These are some of my many varieties of Hostas. At the end of 2008, they numbered about 135 varieties of all sizes, shapes and colours and by 2012, that number was up to 180 varieties. NB, the URLs for Hosta Registry and MyHostas Database links are often too long to work properly in SmugMug. It may be necessary to copy and paste them in your browser.

Not really thrilled with the amount of space this one takes in the garden. I totally divided it up for my plant sale and intended to sell off all it, but in the end I decided to keep a division for myself. It's still in a pot while I decide what to do with it.

I found a spot for this one in a narrow garden west of my house from which I removed the Vinca.
