Getting tough to be outside without any spray the past few days, so had to work quickly with camera.....

Cutting Edge slicing thru

Tattoo making its mark after being moved to an expanded garden area that gets some morning light

Queen of the Seas ripping it up

Summer Breeze finally blowing in

Blue Cadet snapping to attention

Montana Aureomarginata is the hosta that first got me interested in hosta. So happy this one is starting to show off.

Dancing Stars showing it has a few moves

Kabitan a small bright spot

Spilt Milk had some huge pips this spring and now the leaves have poured out

Spring Fling what a great name for a showy flirt

Praying Hands saying grace

Thanks for looking.

Paul, your beautiful hosta are endlessly pleasing. I lost my Kabitan and decided not to replace it, have First Mate instead. But it sure is tempting me. I could get to liking Spilt Milk if I had one like yours. At this point, believe it or not, I am exercising RESTRAINT......yeahhhh, right.....but close enough.

WOW, loving your Queen of the Seas. Your Mildred Seaver hostas seem to grow quite well in your gardens!

Maybe I might have to move my Spilt Milk. It has a lot of milk in it, but the color is an ugly blueish-green and I don't like it's shape. I absolutely love yours!

The hostas are loving the rain this season. My hostas that are in full sun are growing like chia pets right now!

Paul - did you have to stay up into the wee hours of the night fashioning captions, or are you just naturally that clever???

Maybe next year my 'Cutting Edge' and 'Montana aureomarginata' will bear more than just a passing resemblance to yours. Here's hoping.

Very nice pix, Paul. And not bad one liners either.

Paul, you set a very high bar with great pictures and light quips too. Keep on talking.

So much to admire here. Every one of them a striking example of the happy hosta. I have loved your parade of blue cadets in the past, but I like your use of the single plant among contrasting colors. You had me hooked with Cutting Edge, and I agree that your Oreo is really starting to show its stuff. Thanks for this.
