Daily Hosta #3 - Iron Gate Supreme

Post by redcrx »

This is one of the "Iron Gate" series. They are a group out of crosses with plantaginea x 'Tokudama Aureonebulosa'. This is the streaked version that was the first one registered. It puts out large flowers late in the season.

I have two large plants.

And here is the second. The green hunk is a separate plant (a piece that stabilized) but is just too close.

I took out the stable piece and potted it - but didn't get a photo.

Here is Iron Gate Supreme back to normal - actually there are two hunks in the photo - it got broken-up when it went into baskets to keep it from the voles. That's Searing Flame to the left of the group in this photo.

I was out getting a bunch of photos of streakers. They look their best this time of the year. This one has a stable hunk I need to address.

I need to tear up one of my IGS. It's got tons of plain green. It's in a bed with a hardy orchid that going wild and crushing a boarder of small hosta.
