OK, trying this photobucket thing. Hope it works. Also trying the typing between pics to see how that works, if at all.
Here goes!!

Yours is gorgeous Barbara! Mine is not looking too pretty this year due to frost nip or rabbit nip or both.

Gorgeous!
I just got this one from Chris a couple of weeks ago - it is awesome looking even as a new plant, but I can't WAIT for it to grow up and liik like THAT one!
Good Growing!

Amazing pics, Barb. I love the one with the brunnera blooming in the foreground...those tiny little blue flowers just do something marvelous for an allready outstanding hosta.
I just said to my son-in-law the other day, if I had to leave and could only take one hosta with me right now, it would have to be Liberty. It's been a fast grower for me, and you just can't take your eyes off it!

Looks like you've got a nice start on a good one, Debbie.
Glad you got the thumbnails figured out too.
Beautiful, Linda!!

It's one of a very small percentage of my hostas that aren't ugly from the freeze and/or cutworms. One day it'll grow up and look like Barb's!!
Nice Grouping Linda!!

Love the night shot.
