Looking good!

I see you have a peachy orange heuchera near Halcyon. I also love that color next to blue hostas. In fact I have a lotof orange and blue mixed in my home decor...just find that visually pleasing! I hope you are staying dry- more rain on the way here.

Yes I love that combo also-that is Heuchera Kassandra next to Halcyon. Hope your basement did not flood-Its been pouring here since about 1pm today and a 40% chance again tomorrow. I have a feeling its going to be like this all summer. Hosta's and Astilbe loving it-my tomato plants, Irises and Columbine not so much. Keep dry!

I enjoyed seeing your pictures. The hosta that stood out for me is Climax. What beautiful large leaves! I love hostas with big leaves and margins.

As for your First Frost, it looks like the margins are whitish colored, but mine has more of a yellow margin. Or is it just the camera?

Thanks rufie & Owen-
First Frost has more of a creamy yellowish white edge, it gets quite a bit of sun (when it comes out) also my camera kind of stinks, (looking for a new camera when I have the $$) . I love Hosta Climax also-only the second year in my garden, but was a nice size when I got it from Chris.
