#HOSTAS WITH PURPLE FLOWERS PLUS#
Displays the same beautiful form and 4’ plus size. The quality of this photo is less than what you expect from me.Abba Dabba Do – $11. The origin of this hosta is of course unknown There is only one known photo of this hosta. This hosta (Almost) is the best that he has (as far as we know). As we have written before in other Hosta of the Day columns, the American breeder Arthur Wrede has been busy for a while trying to breed hosta with the most amount of red on the leaves. There is, as far as I know, only one specimen, at home in Arthur WredeÂs collection. This hosta is only known to a small group of hosta experts. This Arthur Wrede introduction is especially remarkable due to its red petioles, with the red color running down the leaf. Hosta "Almost" is perhaps the most memorable & most spectacular hosta at the moment. Lucky for us, I'm a Dutch speaker/translator. (a bit more rich / camel toned) and dark brown trim like (but do the little crosses on the right face of the house in this too pls!) the brown gray of the curio still relates to the brick tones - it just is a bit more subdued, so this lessens the contrast on the house itself but beefs up the color depth to match the red without giving the red tile roof that hard dark brown edge to play off. the close up of the brick really helps - your render (what we call stucco) now matches the lightest part of the brick tones - I think it would help if your render was at least as dark as the camel toned brick - also if your trim that is now dark was not the deepest toned brick, but came back up a tone - for my part, i'd like the body of the render to more closely match the standard garage color so it all blends, but I think the garage may land somewhere on the "too flat" a color spectrum to stand up to the red and it may warrant a coat of the camel you pick so it all comes together Because your window grids are light, the dark brown trim bits jump a bit too much - try the reverse idea since the red is strong now - render like or even one tone deeper - you'll need to find something to match the more carmel tones in your brick but this gives you the idea. Here's an idea for you - tho I think the sweet "white" cottages with red roofs are attractive, the deeper brick blend you have wouldn't work well with a very light / white wall.
