Good morning, Beth! Smaller or not, your Choo Choo Train is impressive! Mine is taking its sweet time getting going. Love that Journey's End. I just ordered it this year from Chris and Brian, and can't wait to get it growing in the garden.
Beautiful shots! I'm glad mine aren't up that far yet, since we are looking at a couple of mornings with temps down in the low 30's..perhaps even lower....early next week.
Thanks for sharing the fresh hosta pics!

I LOVE that Preconceived!

Is it available anywhere or do you and Ron have the only ones?

Just stunning hostas! :o I too hope mine will grow up someday, I love them all, but have to say that 'Preconceived', is absolutely de-bomb! Thanks so much for sharing, gives us something to drool over till our babies get to be mature specimens.
