Hostas from Jim

Here are some wonderful hosts from Jim Schellinger.  A shady corner of the lawn is going to be spectacular!  Thanks, Jim.

Here they are

Hosta 'Queen Josphine'

Hosta 'Don Stevens'

Hosta Nigrescens 'Kuro Giboshi'

Hosta 'Praying Hands'

Hosta 'Striptease'

When I visited Jim and Betty, I remarked on a seedling with lighter green, puckered and cupped leaves.  It's not registered, but it is named in my garden!

Jim also shared a striped leaf lily of the valley and a Solomon's Seal with variegated foliage (not show)

Hostas by Hyde

Some members of the Greater Rochester Iris Society (GRIS) met at the home of Wes and Jackie Hyde in Chili, NY.  The meeting was very productive and the food was great.  The real treat for me was to see Wes's hostas.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but I was really impressed by what this dedicated gardener has done!
