| Thanks to all SOGHS members who entered hosta leaves at the Olmsted
County Fair Hosta Leaf show. There were more hosta leaf exhibitors than we've seen in a number of years.
The most exciting exhibit in the Horticulture Building is the Hosta Leaf Show. The many visitors to the exhibit are amazed with the wide range of hosta leaf sizes AND they are amused by the unique hosta names. Thanks to Karen Nolte for organizing the hosta leaf and hosta container classes to encourage more exhibitors. And thanks to Karen for teaching the hosta container class and to Cindy Tomashek for teaching the hosta leaf class. The photos below show the three tiered-shelves where the hosta leafs are displayed, the container entries and the champion leaf entry.
