Greetings and some hostas :)

Post by party_music50 »

Hi all -- Just a quick photo of one of my little gardens that I thought might even be worthy to post here. I just love this M. aureomarginata! The "star" of this garden is actually mostly out-of-sight in this photo. At foreground is Dark Star and I got it in my one and only hosta trade and that was through these forums some years back. I recall it being from Rhonda? I love it! unfortunately, so do the deer. lol!

I also love the old classics, but I don't have this one because I've got more hostas than will comfortably fit in my city lot already. I tend to specialize in tiny - medium sized hostas with only a few really large ones.

Beautiful!!! I think Dark Star is a great plant too, and of course MA just steals the show wherever you put it.
