Oh, say can you C's....

Please add pics of your hostas that begin with the letter 'C'

Candy Dish, a hybrid of Urajiro Hachijo - 1st year in my garden - like a lot

Chain Lightning - 2nd year, HL pic shows some pebbling

Color Festival , a sport of Enterprise - 2nd year in a pot. So far has grown well (went from 1 to 7 divisions).

    I have a few to share:

    Cameo

    Captain's Adventure

    Close-up of CA's leaf

    Cat And Mouse

    Centerfold (a young one)

    Change Of Heart

    Cherish

    Chirp

    Corkscrew

    Country Mouse

    Cream Cheese

    Cutting Edge

    I have a few others that I hadn't taken individual pictures on, and most of my hostas are quite young. Also, seems a lot of my C's are minis and smalls. Love the little ones.

    Very nice pictures everybody.
    Karen, you said you had a lot of mini's. Did you get the book on small hostas. It makes you want them all.

    Some of my 'C's'

    Third year

    Very sun tolerant and fast growing. Probably my favorite variegated plant of this size.

    An impulse buy from Home Depot for $4.99. I'd never even heard of this one before but I can't wait to see it this year.

    Fifth year. Not a fast grower but interesting and different if you can see it close up.

    Sixth year but has been mature for the last three. One of my top five. Don't keep track because I might have 50 top 5 plants.

    Hey 'Other Steve', Your plants are great. I'm especially impressed with Calypso. I had thought it was hard to grow. I'll have to add that to my list. Wouldn't it be nice planted next to Carolina Sunshine? Myrle

    More than a few to add...

    Carnival, has some Beatrice and Frances Williams in it - edges draw string, better with later leaves, moved it from shade...seems better in a brighter location

    Cascades, hybrid Banana Sundae x montana Aureomarginata - 2nd year

    Celestial, Dorothy Benedict x hypoleuca (seems to be a few with this heritage) - 2nd year

    Choo Choo Train, surprised no one shared this one - slow to get established so far, last 2 years it is showing promise

    Continental Divide, 'Dorothy Benedict' x ('Elatior' x 'Niagara Falls') - 1st year, TC

    Corn Muffins, Glory x King Tut - 2nd year

    Crepe Suzette, 2nd year, get the feeling this will grow fast like a weed

    Crusader, a Flamboyant hybrid

    Cuyahoga, hybrid of Dorothy Benedict x Swoosh - 3rd year
