Thanks so much, Ann!

It's lovely... I'm especially partial to the ones that have white from the get-go.

VirginiaRose I love your avatar. It makes me want to laugh. Everyone's plants are so lovely, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be Rose's Gunther's Prize. I never knew about streaked hostas until this year. They are just gorgeous.

Thank you Helen! To ATP!! There are a lot of beautiful Hostas here, hope you enjoy yourself.

Welcome to ATP, Helen.

Helen!!

More plants in bloom this week. I'll try not to repeat any, but please bear with me if I do.

'Alligator Shoes'


'Aristocrat' - just ONE little bloomn hiding in the foliage. Interesting, isn't it, how some varieties show off their flowers holding them up proudly while others try to hide them.


'Blue Wedgwood' - another hider


'Bulletproof'


'Cherry Berry' seed pods - showing where the name came from

'Cherry Tart'


'Curly Fries' bud


'Cutting Edge' buds


'Diana Remembered' - fragrant too


'Fragrant Bouquet'

'Frosted Dimples'


'Fujibotan' - double lavender flowers


'Fujibotan' - the whole plant with its very tall scapes


'Ginko Craig' blooms a bit later than 'Allan P. McConnell' which is right in front of it.


'Gemini Moon'


'Fire Island' bud on leafy scape. Not how much red goes up into the leaf on this scape.

I've got more pics edited.

'Halcyon'


'Harpoon' has a spider bloom coming.


'June' - one of my two plants. The other gets less sun and the bloom is delayed as well.


'Little Red Rooster'


'Peace'

Wonderful!

'Rainbow's End' bud


'Remember Me'


bud on a seedling from 'Touch of Class'


I'll have a few more, but I've not yet cropped the images.

The middle one is Remember Me? amazing colors, mine was almost white. I will check on it tomorrow. I love Rainbows End and I have been meaning to order one and I keep forgetting.
I love Genini Moon by the way. My wish list gets bigger. Ann you are a great enabler.

'Fujibotan
JUNE
BROTHER STEFAN
PARADIGN

this is not blooming but see what the slugs did to this one!

I have all my pics edited now. But it's time to take more because some of those buds above have now opened.

'Salute' bloom


bloom on an unknown seedling. Didn't much like this plant until I saw it bloom. It might be kept longer than I expected.


'Stained Glass'


bloom on a seedling - from 'September Sun', I think, but the tag got lost the first winter. This seedling is mature - 6 or 7 years old; so it's not going to get huge. Stays this colour all season and I rather like it, but have not given it a name.


'Sweet Innocence' - this one did nothing much in my regular garden. So last year I dug and divided it, but I always have difficulty getting rid of a plant completely. This last division has spent the year at the back of my veggie garden and is doing really well. Probably getting too shady for veggies anyway, so ...

'The Razor's Edge' has the most interesting buds!


One of my 'Whirlwind' divisions. This one gets more light and sun than the other and is growing faster and blooming more. I divided my original plant a couple of years ago to try part of it in a different location.

'Sweet Innocence'

All are beautiful!

ViolaAnn,

I'm glad you posted 'Rainbow's End' with the red stems on the flowers! Mine is doing that and I don't remember them having red stems! I thought I mislabeled it when I moved it last fall! It is so pretty! Somehow I ended up with two of them, but I don't remember buying a second one...Can't really see a bad side to that story, though. One can never have too many pretty hostas!

A few new pics:

'Bell Ringer' bloom


'A small bud on 'Blue Ivory'


More from 'Cutting Edge' which sends it's flower scapes out nearly horizontally.


The 'Harpoon' buds are swelling and will be open soon.


buds on 'Invincible'

The pods on 'Lemon Frost' are nearly as red as those on 'Cherry Berry'


'Liberty' is another which sends its scapes out in all directions.


'Little Red Rooster'


'Lakeside Mom' pods have just a hint of red. I'm looking forward to growing these seeds.


While 'Loyalist' pods are white.

A streaked seedling of unknown parentage, which I was given when my garden was on an Ontario Hosta Society bus tour in 2010, is blooming for the first time.


That 'Rainbow's End' bud, shown above, has opened up.


'Roller Coaster Ride'


More bloom on 'Salute'


Red scapes on my own seedling from 'Touch of Class'. I love the bright yellow of this one and it keeps its colour well. It's now about 3 years old.


More angular scapes on 'The Razor's Edge'. These scapes are generally very, very tall.
