The plant that gets no respect, but if you plant this one in just the right conditions, it is hard to beat. Do I have to name it?
Next Hoosier Dome, you see where the name comes from.

Beautiful hostas Dave!
I hope my Hoosier Dome grows up to look like yours. And I don't have Onstage, I think that's one I ought to look for, very showy.

I bought a Hoosier Dome a few years ago. The year I had the melt down. It never took and disappeared.
All of your babies look wonderful.
I am green with envy.

Beautiful Dave. This is proof a move doesn't hurt a hosta
if you take care while you do it. Love your On Stage, mine just came out last week.

These two are playing well together so far, but for how long?

Beautiful! As a now-transplanted Hoosier, one of these days I'll have to add Hoosier Dome - I remember when the Colts stadium was actually called by that name, and I was sorry to see it renamed.
I'm glad to see your moved hostas looking so good . . . gives me more confidence about mine!

Great looking hosta Dave, but your placement is just as nice as the plants themselves. Good play on color.

Thanks, it's a living sculpture.
Having them all in pots made it great to pick the placement before planting them.

In front of Old Glory, June. Harmonica is on the left.
Between Guardian Angel and Hoosier Dome Climax is much bigger than I expected.... well better stop there.
George's favorite from other thread, getting better. Hypoleuca x Green Fountain.

Wow, those are ALL nice!!
I especially like that Hoosier Dome . . . aptly named.
And I also like your On Stage, and St. Paul, and Risky Business, and ... and ... and ....
Great gardens!

They all look fantastic, Dave!!
Your plants are growing so nicely & your color combinations are wonderful.
I'd think about finding a different spot for Brave Amherst though. Mine is 3 or 4 times bigger than yours.
