While I am waiting and waiting for my flowers to start blooming here in the far north, I thought it might be an opportunity to appreciate the virtues of beautiful foliage, and the #1 source of that is hostas. I certainly cannot image a garden without them, and since so much of my yard is shade or part shade, that gives me lots of opportunity to use them. Herewith a few recent photos. I don't know the names of a lot of these, as I took them from an enormous hosta garden that my daughter has -- it came with her house, so we don't know what they are. Someday we need to rent a forklift to divide them....
Anyone been to Venero Gardens in Minnesota? Fabulous hosta gardens, and an excellent source for hosta.
