Hosta K 2014

Children when asked "What does love mean?"

"Love is what's in the room when you at Christmas if you stop opening presents and listen." Bobby age 7.

"Love is when your puppy licks your face even after you left him alone all day". Mary Ann age 4

"Love is what makes you smile when you're tired."
Terry age 4

Knock us over with your Ks:

Kabitan, first year. I was so impressed with this little guy last year that he was the first hosta ordered.

    Key West. Esox48 said the bed its in is too crowded. I'm trying to decide if I should move KW to more shade. Pic taken Sept 10.

    Well here's the bed, KW with Golden Gate and Journey's End. JE has a new home designated and I'm thinking to move GG into the KW spot and KW all the way to the right which is shadier.

    zkathy, my Key West looks just like that, and it has both years I've had it. I thought it was the heat.

    First of my Hostas out in the spring and last to bloom in the fall.
    Not too bad for mid October.

    Krossa Regal. I think KR was my first hosta about 8 years ago. Despite 5 transplants, this hosta is over 5' wide. The vase shape makes KR stand out.

    Krossa Regal is the centerpiece of my front bed. Though surrounded by some big neighbors, KR clearly stands out.

    I planted a Komodo Dragon late last fall after I saw Myrle's in one of the alphabet threads. I was so rushed with planting a few hostas so late in the season, that I didn't take a picture.

    I love my KATIE Q.

    HarryShoe, what a joy your front bed must be to passersby. It would stop me in my tracks and I would want to loiter.

    KIFUKURIN KO MAME, a really robust mini. I have 2 others which I plan to reunite with these two.

    I love to grow:
    Thanks for the compliment. Katsuragawa Beni has been a good performer for me. And it looks good after many have faded.

    Your Kiwi Black Magic looks good - some of the older ones pictured look quite large and healthy.

    I've got to move my puny Key West into more sun. No pics of that, but I have a few leaf shots.

    Kifukurin Otome, a mini and a sweet carefree stoloniferous HOSTA. The margin retains its golden colour throughout the season and not a commonly grown hosta. The slugs leave it alone. Very pretty flowers.

    I found another picture of Kiwi Full Monty from 2013 in my folder and it certainly looks different then for the other one I posted this past season. I was sure it was in the wrong file and McTavish thinks it is the same . All pictures from the month of June .. maybe getting more mature now then this pic? What do you think?
