I am not new to hostas... I became seriously interested in hosts in the mid-90's, but as time goes on I seem to be adding new ones faster and faster! I now have about 500 cultivars, but since they have barely begun to emerge this spring I don't know yet how many I might have lost. And since snow is forecast for tonight, I'm glad I haven't begun clearing last year's foliage. Here are 2 pictures from a couple years ago to remind me of what is about to happen, soon I hope!
