A few pretties in the garden :)

Just wanted to share some of my hostas... things are very slug-eaten this year because of my knee surgery in May and not being able to get out and do as much gardening and maintenance as usual, but still pretty

Fragrant Blue - one of my all-time favorite blues!

Earth Angel:

King Tut:

Regal Splendor:

And finally one of my favorite compositions - H. Lakeside Legal Tender, a small astilbe, H. Fragrant Blue, Athyrium 'Ghost', H. Blue arrow behind Ghost, H. Brazen Hussy in the background, and Geranium renardii in bloom:

Thanks for letting me share!

Andi, these must be from before the digging began! Let me know if you need more help. Ray out of town with the Navy for 16 days and I really don't want to be packing all our stuff for the remodel. Looking for excuses to do something else!

All my new babies are doing fine. Still in pots, though.

Later,

Kas

Beeeeautiful pics Andi! Love your composition too, great colors and textures all working together. Wow, that blue of Fragrant Blue is amazing, like your epi next to it too.

I love your composition, Andi!!

Very nice. And the blue of Fragrant Blue is amazing.

A lot of the wax on mine has washed downstream to Missouri or Louisiana by now.

Great photos Andi!!!!
Your Regal Splendor is just beautiful. So is Earth Angel!!! I noticed EA looks to have quite a few plants right around it. I probably wouldn't have but I just moved a huge one yesterday and it was quite a job.

Thanks everyone

The Earth Angel, along with most others in those photos (they were taken last year) have been dug up because our house is up for sale and we've put an offer on another house. I have rows and rows of plants potted up and waiting for the move.

Beautiful gardens!!!

Your Regal Splendor is very pretty! I have one potted while I decide where to place it, and, though it's much smaller than yours, it draws a lot of attention from everyone that sees it.
