Any of those in the last picture that want to move to Ohio are welcome. :lol:

They look great. I was trying to see if you Old Glory or Diva are about to flower. Just curious as both of ours have begun to toss up scapes.

Thanks for the look around!

Thanks! :D

No scapes on either OG or Diva, but Diva is going to be enormous! The leaves are probably 10 x 7 now and it is only 2nd year in the ground here. I thought she was going to be med sized but she sure fooled me!

Well you could move that pot out of the way, Alexa - but it looks to me like you've still got plenty of room for a year or 2 in that last pic. ;)

So what are the 3 hostas in your pleasing trio?

And what is that small greenish/streaky hosta to the right of Xanadu??

They're all looking great!! :)

LOL Ren! I moved the pot last night... I am still trying to figure out where to put that new maple.

THe small streaky thing is a lame-o Korean Snow that has been a 1 eye wonder ever since I got it 3 - 4 years ago. It never gets bigger or increases. Harumph!

And the pleasing trio os Frances Williams, an all yellow sport of FW and Katherine Lewis. THey just look good together this year.....

THanks for looking!

Try putting Korean Snow in more sun. Mine gets some mid-day sun and likes it. It doesn't burn. Hey - what do you have to lose?
