I'm so jealous of how far along your hostas are! We've had a chilly spring and mine are so behind. I think I may have lost one NOID but miraculously all the others are pulling through!

Ridiculous looking right now. I'm too paranoid to do much weeding and cleaning up until they're looking stronger.

Your War Paint is gorgeous

it's on my wish list. I think I need to add Sugar Snap, too!!!

I did manage to knock quite a few off my list this season, though:

Orange Marmalade
Flemish Steel
Mouse Capades
Yellow Polka Dot Bikini
Sun Mouse
Emerald Necklace
Stained Glass
Lakeside Paisley
Hawaiian Luau

Still all babies!

Looks great Rose, are you anywhere near Minooka, IL?

oooh, kaleidochrome is also one i've been eyeballing! I'm not a huge streaker fan but that one is pretty consistent and somewhat subtle. you have an awesome collection <3

@crawgarden

I live about an hour south of the Quad Cities.

@JLWilliams

Kaleidochrome is one of the few streaked hosta that has kept it's beautiful colors! I've wasted a lot of money on ones that are now pretty plain. Another one that has kept it's streaks well is Fickle Blue Genes.

I think "Backyard Monster" would make a great name for a large hosta!

Gary,

There is one named that, but I don't think one is it! I think this one is Journey's End.
