I have visited the forum regularly, but have never posted. I thought it was time I learned how, so here is a pic (I hope) of Loyalist.

Welcome Junco,
That's a pretty nice Loyalist. Good growth for a white centered variety.

Here's a small Luna Moth

And Love Pat also first year, but putting on some extra growth in August.

Notice my little friend on the top right hand leaf.

Has anyone tried crossing a hosta with an Iris?

A couple years ago I asked Glenn Wilson (Hosta Choice Nursery) if there was a bright green hosta. He suggested this one and it seems to be just perfect. Now my question to Hosta breeders is why aren't there more solid bright green hostas? They would find a market in my garden.

Another great new one from 2011

Wow, McTavish, that Love Pat is gorgeous. How old is it?

Can't wait to see how this one looks this year.

Hope mine starts to look as nice as some of the pictures I have seen on this forum.

I keep waiting to have the "only" one of a kind in this alphabet soup, and it ain't gonna happen. But here is my Lederhosen as it looks this Feb.

bkay - the Love Pat is 5 years old. It looked pretty similar last year. I also have Abiqua Drinking Gourd. They were bought the same year. ADG is SO much smaller. One thing I did with Love Pat was plant it for the first 2 years in sun on the west side of my house. It did seem to give it a good start and I was surprised that with all the sun over there it held onto the blue pretty well.

Hey Moccasin - Your Lederhosen may not be "only" one of a kind, but it just may be one of a kind this month! Looking very very good!

From April/May last year...

a 2 year old, hopefully, it'll go gang-busters in 2012!

Again, another 2 year old...

I like this LEDERHOSEN. It seems to be happy.
