seedling all growed up.
Five years in and some of my seedlings are really developing their mature characteristics and i must say i am happy with how things are going. The hosta below is my favorite at the moment and yes i realize some people find "plain old greenies" boring but i think this one can hold it's own among some of the flashier varigated types. Let me know what you think.

Re: seedling all growed up.
I think it's very nice. I kind of overdosed myself on the flashier, variegated types and I've been working on adding interesting plain green ones this year. One of my favorites in Manhattan, and your's reminds me of that with the interesting texture.

Re: seedling all growed up.
I've always felt you need the "plain green" ones to make the others stand out. When the "plain green" stands out, its a bonus.

Re: seedling all growed up.
I think I agree with you! Lovely shade of green and it has wonderful bumples! 

Re: seedling all growed up.
Very nice!! I'm a fan of the green ones. Especially those with distinctive characteristics.
Re: seedling all growed up.

I agree, it is looking very nice. The green ones are the biggest surprises sometimes.

Re: seedling all growed up.
The color is accurate no messing with photoshop or funky filters. I do Like this one and the seedlings from her have been pretty good too.

Re: seedling all growed up.
Looks like a green Love Pat (one of my favorites). Anybody can hybrodize a streaked hosta. It's harder to hybrodize a plain jane green hosta that stands out and it looks like you've done that. Would look good in any garden.
Re: seedling all growed up.
I really like your plant. The texture is soooooooooooooo cool and the color is good as well. Great plant. Ms Kitty

Re: seedling all growed up.
Wow, congrats on that one. I love it, great color and texture.
Re: seedling all growed up.
Very nice, great bright color
Love the green, blue and yellow with the special touch...
The bumples, the inpresses veins, the edges or the cupped...
My eyes need rest and I love to be surprised at the second glance
