I'm just curious...... I'm a hostaholic and hybridizer. 


Long days and pleasant nights,

    What is it?

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Isn't that the plant that looks like a big tobacco leaf?

    Easy to maintain, hard to kill. Right up my alley.

    Looks great. These are shade loving plants correct?

    Shade tolerant. The will do fine in morning or afternoon sun. They make for easy gardening:)

    Does anyone actually plant their own Hosta? In every place I've lived in (including my house), the Hosta was always there, planted by a former owner. It's just about the most reliable perennial out there. Doesn't need sun, doesn't need watering, doesn't need feeding, it survives the toughest weather and fills a space like there's no tomorrow.

    Actually, yes. I hybridize so I plant new seedlings every year:)

    We have several different Hostas around the house and up the hill around my studio. . Around here it seems like the voles and the deer like to eat Hostas.  I like watching the ground squirrels climb the wilted flower stalks for the seeds.
