Nice pictures Paul. It's only the 2nd of June. Still plenty of hosta time left for pictures. I have considered a couple of these. For example Pistache. It is very unique.

Beverly

Nice pics Paul. I really love the color on Blue River.

I still have some that are small pips!

Gesila

Nice looking hostas,Mine are still opening in the other northern part of the world.

lovely as always, Paul. It pretty much feels like "early Spring" here too.

As always, your plants are gorgeous, Paul.
I have added Regal Twist to my want list ;)
Vanessa

Lovely pics Paul, better late than never. I really like the look of Blue River.

Denis

Ken, no problem with spring desication this year, lol.

Beverly, I would pick up Pistache again in a second.

Gesila and Denis, Blue River looked like it maybe had a little streaking when I got it, now I think it was more likely margins running down into center of leaf. It had a Toy Soldier type line around the dark areas last year.

stoc and coll thanks for the comments.

Vanessa, only pics I've seen of Regal Twist make it look unruly, so we'll see in a few years.

Paul

Such lovely hostas, Paul! Love, love Pistache! Blue River leaf shot is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your pics - I've been waiting with anticipation. :-). You have a lot of different hostas I recall and many mature ones among them. I hope we see many more of them as the season heats up.

Very nice, Paul. You have some choice selections.

Thanks.

Very nice hostas - was it worth the wait? I would love to be able to find Pistache.

Nice plants,Paul! Maybe my hostas would have looked different if they had come up a little later? The freeze did a number on mine. a lot are coming back really well,though. I got a Regal Supreme last year,and it is looking good so far. Thanks for sharing! Phil

Updated pic of Aristocrat at mid-season...tree smutz and all. Starting to regain margin width after getting moved a few years ago. One of my favorites.

Paul

Paul, I'm heartened to see your huge Aristocrat! It is simply beautiful in its markings and wider margin coming in ..... which is what caught my eye back in 2011 when I bought mine. Then last year I found pill bugs under it, potted it and it has yet to be planted...still small but beautiful. Seeing your mature one has moved me to do it today! Thank you! :-)

Happy to give a nudge :-)

Updated pic with mid-season colors for Pistache. Would love to see a spurt and some filling out of this one. Patience, I must have patience....
