Hello all,
I am a fairly new hosta collector, having started in 2012 after building a new home on a lovely shaded property. I've been reading some of the forum posts and wanted to join to share my crazy enthusiasm for these truly special plants.
I have 70 different hosta varieties in our back yard gardens, and increasing every month I purchased 25 or so from Hallsons earlier this spring, and am making a trip down there in 2 weeks for a few more. Anyhow, I am happy to have found this forum so that I can meet you all.

Welcome Lisa!
We will be happy to enable your burgeoning hosta addiction! I don't get on the forum as much as I used to but I still check in now and then. Try to make it to the Hallson's get together Aug. 2, loads of fun and you get to meet other forum members.

Good Morning Chris, Tigger ands pauhaus! Thank you for the warm welcome. I don't know anyone up in my area of the Michigan woods (yet) who has a passion for hosta gardening, so it is great to be part of the forum now, and be surrounded by others who do
I've already got a list of plants to purchase when I visit the nursery Friday July 25. Can't wait to further expand my collection! Hoping to also meet other forum members who may be there as well.
