So who else has registered hostas in 2007?

Post by Chris_W »

Hi everyone,

I was wondering who here has registered hostas in 2007? We registered 3 plants this year so far, and I might get a couple more in soon.

Green Nature Lady - corrugated, dark green seedling of Harvest Dandy with great near white flowers that stand out against the really dark leaves
Radiant Star - I've shared this one before, and we finally registered it. Plus it is being tissue cultured right now so we hope to have it available in 2009 or 2010
Heart's Delight - a solid green sport of Warwick Delight. I always frown on these types of sports being registered but after so many people asked for it we decided to name it

So what have you registered this year? :D

Congrats, Chris and Brian!! I have no doubt that several others on here have registered several this year. I'll be watching this post to see who did what. :wink: :D

Well done Chris & Brian!!! I remember looking at some of your newbies last summer and had thoughts then that a couple of those would be keepers!! We will have to check them out a little closer next summer!! :P :P I think that Green Nature Lady might be one we have to "obtain" ..... :o .. :D :D

Congrats Chris and Brian. I remember looking at your unique hostas last year too. I don't remember Heart's Delight though. Definitely remember Radiant Star and Green Nature Lady and a few others. Keep up the good work.

Maybe we could trade a few of our intros one day...... :-?

Registrations

Post by thehostagourmet »

I registered 'Lily Blue Eyes' (named for our granddaughter) early this year. I had previously posted pictures of it here.

It was a blue ribbon and section winner at First Look a few years ago. It is in tissue culture, and will be available commercially in 2-3 years.

Congrats, Chris and Brian. I loved Radiant Star when I saw it and I'm sure the two others are great also. All the best. :P

Congrats, all! Chris, I will put GNL on my must have list.
I have a few nice OP seedlings, but don't have any plans to register any as of now. Most of them are too much like things that are already out there. You never know, though! I have a couple I'm watching closely.

I registered 'Kenzie' just a couple of weeks ago. Like George's 'LBE', it is in TC and will be available in 2010.

Hi Ken,

What is 'Kenzie' from, or what can we expect from that one? Looks like it was just emerging in that picture and has some nice colors. Is it a big one or a small one?

Here is a picture of 'Radiant Star'. You can see a piece of its parent, 'Radiant Edger', in the lower right of the top picture so you can see the difference.

I have 3 more to register, if I can just find my papers from the summer when I took measurements, and if I can find my pictures of them. Might have to wait until next year on these others.

Chris - 'Kenzie' is an OP of 'Neat Splash'. You are correct as to the photo being an early picture. 'Kenzie' is a small plant that later in the year turns to a shiny dark green center w/ a whiter margin than in the picture. My avatar is a picture of the mature leaf.

Cool thread, Chris! And congrats to you and Brian on your new intros!

I would like to request that everyone post a pic (if they have them) of their new intros.

This will be fun!
