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.
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
Ed, what a nice, nice collection/arrangement, and evidentally the dog thinks so too. they like to stick around us while we are working, don't they. CHAR
Happiness is making a bouquet of those flowers within reach ! ! !
