This is my little collection of mini Hostas. From the top, Rainforest Sunrise, Stilletto (Thank you Brian!), High Society, Blue Mouse Ears, Surprised by Joy, Fireworks, Marrakech, Pewterware, Little Treasure and Dinky Donna. I love them, and I can see them from my kitchen window, in this perfectly shady spot. It gets a little sun in the morning and then a little in the evening, but is in shade most of the time.

They look nice, some of mine are larger than what I would call miniature they seem to take a while to grow to their true size.
Has Mum acquired her collection yet.

Lovely! I don't think I would dare have so many - they always seem to fall prey to snails. I do love them, though...I've got one large H. Blue Moon in a pot which has miraculously survived intact, but the others I had were all eaten :-(

Thanks BJs...I'm not sure if Oliveoil has a collection yet...we'll have to ask her! ;)
Melchi..that's why I bought the shelving...which is set on gravel....two good deterrents right there!

Yes - that's a very good point, Karen. I may try a bit of sincere flattery!

They are not all miniatures...some are 'small' and may have to be planted in the ground next year...as you can see, a couple of them are already filling up their pots!
