My little Oreo Cream. Doesn't look as good as Paula's. I think I took this early in the season and never took another picture later on when it filled out more. But it's the only O I have to share.

Fifth year for this plant. It was sold as Obsession. I'm fairly sure it's not that. It seems similar to a medium green Halcyon type. Does anyone have an idea of what it is?

Hey Phil, where's yours?

This has been a very slow grower for me and I hope it looks better this year.

This is a nice blue

I love this hosta and hope it grows well this year.

Harry,

Did you notice the rippling on the leaf pointing straight up at 12:00? Do you think this one is sporting? Do your other OBL's look like that?

I thought OBL was like Frances Williams with yellow margins.

PAUL, how are you getting the frame with the plant overlapping it? What software do you use for your pics?

moccasinlanding, the software was a Christmas gift - Adobe Photoshop Elements 10. I like how it makes the hosta pop for specimen pics. Below is On Stage with the original pic.

Steve,
All three of my OBL's look alike. Probably because they were bought from the same local nursery. They are young and have been transplanted every year. The pic above was a late summer view of one in a sunny location.

They are in more shade now and are not moving any more. Hopefully, they will look more like Francis Williams this season. My FW is beautiful.

Maybe my OBL's were just mismarked!

Gesila, That Ohh La La is striking. I'm usually not a fan of streaked or misted plants but that one looks healthy and wonderful.
