Randy moved one of my wheel barrows from the backyard to the front last night to hold some plants I bought a couple of days ago. I know they will outgrow this home next year probably but then I will put them in pots in the shade area I am working on.

Hosta 'Halcyon' ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden )
I bought these a couple of weeks ago and have just been forgetting to show them off. They don't go in the wheel barrow.

Nice additions, Toni.  I'm looking forward to seeing them in their permanent homes.

What a nice bunch of newbies. You have an exotic taste in plants, I say that! It's always so nice to see what you come across.
I'm like Droopy and am anxious to see "the Wheelbarrow Gang" in their final place.
Nice going, Toni.

I like the variety of textures and foliage you have there. Can't wait to see how it all comes together.
