I've kind of gone over the top in acquiring new hosta this spring. I lost a bunch last year, as we had a really hot, dry summer.

I bought one of my all time favorites - Paul's Glory. I'd had one years ago that I enjoyed immensely. It was right in front of the swing where my late spouse and I use to enjoy an afternoon toddy.

Like Paul's Glory, most are old time favorites that I've had before. I've acquired a Guacamole, a Dream Queen, Night before Christmas, Fantabulous, Elegans, Stained Glass, Devon Green and Royal Standard.

I'm hoping these won't be very picky.

Hornbakers is my favorite vendor! They send very large well grown hostas. I have a large order with them this year. Yours look in great shape. I request a later delivery date with them usually to bypass any chance of frost.

I will be drooling watching your goodies. I ordered nothing.

Bkay, I’m in a similar situation where I had a couple of bad years in the garden and am rebuilding some of my losses. I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your spouse and afternoon toddy partner. I hope your new Paul’s Glory will bring as much joy as your last one did. You have a list of good hostas coming.

Debra, you are the reason I checked out Hornbakers. I’ve been happy with my hosta purchases so far. I can’t remember if this is my second or third order from them.

Lindalana, you must have great restraint! 😊 The hosta alphabet always leaves me wanting so many of what I see there.

Thanks for the heads up on Hornbakers.

Debra and Sandyslopes, I visited Horbakers few years back with NIHS bus trip, it was a lot of fun.

Sandy, those look like nice plants!

Last year I seen someone mentioned hosta Kiwi Milky way that they got at Horbakers but it was not on their website when I looked. So I emailed them and they took care of me, found me what I wanted and I got couple of others too. Nice way of doing business.

Bkay, how are you dealing with potential of Paul's Glory being infected? I am hesitant to order anything that has high HVX rate.

I bought just one new hosta this year, a large Cathedral Windows from Plant Delights.
