| In May I planted a new to my garden Stained Glass. It was already a lovely plant but I think that it is really stunning now. The colour is amazing in it's current spot - I moved it shortly after taking the first pic below.

| Here is my Fried Bananas in April. It is two plants in the pot. I'll post the most recent transformation in another post. |

| Here are the Great Expectations in June and August. Survived record high tempt, drought, more than 6 hrs of sun/day, and not much watering due to my out of town schedules. It is a tough plant by my standards. Color became lighter. and It has gotten bigger too. By the way, I do not post much here but learned a lot from this forum. I googled how to post pictures and found the post by Steve_mass. It is so easy! Thanks for the help!

| These are from last year, but I think Ice Prancer has one of the most dramatic seasonal transformation of all the hostas I have. May 23, 2011

Goes from a nice icy blue to a dark green. It almost looks like two completely different hostas. I wish it kept its blue longer, but is one of the first of my blues to go green. Karen |

| Absolutely lovely pictures! So very tempting too. The MOST dramatic transformation was my Stained Glass (#1). And then in the blink of an eye, it seemed, the new growth began. I thought I'd mixed up the two pots, #1 and #2, but I was delighted to see that #1 was flourishing and not dying. And it also bloomed for me late this summer. Quite a recovery. Let's see about a picture of that event. |

| Awesome photos everyone! Moccasinlanding - I can't believe how that Stained Glass turned around for you. I almost decided against getting it at all (short on space) but it really is a great plant. And the bonus is huge flowers. Leaf Lover - I have to have Ghost Spirit. I've never seen it at any of the garden centers here in the Toronto area. If anyone has any ideas of where I might get one I'd appreciate the advice...I'll have to edit out something. :) |
