Counties such as Japan, Korea, China, America and Belgium! 

And a great story about Hosta 'Andy Murray' ! 

 Look at these hostas growing in the wild!

And what's in store for Hosta lovers in the future!

This might be hard to read but 

here's what is going on with Hostas in Science!

Hosta 'Gravity Rocks' is one to look out for!

 A daily photo as this one starts to grow is highly recommended! 

I'll take you up on that! This Hosta is on my wish list!

And also for me it's Hosta 'Candy Dish' !

This would go great with my afternoon tea collection!

46 members enjoyed your Hosta talk! 

Then it was time for lunch! Outside! Dry and about 14C! 

It's our tradition to serve soup, warmed over a portable gas burner!

 After lunch the annual general meeting took place.

Two new board members joined our team! Welcome Ruud en Jos!

Hosta Happy Hour rounded off the day!

Thanks to all that joined in and made this day a Success!

March! Spring!

Signs here of tulips, daffodils and other Spring bulbs!

Our hostas have had enough cold weather here in The Netherlands!

Won't be long now until we see those awaited hosta pips!

In the latest AHS e-newsletter I came across this...

“I've already got that one.

 In fact I've got all four varieties 

- the green one, the blue one, 

the yellow one and the variegated one.”

Happy Spring!
