No Pips? How About Your Favorite Memory Photo?
Still nothing happening here. I'm resorting to past years photos which deliver a small dose of the drug I need.
Please add a favorite picture of your garden at its best.
Still plenty of the white icy stuff around here too. Sigh.
One of my favourite pics of my (front) garden is of a brand new bed. I like it because of the promise it shows for the future. I will take a comparison shot around the end of June and hope to see a big difference.
My favourite of the back garden is one I've posted before. Sorry to be boring. I like this one because there are about 50 hostas in their 1st and 2nd year in this section but just look at ALL THAT ROOM for more!!
Harryshoe: this is a great thread...beauty abounds in each pic.
Your pic shows the perfect hosta shot and the best example of filtered light...I wish I had more of that.
Arcy: your gardens are lovely! Another perennial lover, yay! :-)
Steve: what a gorgeous looking spot! It looks very inviting and the plants and that great deck really showcase your backyard.
Hostanista: both shots transport me to hosta heaven and tranquility...that front bed is really going to be a show stopper when those hostas reach maturity - looks amazing even now! I really like your gardening style.:-)
Sunnywood: you have the best of both worlds! I envy you the growing space....so much hosta real estate...truly lovely.
Gorgeous memory photos...I'm still looking for mine, lol
Thanks for sharing! :-)
I have 9 pips showing on Carolina Blue and I have been setting a bucket over it for nights that are just at the freezing temperature . . It must be a tough one as this was where the snow got piled for a path to the back shed. . I got my new purchases now to see pips and this is keeping me going for now, I changed my computer picture to the one I am posting in hopes it looks like this in June like it was in 2013. This is going to be the 3rd year for this bed and hopefully the leaping year. Loving our spring finally able to get the leaves off and see the bare soil . Sorry for the ones that still are getting snow but soon we can all whine over the heat of summer
Beautiful pictures everyone. Faye, that so gorgeous. I do wonder if they all leap - who will strangle who?
I do a lot of complaining about being cold but never about the heat which I love. The picture below is where I'd be right now if I had a magic wand. Baking like a lizard on a rock and cooling off between naps is heaven to me.

Cool thread, Harry. Great pics from everyone. Not the best quality pic, but I'm waiting with great anticipation to see how this little patch will fill in. The back row is 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd', 'Niagara Falls' and then there's several others; 'Harpoon', a 'June' is in here, 'Remember Me', 'Lakeside Coal Miner', a yellow-margined NOID, and 'Rhino Hide'.
Myrle, in your pic, the hosta at bottom left corner, is that a 'June'??
Don B.
Plenty of pips poking out of pots here in SW British Columbia - some of them beginning to stretch out their arms following the winter slumber, though none of them ready yet to remove the sleep from their eyes!
The picture below reminds me of that tranquil 20 minute moment at the start of a day, savouring breakfast on the back deck, watching out for the hummingbirds hovering, diving and zipping between the fuchsia baskets.

I have two questions for hostanista. Your back garden is beautiful and I wondered what ground cover is seen in the photo and in the other photo you posted how do you get that nice crisp edging around your flower bed?
No matter what I try it just doesn't look that neat.
No pips for me so far. Good thread Harry. You made me dream of those hosta days.
My husband put in two new bedroom windows this September. (We are changing our sliders to casement windows.) So I thought why not remove the screen and open the window to take a picture from our second floor! So that's what I did. My husband built the patio the previous year, and this year I put pot after pot around the new patio. The tree trunk you see is one of the two mature maples in our backyard. The blue line is not for hanging clothes, but for hanging our bird feeder from. We love seeing the birds! This picture was taken in the middle of September. The hostas held up quite well.
I am planning to take a picture from the window this season, but with my "better" camera. That's on the to do list.
Pic taken today. Stiletto. I had to water today, things were getting dry in the 84f heat. Things were growing so fast I could almost hear them. Abba Dabba Do had no pip this morning when I looked and a 3/8" one by the evening. Get ready, it's coming fast. There are only a few holdouts and two that I'm worried about. Stained Glass my have fallen to voles and Blueberry Muffin to crown rot. I have a few more pics, but that promise I made to get the photography under control this winter didn't happen.
Montana Aureomarginata. Bonus from Hallson's last year and underwent an inelegant transfer to its new bed on a mild day in the middle of the winter. Thanks, Chris, it'll be happy in this spot and spectacular next year.

This is a lovely thread.
I almost died laughing as I looked at McTavish photo, wondering how in the world did she get those chairs to hang on the wall, what an effect! And then I realized.....duhhhhh. hehehe
Well, I cannot believe Faye is waiting for THIRD YEAR PLANTS. I mean, that is where I am too.
Of course, I have eyes, pips, and real unfurled leaves, and it is not exactly in prime garden shape like all the calendar worthy photos above. But it is up and going, even the slow ones are poking noses somewhat. And, my nun's orchids have flower scapes up, sitting right out of doors unprotected.
Cannot wait for you guys to be happy campers too.
Not so pretty, but it will be filling in quickly.
Don, I think Prairie Sky just went on my want list. Lots of beautiful gardens and more that will be gorgeous in a few years. It's still early for pips here - they should arrive in late April or early May.
Spring is so late here; the nurseries all say their plants are 3-4 weeks behind where they should be. Don't knock the snow, be glad you had some ground cover. It all went north or south of us this year, and the ground is bone dry. There have been lots of dangerous grass fires this spring. Today is our big chance at rain, but the air is so dry most of it is supposed to disappear on the way to the ground.
Wonderful memories, all.
In answer to SerenityCove's 2 questions: the ground cover in the back yard is wild, I didn't plant it. It's called Stinky Bob - a type of geranium - and it can be invasive in some areas. However, in my little patch, it's easily pulled up where I don't want it (very shallow roots) and I really don't mind the smell at all. It's not bad. Plus it blooms tiny pink flowers that are quite cute. Link with more info below.
Secondly, as far as edging the bed(s) that abut to the lawn in the front yard , I don't do anything fancy - just use a spade and chop down a good 6", then fill the bed with pine straw (free since I have a bunch of pine trees at the back of the property). I keep an eye out for stragglers and pulled them out when I see them encroach into the bed. I spade the bed twice a year, once at the beginning of the season and again mid-summer. Seems to work.
To Josephine, thanks, I didn't know I actually had a gardening style! P.S. I too am "an avid gardener, a hosta gatherer and am recently retired so I can garden to my heart's content." We just might be sisters!
To almosthooked: If you hear me, even once, whine about the inevitable heat of summer, you can come over and dig up every one of my hostas and slap me upside the head.
One more shot of the back "Hosta Walk" from a different angle. I need more hostas.
Here is a link that might be useful: http://rainyside.com/features/pest_watch/Pest_StinkyBob.html
James, you have a great looking hosta spot. So very well tended.
Hostanista, I love your grounds, and yes you do need more hosta. Somehow I think that will be remedied, then you'll have a place beneath the pines which resembles Hillbilly's place.
Thanks everyone. Those lush garden shots are perfect. With the exception of emerging bulbs, there's just nothing green to look at.
Got a new computer the other day, was looking through pics I wanted to save to the new PC. Found these from 2006, before I knew what a hosta was. Seems I enjoyed gardening way back then, even without hostas. Ignorance is bliss. : )

First of all, Phil, your largest Sagae, and is that not the one by the green ginger jar? You mean you have MORE THAN ONE? And where have you been keeping that beauty before now? I'd have shown both every time Sagae's name came up.
Remember, in many things, LESS IS MORE may be true....
And Don, everybody needs a little morning glory. I believe in interplanting things like clematis and ipomoea/morning glory/whatever and some forms of fragrant jasmine. It seems to extend the bloom period. My comment on your pictures is one you probably agree with too--those lovely bloomers are nice, but they don't have the SOUL SATISFACTION you probably get since growing HOSTA.
Am I prejudiced or what!
Yes, growing on that fence with all your gorgeous Guacamole planted up the incline. And morning glory lending that touch of blue.
Hey, check out the passion vine. At least try ONE. The passiflora edula makes edible fruits, and the blooms are blue purple with a touch of gold in the middle. Not hardy in your zone, but really a quick grower. Or, scarlet runner beans. You can eat those with your hosta salad. :)
Mountainy, we were posting same time, half way around the world.....
VERY well printed nametags those. You are doing it in a professional manner. Wish mine looked so good.
Love the new pictures. My E. Wu is not showing yet, imagine that. She is one of a very few planted in the garden soil in a raised bed layered below by a thick layer of pine bark to aid drainage for our wet winters. The slugs are here as well, with signs of their silvery trails crisscrossing the bricks near the blue hosta shade site.
Don, was it this thread or another, you surmised correctly that I am feeling better, but still taking the antibiotic until the last pill is gone. It was the flu and yes I had the shot, but they guessed wrong this year. I'm very tired, which makes me stop frequently and rest, but the hosta need me. How well I care for them now determines how they manage during our long hot growing period.
Ya lol and I should be asleep in this time zone tis after 3.30am here!
Thanks Re the tags was envious of some of the ones I've seen on here so got em from Germany of all places, been having my thrill with the labelmaker lol.
The Empress was bought last week and was over wintering in a polytunnel so that may be the reason she is up early (donno when she should be up lol!), she has incredable roots that were 6 inches out the bottom of a 10 inch pot.
I am going to have to do something similar for drainage for our wet winters too, as for slugs I might try an electric fence for the big ones lol.
Thanks for the compliments on 'Prairie Sky' guys. I absolutely love this one. I got lucky, found this one in 2012 for sale locally with 15-20 eyes. It jumped from about 15-20 eyes to 70+ eyes last spring. I incorrectly stated on the forum that it was 'Blue Hawaii' last year, even after better hosta minds than I stated it probably was NOT BH, until BH came up in another spot (Oops, blush). I sited it in bright shade only, as an effort to prolong it's blue color over the summer. I think I did that part correctly. : )
Myrle, your 'June' is gigantic! Love it.
Don B.
Mocc.my other Sagae in deep in the woods,and is much older than the largest one. The pic you see is the one near the jar,but it was planted in 2006 as a very small one-eyed plant. Location must be the answer,because it grew faster,and bigger that my first one planted in 2003. One reason may be,it is growing amongst wild Vinca minor,which is very invasive. I have moved most of my plants out of there,because of that fact. Only very vigorous hostas will grow there. I have another of my Sum and Subs in there,and it is strong,and grows humongous leaves! Also,one of my Zounds still resides there. Is that too much info? Phil
Wonderful post, so much fun to see everyone's favorite pic. Can't say mine is a favorite, a only have so many pics to choose from on my computer. Theme of my photo should be "garden of the past", as the garden looks completely different today, with different plants and shrubs.
My lovely Sambucus Gold elderberry got sick and bit the dust and the 2 Thunderbolts fizzled out over 4 seasons and disappeared. The pic shows them the first year after planting and that was their best. I really liked the hosta and was disappointed in it. Today, I do have Sweet Woodruff ground cover all over that area, which I love.
Sorry if pic is grainy...it's from the days when posted pics had to be low in pixels in order to load quickly.
Old Dirt, quite a charming scene you shared with us. It reminds me of a place I love from my childhood--albeit with no hosta around!
And Phil, not too much information. None of this LESS IS MORE business. Always MORE IS NOT QUITE ENOUGH.
Appreciate the info about the vinca minor and which hosta you find can hold up to its invasive nature.
Peony 'Do Tell', came back from a piece of root left in the ground after I gave the mother plant. Don, those ferns get absolutely no direct sun, but are in bright light, against a north wall. It stays moist there, but I have more Japanese planted in dry shade under a blue spruce, totally ignored and equally as large in deep shade. The autumn ferns did not do well in dry soil deep shade for me.
There is a color difference on the Sagae I have, seen in this picture taken last Sept 4, 2013, with Liberty also in the frame (and so is Paradise Sunshine the big green). This is after a hot and wet summer where it had good morning sun. I think no hosta can take our sun except for the morning hours....unless it is an hour before sunset.
I don't even have emerging bulbs here, yet. I cannot wait to go outside with my clipboard and start counting pips, like the geek that I am! The photo that I have chosen is of the new rock wall garden that I completed last summer, it is still about two feet under right now and I hope the mini hostas survived.
Sorry I must digress for a moment...Hostanista, where are you located in Ontario and how large is your lot? It looks like Hosta heaven to me. Regarding Stinky Bob, I had some of that start to grow quite randomly at my previous house, and I never knew what it was called. Thanks for clearing that up; I found that it was very easy to control as well as it is shallow rooted.
In summary, I can attest that I have seen many places which would be just perfect for an evening stroll with an adult beverage in my hand. Great job gang!
The entryway with two Halcyon which had to be moved when they finally covered the walk.
Gorgeous specimens of Halcyon, Harry! That scene makes a beautiful picture...compliments re the play on colours - very lovely!
Nope, no outside pips emerging...lots of rain, snow melting rapidly and I can see some potted hosta exposed now YIPEE...but they have chunks of ice covering them.
Here's something you don't see often....this is a "pot" sculpted out of ice that sat on my deck all winter. I placed an empty pot inside another and it got buried under our first snowfall....never to resurface till last week. I'll never forget this sight!
Gee, Jo, that bloom on Sweet Bo Peep is as big as the plant! I have one, and I don't recall it actually blooming either. But my plant was a "half-pint" bought the first year I was shopping for hosta. So I'll be looking for a bloom this year too.
That's Squash Casserole, Sweet Bo Peep, Invincible, and Fragrant Bouquet taken in March this year.

even within Israel there are many who can. Poor show on Bibi's part.
The US is not interested in war with Iran. We have our bellies full with
war and can't wait until we withdraw fully from Afghanistan. Of course
there are those who like war since it means profits but the current
president is not interested. I doubt Iran will sincerely end its nuclear
bomb effort. However we can convince them it buys them nothing of value.
We need to build a ballistic missile defense system in the region or at
least go through the motions so that Iran comes to understand that a
nuclear weapon that it eventually has can't be delivered by missile,
hence no one is impressed that they have such a weapon.. In effect they
will be all dressed up with no place to go. As a pro Israel American
Jew I am not impressed with the Israeli position. If our view of what
needs to be done and what we will do is not satisfactory to Israel why
don't they attack Iran with their nuclear missiles instead of telling us
what to do and being upset with our unwillingness to threaten war with
Iran. Netanyahu is not superior to Obama with a better view of optimum strategy.
Why do he not see, that the deal give Iran several billions in return
for nothing. The centrifuges will continue running day & night and
next year the Arak reactor will produce Plutonium. In one to two years
time the Iran will posses nuclear weapons.

Unlike the pricey Promoted Trends offering, the partner program requires ad clients to spend a minimum of just $15,000 over three months.
Twitter is seeking committed partners. The firm's advertising media kit includes details on a Beta Partnership Program, and, unlike its pricey Promoted Trends offering, the seemingly new program requires ad clients to spend a minimum of just $15,000 over three months.
ClickZ obtained a recent Twitter media kit, which also includes information on Promoted Accounts and Promoted Tweets.
The Beta Partnership Program, according to the presentation, involves a blended insertion order for both Promoted Accounts and Promoted Tweets. Though Twitter recommends that advertisers spend at least $15,000 over a three-month period, the company indicates it is open to negotiation on minimum spend, noting, "Other number in mind? Email me." Beta partners are expected to launch their initial campaigns "within 10 days of [their] kick-off date."
The document also offers insight into minimum bid prices for Promo Accounts and Tweets. Promoted Accounts, which Twitter suggests help "Build a critical mass of loyal followers," are sold in a Cost Per Follow auction with a minimum bid of $0.50. The units can be targeted based on interest, according to keywords and followers. Geo-targeting at the country level is also available.
Promoted Tweets start off at a lower minimum bid - just $0.10. The Cost Per Engagement ads help "Get your message out beyond your core followership," according to Twitter, and are targeted based on keywords, as well as geo-targeted by country and DMA in the U.S. In this case, engagement refers to clicks, favorites, retweets and "@Replies."
As for campaign measurement, Twitter offers several dashboards associated with its ad products. Tweets Dashboard for instance shows the number of tweet impressions, clicks, retweets, replies and accumulated cost of a campaign. The Accounts Dashboard displays impressions, clicks, and follows; the Trends Dashboard, meanwhile, shows trend impressions, mentions, follows, tweet impressions, and the calculated engagement rate.
The Twitter media kit viewed by ClickZ does not include any detailed information on Promoted Trend pricing. Reportedly, the ads cost as much as $120,000 per day.
