A few from yesterday. My, the hostas seem huge this year. I've also had to move a few around because we lost a huge ash tree due to Emerald Ash Borer.
'Alligator Shoes' now about 30" in diameter.
I will likely have to move these plants at the end of the summer as we plan to rebuild the walkway near them; so I put them all in a large pot. The 'Baby Bunting' family. Starting at the bottom and moving clockwise, my original 'Pandora's Box' which has been struggling for years. Then 'Hope'. 'Cherish' which has also been struggling. A new 'Pandora's Box' acquired this year. I note that it has more green. Then 'Baby Bunting' and finally, 'Cameo'.
'Blue Ice' - a very small blue.
'Curly Fries', at this point, doing well in near full sun. The ash tree was south of it. I've planted tomatoes in the sun and am hoping they will get bushy enough to provide some shade.
'Cutting Edge' is registered as medium, but nobody told mine that.
I'm calling this one 'Dee's Golden Jewel', though it's the yellow I took out of my 'Jewel of the Nile' about 3 years ago.
'Frisian Pride'
'Fruit Punch' - new this year. Love the wavy yellow leaves.
'Fruit Punch' leaves. Note just the hint of pink at the edge of the leaf.
'Ghost Spirit' was misty this year from the time it emerged.
'Harpoon' - love the free-form mound
'Lakeside Reflecting Glass' - streaked sport from 'Lakeside Looking Glass'
'Liberty'
'Morning Light' - looking good this year as it's finally getting enough shade from the arbor on top of it with a Clematis at the side.
'On Stage' from above
'Paul's Glory'
'Roller Coaster Ride' (with 'Curly Fries' leaves in the background)
'Sara' will get more yellow in the leaves during the season.
'Spilt Milk'
'Sun Power' was languishing in the back yard in a much darker location. 'Avalanche' couldn't take the increased sun once we lost the ash tree. I swapped them and SP is LOVING the new location.
'Tickle Me Pink' - new in 2014 and gets progressively more fluorescent yellow during the season. The tips of the leaves are just a little bit pink.
