Due to the recent posts on hosta.... thought I would share some bad
pictures with you...
Here are two hosta... from the same plant, same size division. You would
think they should be the same now. Both of these pictures where taken in
July of this year... Not sure how long they have been there... thinking
this is the second season for them... but I could be wrong, might be the
third.
Here is the one in full sun. ( currently it is attacking that coreopsis
and sidewalk )

Here is the other one in the shady area of my yard.

Quite a difference in my opinion.
