Happy #Thursday, y'all.
Another reason why I love #hostas so much is the 3 seasons of interest.

You get new leaves in the #spring that may sometimes morph from one colour to the other.

You get #flowers in the #summer.

You get amazing #autumn colour.

This is my own unregistered seedling, which I have named Kathleen after my mother.

Ruffled blue leaves in spring are followed by golden yellow leaves in October.

It's a seedling from Neptune but far easier to grow and nicer, in my opinion.

One of my favourite #hostas this season has been hosta Kempen Waving Shadow.

It takes about 3 years to show its true character, but it is definitely worth the wait.

Long, undulating, spear shaped leaves emerge in spring. The colour is a pleasing lime green/gold.

Stems are a frosted blueberry colour.

Leaves turn to an emerald green from late summer onwards.

Another rare cultivar from our collection.

Widely available in Europe. Here - not at all.

Got ours from Ireland.

Go figure!

Another good water ๐Ÿ’ฆ for the plant out the front and back ๐Ÿ˜Š I really need to get a grip of the weeds in the pots and on the lawn,but it was just so murderously hot today (around 31ยฐC) with no breeze I'll have to try and do it all in the cool of the evening's ๐ŸŒบ

One hosta, dug up, placed in wheelbarrow, moved, divided, and replanted yesterday. That's why it's #silentsunday today.

Missed the zombie fingers stage of hosta. Green and green and green.
