A couple of my better looking hostas

Post by davidpowell »

I recently moved about 5 hostas from the back patio area to the new front bed, so those aren't looking too hot currently. However, the ones that were previously up front are looking pretty groovy.

From right to left: Blazing saddles, A touch of class, Xanadu (recently moved from back a split 3 ways), Great Expectations (planted this year), Xanadu, First Frost, Elegans (came from seed)

Touch Of Class up close, and if I may so, it is quite the looker.

First Frost up close

Blazing Saddles

Fragrant Bouquet by the back deck. A little burned, but still looking good.

Sorry in advance about the size of the pictures. I can crop them, but not change the size.

I couldn't open that last one, but all the rest looked great!

That last link should work now. And thanks renaldo! Blazing saddles started off looking rather odd, so I think it just had to go through a teenage year or two to get to looking normal.

Very nice, David. I like that Blazing Saddles. Does that one get pretty large? It looks like a good size now. :)
