Over the weekend, I drove to Indianapolis, Indiana, to exhibit hosta leaves at the Indianapolis Hosta Society's hosta show on Saturday, June 8, at the Holliday Park Nature Center. I had planned on showing at our own Hostas of Kentuckiana's hosta show on Saturday, May 25, but an acute upper respiratory tract infection prevented me from participating in Louisville.
I took leaves from six of my hosta plants to the Indianapolis show and was fortunate to receive ribbons for all six plants exhibited. Here is a list of the plants shown and the ribbons awarded:
- H. 'Cameo' -- first place
- H. 'Curley Fries' -- first place
- H. 'Stiletto' -- first place
- H. 'Blue Ice' -- second place
- H. 'Green Mouse Ears' -- second place
- H. 'Pineapple Upsidedown Cake' -- second place
The show was well attended, and there was a large plant sale with several vendors. I enjoyed my weekend in the Hoosier State.
Exhibiting at the Indiana show completed all the requirements for my applying for certification as an American Hosta Society provisional hosta show judge.
