And more lace -
To be fair, there were many others which still looked pretty good and I'll work on editing pictures of them soon.

And a few more:
A couple of First Frost. I don't know why one has a yellow edge and the other has a white edge. In my yard I normally see a yellow edge all season - my biggest is always yellow edged but I can't show it because the deer got to it this season. Here is Babbling Brook. The darker green leaves at the top of the photo are from Blue Angel in a pot next to Babbling Brook. Babbling Brook has huge leaves. Here is a reverse sport of Gold Standard - flips center and margin colors leaving a thin white strip between them (I have shown this one before - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=53313).

They get their own sort of beauty, but not the sort you want I'm sure

We have had 2 nights of frost. I brought my tropicals into the garage yesterday - Thanksgiving Cactus are budding and a couple tropical orchids are spiking.

Yes, the party's over here also.
Re: How are your hostas looking ?
The killing frost has finally reached most of my garden. Until yesterday, Nov. 3, they were all standing and there were a lot of them with that glowing golden fall color. Most are laying flat now, but there are still some that don't look too bad.

Ours are buried up under a thick coat of pine needles and fast asleep for the winter months.

Re: How are your hostas looking ?
Ugh, our hostas are covered with snow now I still haven't finished tagging for the year, which is getting more and more difficult given that they are all a nice shade of yellow and now... About 75% is probably done and the rest still have tags from last winter, but yikes, I'm not ready for snow
I'm going to sit here and look at hosta pictures from last summer for a little while now

Oh no the 'S' word has hit in the midwest. So sorry to hear this, I agree it's going to be a long winter. I'm headed out to the Brug
