more pics from my garden

The plant that gets no respect, but if you plant this one in just the right conditions, it is hard to beat. Do I have to name it?

Next Hoosier Dome, you see where the name comes from.

Beautiful hostas Dave! :cool: :cool:

I hope my Hoosier Dome grows up to look like yours. And I don't have Onstage, I think that's one I ought to look for, very showy.

I bought a Hoosier Dome a few years ago. The year I had the melt down. It never took and disappeared.

All of your babies look wonderful.

I am green with envy.

Beautiful Dave. This is proof a move doesn't hurt a hosta
if you take care while you do it. Love your On Stage, mine just came out last week.

Beautiful! As a now-transplanted Hoosier, one of these days I'll have to add Hoosier Dome - I remember when the Colts stadium was actually called by that name, and I was sorry to see it renamed.

I'm glad to see your moved hostas looking so good . . . gives me more confidence about mine!

Great looking hosta Dave, but your placement is just as nice as the plants themselves. Good play on color.

Thanks, it's a living sculpture.
Having them all in pots made it great to pick the placement before planting them.

I especially like that Hoosier Dome . . . aptly named.

They all look fantastic, Dave!! :D Your plants are growing so nicely & your color combinations are wonderful. :cool: 8-) :cool: I'd think about finding a different spot for Brave Amherst though. Mine is 3 or 4 times bigger than yours.
