Hallson Gardens

Daffodils, Ditch Lilies, and Chipmunks are waking up here.

Cheers to Spring !

I recall this description from three years ago when I received my H. 'Mojito' from you and the central eye was smashed a bit. I called, in my usual dramatic fashion, and you calmly assured me that this was not a bad thing, nor was the plant any worse off ... Sure as sun in summer, I had 2 eyes pop u...

Looks an awful lot like 'Awakening Angel' to me ... or an immature 'Ultramarine'. There is also 'Mikawa-no-Yuki'.

Just my three cents
Ludi

I vote 'Yellow River'.

Best,
Ludi

Thanks David !

It resembles Jade Cascade in all other features except height ... which is what prompted me to ask the age since the width is sure there for an older specimen.

Looks like kikutii just landed on my 'Wishlist'.

Best,

Hi PlantNutz, At first glance I thought ... Robert Frost ... Then I read you indicated it is some years old ... old enough I would think to have matured into its margins ... which if that is the case, the margins on yours do not seem to be wide enough for Robert Frost . Then I thought Christmas Tree...

Simply Gorgeous, David !!!

May I ask how old your Jade Cascade is ?

Best,
Ludi

EDIT: Dave to David

Silver Star has a sort of personality about it. Truly, one of a kind.

Took this pic today and really enjoyed the form of the pips unfurling.

Hey Don !!! :beer: This one is Sooooooo on 'my list'. I have admired pics for some years now, but it never seems to make it into the cart. :???: We will see what 2016 brings since I am already past my budget for this year ! Oops :-? Your's is looking delightful already. Do be sure to come back and u...

Thanks Chris ! Means a lot coming from you, since they are infact your introductions. No one knows them better, right ? :lol: At some point, I may have tested your sanity and patience in obtaining this collection, but it was well worth it if it means the legacy can live on. Not to mention they are a...

Hi BKay !!! :D Personally, I only fertilize my potted hostas to make up for what they are missing by not being in the ground. The natural microbial network that exists below the soil more than takes care of my 'in ground' plants, but I do supplement with organic matter directly in the fall, and indi...

Here's my little Rat today.

Here's some Hallson Hostas fresh off the camera today !

An ornamental ginger that I have had for two years now. This was by far the best year for flowers. https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7631/17002702508_b1cf46d770_c.jpg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8827/16983017507_98256a25a5_c.jpg https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7660/17002913530_f1663c8ac2_c.jpg https:...

Or more formally known as Sanguinaria canadensis 'Multiplex', this might be one of the most gorgeous spring flowers I have yet had the privilege to grow. Snapped these today ... nearly took my breath away ... thought it only right to share with my gardening friends. :beer: Enjoy ! :D Ludi https://fa...

Good Morning, I thought it might be interesting to see everyone's 'Early Riser' lists. I enjoy documenting my hostas beyond just pictures and often will make little lists like this for various traits I notice. I started mine in 2013, missed 2014, but picked it back up again this year. I hope to see ...

We are LIVE here in Philadelphia. :D Just tipped 100+ of my potted hostas off their sides last Monday. Pips were already starting to come up sideways. Aristocrat, Percy, and Rainbow's End are in the ground but about an inch up out of the soil. Hellebore are in full bloom as well as daffodils. Crocus...
