Hosta

Late evening sunshine after a rainy afternoon

Late #hostachallenge2022

That’s lovely David 😁

Wow🤗

@godfreye @vegandmore @novicegardenlover thank you for your kind comments👍

That's a beauty!

@lesliecole49 thank you Leslie 👍

Incredibly, barely a nibble on this Hosta all season.🐌

Fingers crossed...... will the Hosta get to flower without a single nibble?

Hosta in the morning sunshine

@davidward. Pretty hosta love the delicate colour of the flowers.

Really nice hosta @Davidward

@joycemb @njquantock thanks..... my most photographed plant 🤩

Big muma Hosta catching a bit of evening sun after spending most of the day in the shade

Hosta in the shade of the corner trees and shrubs still not been found by the slugs and snails! The bark wood chip, and being in a pot seems to have kept them at bay..... so far😬

Slugs and 🐌 not too abundant this year

Like me you must be having a really dry spell in recent weeks! @nj

In shade for most of the day but the Hosta is enjoying a bit of evening sunshine

Looks real healthy!

Beautiful 💚💛💚

Lovely condition 💚

@njquantock @lovemygarden65 @solly1961 thanks..... so far the 🐌 have not found it! The grass and shingle surrounding it helps keep em at bay!

@solly1961 @Davidward @lovemygarden65 last year the slugs were all over my hosta this year not a sign of them so far it’s all aphids!

You should have saved this for Foliage Friday. It looks very impressive 😊😊💚💚💛

Slug watch has begun!

Those dam slugs ! There's loads in my garden already 🙁

@london148 its been so dry the last 6 weeks here in Suffolk that fortunately not too many around yet!!!

Hosta about to burst into leaf..... slug watch activated!

Mine the same so I'd better start my slug watch too... thanks for reminding me!

Great shot👍

18th July 2017

Wow! How beautiful is that!

@carmen-sylva thanks Roxanna.....the best it’s been over the many years it’s been growing

Wow what a kovely display 😊😊💜💜

Baby Hosta! This was a small piece split from big mama Hosta about five years ago.... @linfoster I will split again Lin but its interesting to see how big it can get!

Wow! It'll get bigger, I saw some giants ones at the weekend💚💚💚

Hosta enjoying quick drop of evening sunlight after a day in the shade!

Absolutely beautiful example! Just lovely!

Stunning...

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom thanks Elaine

@dan5584 thanks Dan

@linfoster It is getting a bit of a beast in its bigger pot Lin!

@Denise16 the mama plant is about twenty to thirty years old and well over a metre wide now Denise

Still growing..... Its enjoying the larger pot it demanded! #hosta

Perfect !

Small baby plant likes its new home in the front garden...... conveniently covering a man hole!

Stunning! How do you keep it in winter? Indors??

@trynax The leaves die back in the autumn and I just tuck them out of view until they start shooting in the spring

Beautiful foliage! Thanks @Davidward

Lovely blooms this year..... normally a bit leggy 14.7.18

Gosh! That’s a very healthy looking Hosta David 💜💚

Great , no slugs that’s why I suspect 👍

Lush 👍

Hosta still growing!!!

Wow that's fantastic

Wow that's amazing and healthy looking, there I go again talking about me 😊😊@davidward

@carolgs thanks Carol..... still more to come!

@midnightgardener I’d say well fit...... the plant that is😋

It is indeed 😊😊@davidward

I'm not jealous at all... 😒

@Kali8 well keep one in shady place, keep watered and fed, and in 10 years or so you too can have one!😜

@Davidward .... 10 years!!?!?! 😭😭😭

Catching a little bit of evening sunshine after being in the shade all day

Nearly there..... I think I might have to repot this year!

Fantastic 💚💚💚

Fabulous 💚

@lovemygarden65 @nessas thank you....... had it so long I can’t remember how old it is, but probably around 15 - 20 years.

Wow 😮 and you’ve never split it 👍🏻

@nessas I haven’t ever split it Vanessa....... seems a shame to!

Hosta 10, 9, 8, 7...............

Wow!!!!!!

And again 😵

Woaaah! Looking forward to seeing this😀

Hostastic !
