Beautiful gardens, Rose.

It was too windy and I needed a break from yard work, so I just took pictures today...

Cool As A Cucumber

Wow Rose, those are gorgeous! Especially like Dripping Lemon Custard and Prairie Rainbow. Your gardens are a feast for the eyes; you sure can grow great looking hostas!

Wow, I have been wondering where all the hosta pictures have been! Have you had the white hosta very long? I had heard they are not very hardy. They sure are a conversation piece. You have a beautiful garden. Love the drifts of hosta. I like seeing close up and the landscape shots.
Thanks for taking the time to post them.

Teresa,

This is the 3rd year for White Feather. The first one I had only lasted 3 years, so I'll see if this one is going to return next spring! The chilly, damp weather has damaged the edges of the leaves on White Feather and Zebra Stripes. They are pretty fragile little plants, but worth it in the spring.

It really adds some contrast to a sea of green Good luck with it!

@bluegrassmom

I'm sorry, I are you asking about the white one that's in the picture with Vivacious? If so, that one is called Sail Ho, and I've had it for 3 years. It is a medium sized hosta that seems to be getting prettier every year. I first thought you meant White Feather, but I see that you may be asking about another. Sail Ho seems to keep its white coloring for quite a while.

No, I was asking about White Feather. I love art and I love to watch for contrast in plantings too.

We had a tree removed so now I have to fill in the bare spot... Started on that today.

Soooo beautiful Rose !!! How many hostas do you have ? Love your beautiful garden...
I only have three or four hostas, love to have more but I don't have much shades... thanks for sharing !

I hope I'm not repeating myself...I posted this one on some sites yesterday. This is part of a large bed in my backyard.

Hi Rose 1656,
Beautiful garden! Loved Picture 47 in your post and have a question about one of the Hostas in that picture. There is a very tall and large bird on the left half of the photo. Below that bird, at about 7 o'clock is a large gold-leafed hosta that is very beautiful and kind of glows. The leaves appear to be edged in green. Could you tell the name of the hosta please?
Thank you so much!

Those are amazing hostas. That last shot is absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks for showing us.

Rose, gorgeous.

Are you mulching with pine needles?

@hostalady
That's Okay Dokay.

@professors. Yes, I do use pine needles for mulch.

Thanks for the kind words! It's been a pretty nice year for my gardens. Enjoying them more since I've retired and have time to play in the dirt.

@Rose1656
I will look for it in this area. Thank you!
