Comments:Hi, Mark,

I just found your page at mtgilead.com's alumni page.

Nice set of hostas...my friends have quite a bed of them around their house, for a "rain garden" barrier to keep their basement drier.

<marquee behavior="alternate"><a href="http://www.myspace.com/sedonterry">My MySpace</a></marquee><p>There...with luck and a cooperative text entry box, this ought to move.

Looks like life's treated you well. My brother, John, works in finish carpentry somewhere in N. Carolina...he has quite a house, too.

Anyhow, if you want the code for any gizmos you see, including moving pictures or marquees, let me know. It's good to see you "rose above it all."

Comments:This hosta thing can grow on you for sure, I started out with a couple from a garden center about six years ago and now I have over fifty (about 30 varieties) after a couple of trips to Wade & Gatton. The one Van Wade gave me as gift for my first visit is still one of my favorites, a Van Wade Blue hosta. I'm just amazed at the diversity of these plants and the range of characteristics, God sure has made them an interesting foil in the landscape.

Help me. I'm horrendously hooked on hostas. Last year it was canna ( Erebus, Bengal Tiger [Pretoria],Australia, President..to name a few).

Now I'm in love with so many and I can't seem to shorten the list.. it keeps getting longer instead. To me, a hosta is a living sculpture ( as are many other plants). A person could spend $100,000 for a metal scupture in their front yard and I would feel my little hosta tops it hands down. I say this with a straight face...lol.

To all you hosta lovers out there - I'm with you. Can't seem to stop discovering new ones to savor...

Thank you all for the wonderful posts and pictures. Nice of you to share.

Comments:I think your website is one of the best. Lots of pictures of individual hostas make it handy for finding individual hostas. But these abound. What makes your site particularly interesting and beautiful are the pictures of peoples' gardens. I like looking at others' gardens as they serve as inspiration for myself to get ideas for my own garden. I live on a five acre property in the country with lots of big trees and shady areas for hostas and other shade lovers. I've been bitten by the hosta bug really bad this year (I've always liked hostas, but now I love them and am obsessed by them). My collection is growing steadily (I have about 40 varieties now - and growing). Whenever I go to a garden centre, I can't help but check out their hostas and leave with one or two.
Keep up the good work and put in more garden pictures. Thanks for the inspiration. Every gardener needs that.

What is a Collector's Choice Hosta?

A Collector's Choice Hosta is a plant that is considered a collectable Hosta, not a common variety. The plant must be hand grown. Each plant must be healthy, grown outdoors for more than a year and have a substantial, large, established root system.

A Collector's Choice Hosta is grown from a tissue culture plant which guarantees that it will be true to it's name.

A Collector's Choice Hosta is hand picked for it's notable features. A plant is selected after considering it's color, leaf shape and size, clump shape and size, and flower color, shape, fragrance and size. To be selected, a plant must be outstanding, recognizable, and original. The selection is made across the range of sizes so that there are Collector's Choice Hostas in every size catagory.

Collector's Choice Hostas will make your garden beautiful. These handsome plants will be noticed by everyone, especially people in the know about Hostas.

Little Flora is a tiny Nursery that grows and sells Collector's Choice Hostas. Little Flora is the exclusive grower of Collector's Choice Hostas. Because they are grown by hand, Collector's Choice Hostas are in limited supply.

Comments:I have turned into the biggest hosta fan! We moved into an old country farm house with one huge hosta around an old tree and I took starts from that and began to do my yard. They're fantastic. I then ordered hosta's from a local greenhouse and have them everywhere. I'll admit, I'm not that keen on the names and didn't know there were so many different types. I think I'm addicted. I'm always digging some up, moving around, my husband says I move them like I do our furniture.

I'm so happy to have found this website and would love any information you have to keep them pest free, I don't have alot of money so any little hints you could pass my way would be so appreciated.

People are amazed that most of my hosta's have come from this one plant. They make not having alot to spend on plants look like a yard that has spent a fortune on them, if that makes any sense.

Thanks again,

Susie

Thus far I have one small shade garden with approx. 25 hostas including about 8-12 varieties of hostas, & also several varieties of lamium, ferns,Sweet Woodruff, blue myrtle & bleeting hearts. I'm starting a new shade garden & was really impressed with your site & the number or pictures. Also, I think your site convinced me that I could use more varieties of hostas in this next garden without adding all of the other things that I have in my smaller shade garden. Maybe when I'm done I could send some pictures your way. I was also happy to see the list of suppliers. I had heard about the one in Dunkirk, N.Y., which is 30min. from here. I was thrilled to get the address & phone number! Thank you! Lisa

Comments:I read a newspaper article about your hostas. I collect them for my gardens and want to visit (from Urbana, OH). The directions to your gardens on this web site are nice, but the days and hours you are open are not listed. I wanted to come on a Sunday because I will be traveling through your area, but I don't know if you are open. I recommend adding this info to your web site.

I fell in love with Hosta's about three years ago, and have been buying them ever since. I found this site by just typing hosta.com, and I love the pictures of hosta's you have. Do you sell these, or are they only for people to come in to enjoy the pics?.

Comments:Wonderful web-site, I throughly enjoyed exporing all your excellent information. I have been enjoying hostas since moving to a new farm house with much shade. I started with the basic hostas and now enjoy over a hundred different varities. Just once I thought that I was satisfied I found your wonderful pictures and now most pick up a few more. Sure they will become my new favourites soon. Best wishes from Ontario, Canada!

I would like to send you pictures of my original garden markers I've been making to really dress up my hosta garden. They deserve it! Gotta do what you can while waiting for the season to start. Do you have an adress that I could send pictures to? Julie Sutphen ( way up here in Minnesota where it still may snow!)

Comments:Your site is so much fun just to brouse. I have moved from Huntsville, AL where I had a lovely hosta garden. Last summer I moved about a hundred hostas and ferns to Foley, AL. People down here say they will not thrive. I have them in a special bed under live oaks. So far some of the smaller ones are up and looking just as good as they did in Huntsville. Masquarade and Golden Tierra are beautiful. Sum and Substance is trying, but I don't know if it will be as large as in Huntsville. Thanks for the lovely pictures, Margaret Comstock

I have created an own homepage dedicated to the hosta, which contains a link to Houpt's Hosta Habit.
