You guys joke...but those would be so friggin cool in a garden!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: Looks like some sort of tropical hostas!

Can you imagine how much you would PAY to have a hosta look like the one of those two? The red one would be awesome...and the blue and purple one would be too cool!

Have any of you noticed that Mr. Leafmould never responds to our questions about when his hostas will be available for the rest of the drooling masses? Or is it just me...? :roll: :lol: I was just thinking the same thing...... :wink: Gorgeous, gorgeous plant. Really amazing! Congrats on probably th...

Potting them up is an excellent idea. Then they look like they are already 'packed up and ready to go'. And like Chris suggested throw some things out that are on sale and you should be good to go. I can understand the owners wanting the landscaping to still look good...but it does sound like if the...

Molly, That would be my other choice. I should probably clarify the "careless worker" issue: I am getting my house powerwashed and painted for free by a group of volunteers. I do not feel right complaining about my plants but must do something to protect them. I think I will explain to the group on...

Those workers should have been more careful to not trample your landscaping! I would be very upset. Im sorry to hear this for you. If it is the same company that is coming back to paint your house, I would make darn sure they knew about what happened, and that it should not happen again. IMO, I woul...

Nice looking Francee. Mine out this way are suffering this year. Normally mine have done beautifully in the heat and more sun that they probably should have. But with the drought, they are sunburned and getting on the yellow side. They are growing strong though. I have two that flank my front door a...

You're not kidding when you say 'dense mound'. That is packed full of gorgeous looking leaves! Really nice, and very unique. Easy to see why it would be a favorite :D

Your 'Patriot' looks great. I bought one this year too....pretty much just to say that I have one. Its not my fav in the garden...yet. I really enjoy my Francee hosta as they have gotten very large, and am hoping this one becomes a fav as well. I almost bought a fire and ice yesterday, but the kids ...

I have some pretty big ones on a few. My 'Francee' hostas are the most developed...and have about 12 scapes each. One of the scapes, I noticed the other day has 3 good sized leaves on it. I was debating on when I would have to cut the scapes off...they are just about done with their flowers.

Re: August Moon

August Moon IMHO is a must-have in my garden. I have 2 that are wonderful. AM grows without any bother and is a delight in the garden. Remember the 3 step program: sleep, creep, leap! MM I think I was just hoping to see a little growth on the little guy....it is so pretty and I would have liked to ...

I like the bigger leaf shape on this one compated to UA. Seems to make a bigger impact. Nice looking plant! I have a soft spot for the white margined ones....my Francee plants (though pretty mundane compared to other 'more exciting' hosta) have brought me many years of enjoyment. Just because they a...
