A few from today - April 26

I decided to get a couple of photos before the T-Storms with high winds, hail, locusts, plagues, cats, dogs, etc start.....

This is just elegant IMHO. It is rapidly heading into the top 10 for me..... Niagara Falls



LS Kaliedoscope is dramatic...


My problen children survived the winter! Top - Ice Age Trail, upper right - Fair Maiden, bottom Island Charm.


And a blue seedling of mine in its 3rd season. I have never seen such heavy corrugation in person and there is more each day!


Thanks for looking everyone!

That seedling does have some very nice corrugation. Do you know the parents? I have an OP Northern Exposure seedling that I moved from the So-So-Seedling bed into the yard last year. It's from 2000, and has been getting more and more corrugated every year. I love the bumples!

Niagara Falls is a very ellegant hosta.

Beautiful!! How was the storm? Mine were hit with hail the first couple week they were up.

Your LS Kaliedoscope looks different than mine. Mine's flat on the ground I noticed yesterday and thought it was weird. Wonder if it has something to do with last years freeze? I'll get a pic tomorrow.

I've killed 2 Fair Maidens and 1 IAT!!

Thansk everyone

Unfortunately, I do not know the parents of the blue seedling. I lost ALL my info when my hard drive died a couple of years ago and we were unable to retrieve the data. Can you say external backup device now?

Thankfully, the storm wasn't bad, Lots of rain and wind but no damage to be seen. The hostas look pretty happy this morning after the drenching.

Baja - I thought I was going to lose both Island CHarm and Fair Maiden. Both were really struggling in the ground and have done MUCH better in pots. IAT was a tiny TC baby 2 years ago and spent a year in the ground barely growing. I moved it into the pot and it really put on some good growth.

I've noticed that keeping them in the thick styrofoam pots really does provide great insulation for the roots and they are much less problematic when wintered over that way.

Thanks for looking everyone - I will have updated photos soon!

Those are great pics! I love that Niagra falls...really eye catching.

I love your potters with the several smaller hostas all in one pot. I think I am going to do the same thing for some of the hostas from last year that came back up as just one or two little eyes. Thanks for the idea!

They look great Alexa! Looking at yours, I know I made a great choice by deciding to take Niagara Falls with me.
