HOSTA Show case
Here's a start to the season. Accompanied by Wood sorrel, which I leave, it will soon die away. Edible for salads or soups.
Hosta nigrescens ( if I' m allowed to use that word). Architectural, very tall, upright leaf stems. Probably the parent of the Krossa group.
All my Hostas have come through the winter in good form. They were placed on a terrace, close to the house. Some of the pots have suffered.

"June"
"Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
I now have my original unnamed one, Autumn Frost, High Society, Dinner Jacket and Fragrant Blue.
No photos yet but I'll update once they're looking a bit fuller.
Looking forward to seeing others!

"June" again. Perhaps not too clear in the sunlight, but do you see the blue-grey leaf. Left middle. It showed more clearly in my Apr 19 pic, but at the time I thought it would develop differently. It has happened before, a reversion to what I call "Halcyon".
What I do is tie some baler twine around all the blue leaves, and when I divide in the autumn, do a clinical job on the "Halcyon".
A true "Halcyon" is probably the best medium size blue hosta.
