Nice looking shade bed! I have many coming up but not many are unfurled. I have several that have freeze damage, but not as many as I thought I would!
I don't know the names of many of my hosta anymore, so I'll just post pictures without names...

I try to map my hosta beds but sometime I forget and squeeze in a new purchase. I think I may try using the 3/8 inch brother tape on the plastic picks instead of my Pawpaw markers that I use with daylilies. The foliage will cover it up but I would have an ID.

I had most labeled with the Paw Paw markers. Unfortunately my pups decided that those markers would be a fun thing to play with! I finally just gave up! I guess I don't need to know the names to enjoy them, right?

Yes, it will be stunning in a couple of weeks! I am so glad that they are getting the red into the leaves now. Very interesting, any more varieties like that?

Not that I have seen or heard, it seems like there is some emphasis on purple and blue streaking

I have purple flash, this should be its 3rd year, I will check it when it starts coming up. Last year it suffered some, but I did notice the blueish purple in the center of the leaves.

I just googled holar purple flash. Please do post pictures of your plant this year! It looks like it will be a pretty one. I'm definitely going to add that to my list!

Rose, I am loving the virtual tour of your garden. With this pandemic going on it is the best way. You have a lovely collection!

Thanks Teresa! Freeze damage is slowly disappearing as new growth comes on. Fridays forecast is in the low 30's for evening temps! Fingers crossed that the temps will stay a little warmer.
