I liked August Moon, too, and the enormous 'Sum and Substance'. Now I have a couple of struggling little plants of 'Gold Tiara'. Texas is not hosta-friendly!<BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-33592339577778329132008-05-07T20:36:00.000-04:002008-05-07T20:36:00.000-04:00You shouldn't dig out that Tulip, you should cut t...You shouldn't dig out that Tulip, you should cut the flower & bring it in. Then it won't look funny in the garden & you'll have a beautiful flower for the house. (One of those win/win situations.)<BR/>Yellow Hostas in front of the blue & yellow barn is brilliant. You should take credit even if you didn't consciously plan it.<BR/>Another flower color that glows at twilight is blue, although the white is visible longer.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-20649525136364979782008-05-07T20:35:00.000-04:002008-05-07T20:35:00.000-04:00White really does light up the corners doesn't it....White really does light up the corners doesn't it.

The white shines like moonlight in the dusky shadows. Your yellow hostas will look fantastic with the yellow window frames, how clever you were to think of it. They might be August Moon? You are so right that looking at the photos to decide what to use in a post, the things that need done jump out at you. That didn't happen before the blog!Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-23824366607809615282008-05-07T14:40:00.000-04:002008-05-07T14:40:00.000-04:00Hi Rose, I write down the names of my hostas and k...Hi Rose, I write down the names of my hostas and keep the tags and I still can't find the names when I need them. Oh well...<BR/><BR/>Hi Beckie. I hope the hostas thank me.<BR/><BR/>HI Jayne.<BR/><BR/>Hi Sherry, I can't wait to see more of your garden this year. I too use the spirea in bouquets.<BR/><BR/>Yep Karen. I get out there daily too.<BR/><BR/>Oh Teri, I know those deer can give people fits in the garden. I am thankful that they are discouraged from coming into our garden by the fence. They could easily leap over but they haven't been near here that I know of.<BR/><BR/>The Rugosa did well for about 4 years. I guess it is its life time here. I just don't know. Maybe it was too stressed with the drought last summer then the floods this spring.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-24734933724453672142008-05-07T13:39:00.000-04:002008-05-07T13:39:00.000-04:00I love the viburnham.....It has lovely blooms.I ha...I love the viburnham.....It has lovely blooms.<BR/>I have a spirea, mine has just finished flowering...they are good doers.<BR/>You seem to have had the same trouble as Beckie with Rosa rugosa...they do really well here.<BR/>Always something to do this time of year!!!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802468583972118464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-6759835259943886502008-05-07T10:58:00.000-04:002008-05-07T10:58:00.000-04:00I love walking through your garden with you especi...I love walking through your garden with you especially since I just cleaned out the winter leftovers and the hostas are just starting and the deer have already nipped off a few.Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029722057577018059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1376606540097525538.post-4452986072786653482008-05-07T10:16:00.000-04:002008-05-07T10:16:00.000-04:00Gorgeous viburnum and spirea!

The Viburnum bush in my garden is just now giving green snowballs and my Spirea is beginning to bloom. They are beautiful bushes.<BR/>You are so right, there is always something to dig out or move in the gardens. <BR/>I like to work one bed at a time but often get distracted.<BR/>I really have enjoyed the white flowers in my gardens.

Seeing your transplanted hostas reminds me that I need to transplant a couple of mine quickly before they get too big. And like you, I wish I'd remembered the names of all mine. There are so many varieties of hostas nowadays that there's no way to remember all their names without writing them down.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.com
