This is Blue Umbrellas tucked away between some golden barberry bushes and day lilies.
First Frost with the yellow border,Tracy's Emerald Cup, and the yellow one is Copa Cabana. All from Chris and doing wonderfully.

Very nice and tidy! Thanks for the pics.
Re: Out in the garden this weekend
Nice to see some pics from you! Tell us more about Copa Cobana! I haven't seen that one in a garden.
Does it take some sun? They all look marvelously healthy.

Re: Out in the garden this weekend
Thanks! Copa doesn't really get a lot of direct sun at my house, maybe a little in the late afternoon. It's about 3 years old now and I'm really happy with the way it looks.

This is one of my favorites: Spritzer
And here is Northland Queen with Jurassic Park looming in the background.

Re: Out in the garden this weekend
Do you have a closer pic of Tracy's Emerald Cup? I just added that one this year because I went a little overboard with the golds, blues, and variegated ones...needed a few interesting green ones to balance things out. How long have you had TEC and how big do you think it will get? Would you say it's slug resistant? I haven't been able to find a lot of info online about that one.

Re: Out in the garden this weekend
TEC needs to move, she's running out of breathing room with Guardian Angel and Copa Cabana crashing in. TEC is 3 years old so will probably get a bit bigger yet. I have a slug problem period, none of my hostas are exempt.
I just ran out and took this photo (and a few others). It is getting dark so the flash went off, and it is sprinkling a bit. I think the flash is kind of reflected in the water droplets.

Not even First Frost is exempt? That one, and most of the other Halcyon related ones I have, are just about the ONLY ones that can stand up to my slug problem...which is a mighty bad problem! Your FF is beautiful- mine is looking good this year, but has a long way to go before looking like that.
