This isn't a Hosta but it is tuff!

On Thursday, 3/5/15, it was -7 for a low temp. A few days later and this Tulip is starting to grow and it isn't even in the ground.

Who has multiples of a Hosta? One of my multiples is 'Liberty'. I was able to purchase a bunch of them at closeout prices in October, 2012. The price was right and 'Liberty' is one of my most favorite Hostas. http://photos.imageevent.com/tsbccowboy/theyardplants/2013/may13/websize/Liberty.JPG Libert...

Each of these guests are incredible! Just think, if we only had grass lawns we would miss many of these guests. These moths were hanging out on a 'Satisfaction' petiole. I was saying "get a room". They were saying "mind your own &**#@& business". It is so fun to coexist with our guests. http://photo...

ZKathy & TJ,

I don't know what vignettes are, but you both have beautiful vignettes! Great colors and contrast!

ZKathy, we have to figure out how to get your photos upright. Are they in Photobucket or on your computer?

Please keep the garden guest photos coming! Love the "guests in our gardens". Newhostalady, it seems like a Hosta flower stalk couldn't support a bird the size of a cardinal but they do. Cool pic. A pair of mallards have been visiting every year for a long time. I think they just like to see what ch...

Welcome NewHostaLady!

It is really nice to be able to see enlarged photos here. Your ADG leaf looks cool with the water drops!

Way cool garden guests!

With all these cool guests to our gardens it raises a question, are they guests in our gardens or are we caretakers for their gardens?

Bkay, It is a good thing we can make your photos larger so it is easier to see your little guests. These guests of mine are Ichneumon Flies, also known as Ichneumon Wasps. They are kind of cool looking but it is a bit unsettling when they fly around you. http://photos.imageevent.com/tsbccowboy/theya...

After JGH shared the Idiots fantastic travels to Hawaii on the Garden Bench, here is H. 'Blue Hawaii' as a reminder of that beautiful place. Please share your photos of H. 'Blue Hawaii' or Hawaii.
