Nice pics. I'm not familiar with 'Lewis and Clark' and it doesn't seem to be in the database. Please add it if it's not already there. I love the buds. For some varieties, I think they are pretty special.

Rose, do you have a picture of Lewis and Clark hosta? I added it to the data base just needs to be approved and then we can add data and pics.

I found something pretty blooming today.

Hosta 'Fragrant Bouquet'

This is a picture of 'Lewis and Clark' from last year. I still haven't got it planted in the ground!

Beautiful blooms everyone!




Two Minuteman and a Fragrant Queen.

Frosted Jade (front, center) has already bloomed and finished.

These are still in the *baby* bed -they were new plants last year, I think.

Those are just beautiful chelle!



I added 'Mister Twister'. does anyone have a photo? Rose?

This picture is from last year.

Thanks Rose! (that is a very beautiful hosta)

Pretty!!!

I am going to have to add a few more lilies to the hosta beds. I lie the flower combination.

That's pretty Jewell. I don't think mine would bloom in the shade but I am thinking about some red daylilies near the edge of the shade for morning sun. Got to be a good bloomer though. What kind of hosta is that? Is that Stargazer? I was thinking about adding some, they smell wonderful don't they.

Susan, the blue vision hosta and star gazer lily are on the northern edge of the shade garden. It gets some late afternoon sun in the summer. Lilies and phlox have so much fragrance it makes for a multiple sensory experience walking through the gardens.

Good advice! I wanted to plant some red daylilies and a stargazer, I have a white phlox I just got in the mail. I can't wait to smell the fragrance.

I found a few more blooming today, so thought I'd post pictures of them...I think I've missed most of my hostas blooming this year!

Peace



Gunther's Prize



Potomac Pride Splash



A beautiful hibiscus, but unfortunately I can't find the tag!

A week later and I have more in bloom. I'll try to avoid those I've already posted, but bear with me if I accidentally include one.

'Blue Wedgwood' - not particularly spectacular blooms and this garden always gets a lot of junk dropped in it from the tree just the other side of the fence.


'Cherry Berry'


'Diana Remembered' is also slightly fragrant.


'Ice Cream'


'Janet'

'Karin'


'Illicit Affair' has more of the junk from the tree.


'Little Red Rooster'


'Pixie Vamp'


'Praying Hands' - the flower scape is longer than last year, but still hiding.

'Revolution'


'Summer Music'


'Warwick Curtsey'


A weedling that MAY be a seedling from 'Lakeside Zinger'


'Whirlwind'


'Wylde Green Cream'

Rose, I love the Hostas and your Hibiscus. It does not look familiar to me. I have a red one called 'Lord Baltimore' but the leaves are different.

Ann , Great pictures! The weedling reminded me of some I dug up from various places in the yard, they came from the Midnight Rider, which was here at this house when we moved in. I planted the seedlings or weedlings under the birch tree and after three years they bloomed. It was sweet, I felt like a proud mother, of some type.

Very nice!

Ann, are the light areas on Summer Music more of a cream color, or do they have a yellow cast? There's a picture in the DB that shows yellow, but I don't see an explanation given for the difference.

Hi Chelle - mine has always been quite white from the time it emerges.
