Seems like a good day to start our hosta "story". I'm going to start backwards though and just share a few photos of the hostas as they are in our garden today ... and in a future blog I'm going to share the whole colourful story about these hostas and the wonderful memories associated with them. These are not all of them by far. And even though we have a large garden with a fair bit of shade, we have some giant plants appearing in some of the beds and we know we have to make some new beds to accommodate them very very soon. Hmmm ... who needs lawn anyway : )
A most impressive hosta is the one that grows directly under our kitchen window. (First image and last three images). The plant is huge (leaves up to 13" width) and the pattern and colouring in every leaf is stunning.
We have two plantings of Royal Standards (third image and ninth image). They don't mind a bit of sun and they flower much later than all the other plants. They have the most fragrant flowers of them all.
And then there are the Guacamoles, Halcyons, Hearts Ease, Loves Pat, Francis Williams and many, many more. And how they came to live with us?
... that's a story for another day : )
