    After waiting patiently all summer, here they are. Just plain white ones, but we like them, they came with the house.

    Beautiful Hostas, it's good to have white in the garden has a calming effect.

    Spot says hi Gaylyn, he's the most social of anyone around here. Loves to greet people.

    Hi, Spot! *scratch behind the ears* I like your Hosta, it's so glossy. The white-flowered ones are nice. Most of them have some kind of lavender or purple shades.

    Those are cool. Don't know that I've ever seen white ones. Only knew about the lavendar ones. White is pretty to have in the garden.

    Very pretty Peppersage. I have a white blooming Hosta and it's my absolute favorite of all my Hosta's! Are yours fragrant?

    Very nice-looking hostas indeed! They look so heal;thy and slug-free, the blooms are pretty too. It was like getting a birthday prezzie wasn't it?

    Very pretty. I wish I had a spot of shade to plant some here. I will have to get my hosta fix by looking at your lovely plants.

    Thank you all for your kind comments.

    Oh Eileen, that's how my mom and my sister got there white ones, Maybe i should go over and visit, they have lavender ones. And here i was thinking mine were plain.

    Sjoerd, slugs must not like them, because i stepped on a few slugs on the deck, right above.

    And they do smell nice. :)
