Dog and Hosta lover.
BMD/GR/BC/Japanese mixed breeds.
Most of my hostas are potted so that we can take them to our new 🏡 where I’ll have my own Hosta garden (hopefully by summer of 2026).
At least this baby is doing well.
Lost the tag so I don’t know what it is but it’s either Summer Breeze, Paisley Border, or First Blush (not likely). Can’t wait to find out😍

I’m so bummed.. heartbroken. Just had the experts on FB Hosta group confirm HVX on my 5 yo Aureomarginata. This and June were my first two hostas ever.
Really, really hoping the others aren’t affected😣

One of my three ‘June’ hostas.
All came from the same nursery, planted in 2019. What a beauty!!😍✨

Finally found the time to get rid of the weeds👍✨

Little one in the terracotta pot is also new for 2024. Bought it last year, thought it had died but it sprouted!! (they are hostas after all..)
I just don’t know what it is. Waiting for it to grow so I can correctly identify it😊

Two new hostas for 2024- “Flemish Sky” and “El Nino”. And some purple dead nettles.

Excited to add these to my other blue hostas, “Halcyon” “June” and “Canadian Blue”!

Back row, left to right: “Canadian Blue”, “Aureomarginata”, “Albomarginata”.

Front row, left to right: “Blue Circle”, “Fire and Ice”(recovering), “First Frost”(?), “Munchkin Fire”, “Diana Remembered”.

Absolutely love this time of year✨😍

Hostas “Albomarginata” and “Aureomarginata” in the back,
I cannot for the life of me remember what the other one is. Maybe “First Frost”? I did purchase one last year, along with several others, but I don’t remember planting it😂 Going to wait and see if the margins turn white in summer🌱

Left to right:
Hosta “August Moon” (planted 2021), “Francee” (2020), “Blue Ivory” (2019).

Pardon the weeds- a litter of Border Collie puppies is preventing me from doing any gardening this season😂

Hosta “Fragrant Bouquet” (planted 2019) with Spiraea Thunbergii in the background. I really need to dig her up and move her somewhere more spacious, or divide her. Hope to get around to it by the end of the year.

Another one of my favorites, Hosta “Inniswood,” planted 2021.
Vigorous grower and a real beauty💖

One of my favorites.
Hosta “June,” planted 2019.

Hosta “So Sweet”
Planted 2022.
Didn’t do so well the first year but looking good now✨
