1. How did you get your start into the hosta world? We moved into a house with hostas in 1972 it was all down hill from there...got serious in the 1990's 2. What features are you the most attracted to in a hosta? piecrust edges..I bet that's a surprise :lol: 3. Ever grow any from seed, if even just ...

As the "hybridizer" ( I use this word with caution here ) I feel Sahara Nights is sun tollerant in the north, I'm not sure how it does in the south.

Also correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Purple Haze give better color in the sun?

That is a beautiful hosta Rob! I really think you should have someone produce it for you...it would sell very well!

Hey.......Thanks for the info on 'The Razor's Edge' sporting. I haven't seen it sport and Walter's hasn't shared this bit of info with me
Jim, good luck with your sport, it would be great to see a white centered version of this plant.

Nice D.Q. Beth! I wish my War Paint would look as good as yours

Not a good plant to grow it likes to go all green most of the time.

Kent

I'm attracted to intense yellow hostas, piecrusting and really odd shaped leaves.

Kent

Maybe Fools Gold? or Brass Horn.

Diana, It's part of my English series of hostas. Clovelly is a village on the north Devon coast, England about twelve miles west of Bideford. It is a major tourist attraction, famous for its history and beauty, its extremely steep car-free cobbled main street, donkeys, and its location looking out o...

Ok it's kind of like this:

Most of the TC's of Clovelly I've seen look like Diana's pic. You do need to give this plant a few years to develope it's mature super piecrust edge.

Kent

Thanks for the info everyone!

very funny George

I still want to see pictures so get busy Kathie

Pia...if you go to the Hosta Library Forum and look under the Convention tab there are a bunch of pictures I took at the National this year.

Kent

OK did anybody go to First Look???

We need a report and pictures...lots of pictures.
I couldn't go this year due to scuba duties.

Kent

I'll post pics of my two when they bloom (different times) My NBC has geen leaves and my BIW growing in more sun has blue leaves.

I personally don't think they are the same plant but very very similar.

Kent

At first I thought Jim was going to take us back to the sixties...I was getting so excited

Oh well it still was a good read and now I plan to call the tallest mountain in the world Chomolungma from here forward

Thanks Jim,

Kent

Wonderful again!!!!

I also loved Moulin Rouge the movie, the music, editing and the over the top use of color was just awesome ...I think I watched eight or nine times.

Thanks Jim!



... and yes, Leading Lady would make a fine Can-Can dancer!

Fire away Sandy...Pics and a list would really help.
