Wow! They look great! How do you ever leave your yard? Spring Fling is going to have to go on my list, ruffles that are highlighted, just what I was looking for! (you know, for the list. :wink: )

Good Job. :)

Didn't you just put them in last spring? They're overlapping already and look so luscious!

so THAT'S why I'm waiting for Spring Fling to grow up!

and Spider... if my memory is correct, I believe that in addition to the ruffles, SF also has little serrated teeth. Only a few around with that feature.

Great shots, Dave...

Dave , it really does look fantastic! Hard to believe that you only moved in....what?...a couple years ago? Those hostas are obviously loving their new home. I'll look forward to seeing some more pics in the future. :D

Dave, things look great :beer:

I was thinking the same as a few others, the move wasn't that long ago and it looks as if you've been there a while. The plants seem to enjoy their new home as much as you. Lovely scenery.

Yes, I bought it two years ago. Many of the plants are 5 or 6 years old because they grew in my other house garden, and I took the whole clump when I left. I think the most amazing thing is, they all lived in pots for a whole year in between! This is why I love hostas, they grow and are hard to kill!
I have two Spring Fling hostas in my yard, one at my parents' house that are big like this one now. It really is a good looker at every age I have to say. The ruffled edges were there from the first year I had it.
Tracy's Emerald Cup was a bonus plant from Chris at Hallson's.

Looks like you found the perfect location for your addiction to grow, Dave. Beautiful hostas! :D ! I was hoping my Spring Fling would bounce back this year. 1st it was strangled by roots & then affected badly by the freeze 2 yrs ago. Everything around it looks great this year, and it is barely there. Guess I'd better get another one. It is definitely a gorgeous hosta when the conditions are right. Like yours. :cool:

Thanks all.
Looking again at the Spring Fling photo, that dark green one might be Second Wind, which is an all green version of Whirlwind.
