". There is another small/young "volunteeer" under this plant - V-1A. It's getting crowded in this space - I moved Deliverance out of this area,this season, because Lacy Belle, just to the left of this plant is getting...

Re: Dark-flowered hostas
Back to what I think are rectifolia volunteers. This is a group of four plants that are getting big and the scapes are large some over 6 feet. It started out as a group of 3 but one put out a streaked sport so I cut out the green hunk and moved it. My labeling is simple "FLW" for Front Lawn Weedling...

Re: Dark-flowered hostas
Kogashiyama Fukurin popped-up as part of this topic this morning. (Don't worry - I will get back to rectifolia in a bit.) This is a small plant with a thin white edge. This season it seems to always be in flower with 3 feet long scapes that are now covered in pods and with a fresh scape starting up....

Re: Dark-flowered hostas
More volunteers in my back yard that I think are from seeds washed down from my rectifolia area. Bri-Sun's Other Buddy - it's growing next to my yellow hosta Bri-Sun and will have to be moved. It's a good sized plant with a lot of scapes. BYW Bri-Sun's Other Buddy 0726180623d.jpg Longfellow - this i...

Volunteers in my back yard that I think are from seeds washed down from my rectifolia area. Some even have garden names. There are two pages showing flowers from the same plant just different dates.

I will get to the rectifolia spreads in a while. For the moment here is a group of Katsuragawa Beni hybrids - when I saw a flower on Red Alert today I got interested.

Re: Hosta of the Day - Red Alert
Looking back over my old photos I did see a flower in very late 2016. It's interesting the MyHosta database says flowering time is mid-season. In my yard it seems "Last to Flower". tardiflora started to open its flowers a few days ago. I do have a large number of fortunei types with late scapes and ...
