#hostachallenge2022 Just managed to squeeze this post in before the challenge finishes. 5 flower heads on this one 💚🤍💚🤍 #hosta #ajmay

Very nice Angela! 💘😍

That's nice 🪴

Flowers!!! What a delight 💚

That looks lovely and healthy 😍

Quite nice. 💚🤍💚

Wow flowers already

Thank you 😊 I have to admit to being somewhat surprised. Previously it’s only produced one flower and much later in the year, so this is a very welcome surprise @ShelleySnyder @hebelover @jacaranda @anges @novicegardenlover @lesliecole49

It heard you talking about the Hosta challenge, Angela, and wanted to take part! 😂😂👍💚

Very welcome! 💘😍

I only have a few hostas, unfortunately I don’t have any idea of the variety of this one….any ideas please? 🤔 #hosta #hostachallenge-2022 #hostachallenge2022 #hosta-undulata #hosta-undulata-albomarginata #ajmay

There are quite a few in the encyclopaedia that resemble yours, Angela, so it would be worth taking a look to see if you can spot one that’s identical. 🤞 It’s lovely one, even though it hasn’t got a name 💚

Thanks Barbara…shall have to channel my “Miss Marple” 🕵️♀️ @jacaranda

Wow. Looks great

Thanks Charlotte…I’ve peaked early. My others are diddy! 😆 @charlotte

Angela, I follow the Hosta Society on Facebook and I’ve just seen a photo of a Hosta that’s very similar to yours. It’s listed as Undulata Albomarginata. Worth checking out on Google? 🤔🤞😘

Looks fantastic 💚

Thanks Barbara, I’ve just checked it out and I think you’ve got it! Really appreciate your help, it’s always good to know the variety 😘 @jacaranda

Thanks Sue! 🪴 @lilybee

Gorgeous

Thanks Jason 🪴😀 @hebelover

Not a clue, sorry Angela 🤔

This ones got off to a good start this year #hosta #foliagefriday #foliage #spring

Everyone's hostas are way ahead of mine. I think I'm going to impose a ban on them until mine decide to get a wiggle on 😂😂😂

Lol ! 😆 I have another that isn’t doing nearly as well and it’s sited right next to this one Jane. I think they’re a bit like people…some like a lie in and a slow start, whilst others are up and out with the lark! You never know, the late starters may outshine the early birds 🤞 @pelly

Here's hoping 😂👍🤞

Looking great! 💚🤍💚

Thanks Kerry! 🪴 @kez001uk

Turn your back for one moment and a mystery guest appears! #hosta #foliagefriday #variagated #mystery-guest

There's always one 😂💚💛

It does look sweet, though! 💛

It grew up right through the centre of the hosta too…perfect position! @pelly @jacaranda

That looks pretty 💛💛💚💚

An interloper but a rather nice one, certainly didn’t look out of place. Made me smile 😊 @midnightgardener

Having seen an early indication of everyone’s marvellous hostas, fibbing is the only way to be in with a chance!!! 😆 @cee @DeborahBanks @hebelover @sieveheadsarah @debs69

Errr....🤔.....yes Ange, you wouldn’t believe the size of my pots!!! 😅😂 @anges

Love it 😂😂😂

Taken yesterday #hosta #hosta-flowers #pink #autumnflowering

💕💕💕

What a gorgeous photo 💞📷💞

Thank you Belinda 💖 @belindah

Thank you Jane...let’s hope that’s not the last of sun casting it’s shadow. It’s a bit misty here today. Autumn has certainly put in an appearance on cue @pelly

It's a beautiful day here but it sounds like it's the last warm one 😢

Cataloguing
This really has romped away this year! #hosta #ajjune
Looks fantastic in the black pot 🪴
Thanks so much Jason…I’m just wondered if I will need to repot it next year…any thoughts? 🤔 @hebelover
To be honest I'm a terrible judge, I constantly pot stuff up, convinced the pots are too small, then I see pictures of everyone else's stuff flourishing in way smaller ones!! Barbara would be the best to ask @jacaranda
Lol…I’m the same Jason! I’m a bit concerned with some of my plants there aren’t any bigger pots out there!!! 😅🤣 @hebelover
I would repot in the spring, Angela, as it looks as though it wants to grow bigger and bigger! I can never get the pot size right either, Jason, so you’re not alone! @hebelover 😂😂
Thank you so much Barbara…I shall do that. Happy to help it reach its enthusiastic full potential ! 🪴 @jacaranda
Could I ask please Barbara…should the new pot be wider and/or deeper, or both?
It's a beauty Angela 🪴🪴🪴
Probably a bit of both, Angela. It looks like a really good grower so it will benefit from the extra depth and width. 👍😘
Fabulous…thank you so much Barbara 😀👍🏼 x @jacaranda
You’re very welcome 😘😘
