Hosta

Hi all, Hosta Marmalade just limbering up for the #hostachallenge 2021! Look at those healthy leaves 😄 💚💚💚 Have a great day everyone #foliagefriday #hosta

Hi Ange 👋 mine are still just mini rockets poking out of the ground

I've got a few like that too 🚀🚀🚀 @jpea 😄

Hi Ange 👋

Morning Ange ... thats way ahead of mine ..fabulous 💚💚

Beautiful 😍😍

Morning Jane 😃💚 @pelly

Morning Julie, thanks very much 😃💚 @juliesgarden

Hi Sherri, thanks very much 😃💚 @sherrisgarden

Blimey, mine are barely poking through the ground.

I've no idea why mine are like this Joan - I leave them to it! 😄 @joannie.a

Just as a matter of interest, Ange, whereabouts are you? 🤔😘

Hosta Marmalade ready for the #hostachallenge 2021! 😃 #foliagefriday #hosta

I only kept one Hosta, I gave up because of all the slugs and snails up here, how do you manage with them?

That's a shame. To be honest I don't know! 😄 I know there's 🦔🦔 about and this year it's been so dry I don't think there's as many 🐌 etc about. I don't use slug pellets anymore because the pigeons were eating them and doing blue 💩 plus we've got the dog now. Think I'm just lucky 🍀 @hebelover

Don't fancy the 💙💩!! 🤣

Me neither! 😆 @hebelover

Fabulous 💚 Mine are nowhere near as advanced as yours!

This one always does well - I should have split it really. It's the only one I know the name of unfortunately. I might be calling on you to help ID my others when they get more established 😃💚 @jacaranda

I’ll be happy to help if I can but don’t bank on me getting them right 🤣🤣

Thanks, you've got more idea than me! @jacaranda

Wonderful coloring on this!! Really amazing!

@jmlincoln Thanks Jackie, it's great when it gets going 😃💚

A host of Hostas ready for the #hostachallenge 🏅🏅🏅💚💚💚 😄😆😂 #hosta #foliagefriday #collage

Impressive, mine are barely out of the soil 💚💚💚

Wow, mine are still in the same place as Janes!!

I've got some that are just showing through too @pelly @hebelover 🌱🌱

Looking lush and lovely, Ange! We’re all set for a great challenge this year 🤣🤣😘

Oh yes! The Great Hosta Challenge of 2021! 😆💚 @jacaranda

Happy #foliagefriday everyone 💛💚💛 This hosta is on its way out now - must split it as it's my favourite #hostamarmalade #beautyindecay 🙂 13.11.20

Hi Ange 👋 I've removed all mine

Good morning Ange🤗

Hi JP, nice one! 😃 @jpea

Afternoon Enid, I'm just having a brew after being in the garden all day 😃 @godfreye

Hi everyone, this Hosta is a bit nibbled in places but not looking too bad. Think I'll divide it this time round as it's one of my favourites 💚💚💚 #hosta

Morning Ange 💚

Morning! That’s looking great! Ours are really turning now

Morning Ange. Looking good ...mine have their autumn coat on now. Enjoy your day 👋🙂

Good morning Jason 🙋‍♀️😃 @hebelover

Fab 💚💚

Thanks Julie 🙂🌿 @juliesgarden

Have you been out polishing??

I varnished it before I took the photo 😂 @sharonhayden

Glad to see you’re on top of the housework 😉😜🤣

A real beauty!

😂 what's housework?! 😂 @sharonhayden

Morning Angela, thank you 😃💚🌿 @italydiva

Hi, have a terrific Tuesday everyone 🙂 I came across this white flower on a hosta yesterday makes a change to the purple ones 💚 #hosta #hostaflower 😃

Morning Ange. Very nice change indeed. Enjoy your day 👋🙂

Morning Pauline, thank you very much 🙂💚 @flof1952

Oh I like it 😊

Thanks Jane, I do too although I think I prefer the purple one I have 🙂 @pelly

Mor Ang again 🤍🤍

Morning Julie 😃💚 @juliesgarden

Good morning Ange don’t see a lot that colour it’s lovely🤗

Go h-álainn, a chara. 🇮🇪❤️

Morning Enid, I think it's the only white one I have. Thank you 😃💚 @godfreye

Morning Pat, thank you (I had to look up what your comment meant 😃) @patburke58

@anges the retired teacher is still hiding within! Bit of homework never hurt anyone.

Hi everyone, the #hosta are flowering away now 💜💜💜 have a terrific Tuesday 😃✌

What a gorgeous flower

Morning Ange, it's very pretty. Mine seem to be taking an absolute age to open 🙋💜

@lanehead Thanks Shane, they're very pretty if you take the time to notice them aren't they? 💜🙂

Hi Jane, thanks - they'll get there 👌😃 @pelly

Beautiful flowers and so underrated 💜

Hi Ange 👋👋, you too

Morning Kerry, thanks & yes you're right 💜 I think it's because they hang their heads a little and you don't notice them unless you go right up to them 💜 @kez001uk

@anges they are a little shy 😜

That’s what I love about close up photography, it opens your eyes to the beauty of even the tiniest little flowers which otherwise may have gone unnoticed and unappreciated 😍

Beautiful shot Ange 😊💜💜

This looks amazing, from a hosta?! I have several buds and now I'm going to be pacing around it like crazy haha What a pleasant surprise! Thanks for sharing the #closeup Just as others say, this is very eye opening!

I've got quite a few #hosta in different parts of the garden. I've no idea what any of them are called but who cares?! 😄 This is my favourite one by far - I should have divided it last year but I didn't get round to it... maybe this year 😀💚 #foliagefriday (it could be Orange Marmalade)

Looks very healthy 🤗 how do you keep the slugs and snails off them? @anges

Fabulous colours Ang 💚💚

Looks like a painting 😊👍

Morning Debs, we've got 🦔🦔 in the garden - they help me out with the 🐌🐌😄 @debs69

Hi Julie, thanks, I must remember to divide it next time so I can see it in other areas of the garden 💚 @juliesgarden

@Luna_Lina It does! 😀 thank you Karolina 🙏💚

Morning Ange, that's a fabulous hosta 💚

It gorgeous, I got my first one this year and I think I may need more now 🙄😂💚

Morning Sue 🙂 thanks I love it 😆💚 @lilybee

Thanks Jane, they're great plants and grow so big that they fill empty spaces (if you have any 🤪) in no time! 👌😍 @pelly

Beautiful 💚💛💚

@midgetwizard Thanks Brittany ☺💚

Thanks Keely ☺💚 @Keely

Morning Julie ☺ they are brill this year and hardly any slug damage which is a bonus 💚 @juliesgarden

@gjones Thanks Katie ☺💚

Morning Wayne, thanks you too. I've amassed quite a few hostas - they're easy to split etc so you get free plants which is always a good thing 💚 😁 @wtwitchell6969

Flowers coming on the Hosta 💜💚💜 15.5.19

My favourite #hosta at the moment - love the contrast with the hazel behind it 💚❤💚 Think I will split this Hosta for next year 💚

#hostas in the sun 💚
