Thanks! I just got two 'Cracker Crumbs' and I do love 'Green Eyes'. Tic Toc and Tiny Tears are awesome, how did you get it to upload the jpg pic only? I mean how did you get the link that takes you straight to the jpg image?
Actually I am loving all these, still looking.....

Susan - I went to where I posted the original picture and right clicked on it. Then I selected "Open link in new tab" which opened up the picture and I copied the link.

Thanks!! I do like that much better.

One of my new Hosta 'Grand Prize'


It seems to be changing as the summer begins. Does anyone else have this one? I can also use some help with my miniature Hosta collection. I could use some help.

What would you like to know about miniature hostas?

Are you still looking for more miniature hostas?

Hosta 'Grand Prize' is very nice!

So many nice hosta out there, wish I had more shade.

Many of my Hosta with yellow or white in them get up to 6 hours of full sun a day. Well, Profesora, I'd love to be able to put names on them. "Look at my little "Hosta" garden doesn't sound very professional. I own about 45 miniatures and the one plants here I don't have names for except Hosta 'Curly Fries'. Maybe some day I'll sit down and read the descriptions for the plants and try and figure out what they are>

Not many of us are posting names anyway. Just a nice place to post pictures of your gardens.

My Grand Prize starts out with a really bright border and changes to more of a creamy color as the season goes on...

No matter what time of the summer, it's a pretty one!

Yes that is pretty.Looks to be growing very well too.

Treehugger,

Post pictures and maybe we can help you identify your miniature hostas.

- but best to make a new thread for that.

While I am waiting and waiting for my flowers to start blooming here in the far north, I thought it might be an opportunity to appreciate the virtues of beautiful foliage, and the #1 source of that is hostas. I certainly cannot image a garden without them, and since so much of my yard is shade or part shade, that gives me lots of opportunity to use them. Herewith a few recent photos. I don't know the names of a lot of these, as I took them from an enormous hosta garden that my daughter has -- it came with her house, so we don't know what they are. Someday we need to rent a forklift to divide them....

Anyone been to Venero Gardens in Minnesota? Fabulous hosta gardens, and an excellent source for hosta.

How lucky for your daughter and you to find a home with a nice bonus! I'm trying to imagine the day I have to leave mine behind !

Thanks Rose. My daughter is not a gardener and does not like the hostas. They only remain in her yard because they are too big to move. I periodically take a few chunks for my yard, but otherwise they just sit in the area behind her garage.
