I see lots of new growth on the evergreens, dormants are still enjoying the winter slumber, 2006 is well on the way.

PS, I do have other plants besides daylily's, :lol:

Oh my, Ed, Love the daylilies, but the group picture of the hostas is fantastic!

Ya know, I put my first hosta order in this year. I hope I do as nice of a job as you in their grouping. :wink:

Hi Sharon

I had a hard to mow area between 3 trees so I took a chance with the hosta's, I have been a fan ever since.
Thanks for the compliment also

Oh Ed, I can feel the shade in your hosta area. I love my daylilies but on a hot day when you can't stay out in the sun anymore, what a relief to hit the shady spots to cool off.

tma the hosta are as addictive as daylilies. I only had a couple of small areas that could handle shade plants and by the second year, I was totally hooked. Now we have to make/move fences etc. to handle the shade addiction too.

Awesome photos!

I like your daylilies too, but oh, those hostas! What a serene setting!

Thanks so much for sharing your little spot of heaven!

I find Hosta's are just a wonderful plant to work with.
Not to many years ago I wouldn't of ever even considered them at all. Now I am hooked, not hybridizing hooked, but hooked.
Easy to work with and unlike myself, get better with age :lol:

Ed, now there is a combination I would never have tried ... the hosta with the pink heurchera, but OMH, it works. How startliing!

Those heurchera seem to go with a lot of plants.
