I forgot to mention....

On Friday, I went to a local flower nursery hoping to find a flower that does well in shade and is bright and pretty and not drab and boring.... Well, I found hostas for $1.50... Teeny tiny little guys labeled as Wide Brim but I don't believe this is correct. I believe it might be a Fortunei Albomarginata. What do you think? But, it's healthy and pretty and it fits perfectly in my little flower pot right now!

Showing how small it really is compared to the other patio babies.

So after Luna Moth FINALLY arrives, that brings me to 16 hostas now!

You really need some racks mounted on the outside of your porch railing, you are adding them up fast and won't have a way in and out of your home soon ;)

I know right!! LOL! But this one is super small... I was debating where to put him and I just sat him there until I figured out where to place him for now... I decided he was fine there. He fits just right. His teeny size is actually convenient for me right now! LOL!!

That could be Wide Brim. My Wide Brim looked like that when it was young, you won't recognize it in a few years. Here's mine, three years apart, I can't believe it's the same hosta.

I figured so Ken. So I have it on my hosta list as Wide Brim/Fortunei Albomarginata (?)

He is cute though... Little guy amongst other bigger little guys that he makes look enormous by comparison! And it was a good deal at only $1.50!!

Yea Gesila I saw the pics of the Wide Brim adult and no way does it look like it! But I guess I'll have to wait until maybe next year to ID him for sure!
