Hello, and welcome to my personal blog. My name is John Spangler; I live in Versailles, Kentucky, where since June 2010 I have been growing miniature hostas in my garden, along with some of their larger siblings in deck containers. I am a member of The American Hosta Society and the Greater Cincinnati Daylily-Hosta Society and have been accredited by the AHS as a provisional hosta show judge.
In addition to observations on my own hosta garden and links to numerous hosta-related websites, this blog will include occasional posts on other interests of mine. I hope that you find something interesting and useful here and encourage you to grow hostas, the Friendship Plant -- particularly miniature hostas. Good things do come in small packages!

This post is a work in progress. These pictures were taken at Cantigny yesterday afternoon, Monday, June 16, 2014. I wanted to get some pictures up and will come back later to add more and some text.
In my kitchen hangs a piece of calligraphy done by a deceased monk friend, Father Eric Lies, O.S.B., that reads, "Behind every flower stands God." What a joy it is to see the beauties of nature! "Considerate lilia agri" (Matt 6:28).
(By clicking on a photo, you can see it enlarged and in greater detail.)
