Evil plan? We are just offering some help and advice

I don't think I posted these pictures on Halson's ... There are a lot of pictures, so I put them behind clickable thumbnails.

Some large hostas along the garage would make a great adittion .

I think it's a garden shed, but I agree, it really needs some huge hosta around it. And perhaps, just in front of those huge hosta, a row of medium hosta for better depth

Nice list. Pleased to see a Devon Green there. It is simply one of the best hosta imho.
Over here in Europe it's a very popular plant, and I've been told that that's not the case in the USA...

Hi Ed, The reason it isn't more popular is that Thunderbolt just won't grow that great in everyone's gardens, including my own. I think this one is really dependent on a lower pH, which I just don't have. I've sold some Thunderbolt (and Dream Weaver) over the years and they grow and slowly get bigg...

You can put lots of hosta on a small surface and still have a very nice garden...

Yup, it's a Mikawa-no-Yuki hybrid, and has the same wedge shaped leaf shape. That was the reason why I bought this plant

Some nice leaf shots :) Be warned, Ivory Necklace is a very vigorous grower that can get fairly wide, fairly quickly. I really like the corrugation plus how it stands upright. It's in a container so that shouldnot be a problem . It is indeed the combination of corrugation, the upright mound and the...

Borocay A very nice 'Captain Kirk' sport, with seasonal colour change (you see some variation on the different leafs) . http://supermasj.zenfolio.com/img/v4/p395736695-11.jpg Awakening Angel...

Some more Prairie Moon Vivid yellow with reddish petioles and a pointed leaf shape, this one is a great plant http://supermasj.zenfolio.com/img/v4/p350564477-11.jpg Pamela Lee A 'Radiant-Edger' sport, it was a well-appreciated gift plant... http://supermasj.zenfolio.com/img/v6/p61102821-11.jpg Funke...

I've purchased quite some plants over the last weeks... I was going to stop adding plants to my collection but :bd: All pictures are clickable thumbnails in order to get a larger image... Ivory Necklace This one caught my eye instantly. The pure white margin contrasts very well with the dark, green ...

And I'm not counting those seedlings

Having experienced a lot of disappointment when Baby Bunting went to Pandora's Box and then we got Hope and Cherish and Cameo... and I thought we'd gotten just a great family, but found that most of them don't grow worth a darn and I have little patches of struggling babies, year after year... I th...

I did open a post on the same matter two weeks ago on a Dutch Hosta forum. I have two hosta Hanky Panky. While they both emerged like this : http://supermasj.zenfolio.com/img/v8/p264148697-3.jpg , they now seem two completely different plants. The first one has only a small amount of sun, but shows ...

I love all the Striptease family, and each one has its pluses. Striptease - the original and a nostalgic favorite... exceptional grower, can make a huge mound (just like its mom, Gold Standard). It flaws, if you want to call them that, are that it colors up sort of slowly (just like its mom) leavin...

WOW! You just doubled my wish list! Thanks for posting them (I think :lol: ) I must add: Rhythm and Blues Holy Mouse Ears Royal Mouse Ears Cat and Mouse And my absolute favorite of all of them Littel Ceasar! Alexa! If you want, I'll show some more pictures so you can triple your wishlist (but I'm o...

There are even more small hosta in my garden ...
