Yup - there are some COOL hostas out there.
Stained Glass is next on my list to get. :)

Thanks for the open arms folks.....feels nice. Hostas can become very addictive and there's so many beautiful varieties out there that many aren't aware of, not to mention how carefree they are as well. I have started to hybridize hostas the past 6 yrs and that in itself is so fun, but talk about needing lots of patience. Grey that 2nd pic, what is that growing through the center of your hosta LOL? The last one is a cutie and I believe I know the name of that variety, but it escapes me right now. I do have a bunch of hosta/garden pics of mine here https://spaces.msn.com/hostas4hummer/ if you want to look at them when/if your bored. Hmmmm maybe we need an area to discuss shade gardening?

WOW --- I am in LOVE with your hosta garden!

I don't yet know what is growing in the middle of that one. It was a free for all at a garden club meeting, (the big plant exchange) and I wanted the hosta.

A shade forum might be a good idea. I'll talk to the powers that be and see if we all agree :)

Oh my gosh, hummingbird, I LOVE your hostas! They are so beautiful. I need something like that... some nice thick, lush greenery! :) I have a lot of flowers but not a lot of just nice green leafy plants and things. You've inspired me! :)
