I posted this hosta of mine on hostapix a few weeks ago and was asked to post it here

Wow! Now that's an interesting combo of leaf color! Very unique looking. Love the name too. Seems to fit the rough look of that one.

The center pattern in the leaves on this hosta are reminiscent of a particular herb many of us indulged in our youth, but I never inhaled.

You were supposed to inhale? That is way cool, Leafy. What's the parentage?

Hmmm the herb... stoned... a connection? I really like the look of that one, with a textured outer blue and smoother inner green, streaky looking. Very nice!

Jim, your hostas are beyond description, I love this one,but when will we be able to actually buy one? Any plans to put some into the market?

Stoneworks may be my favorite of all you have posted over the years. It is very unique. It has texture, nice leaf shape and an interesting color. It looks to probably be a tetraploid. I haven't seen anything like it on the market. Would pass the 10 foot rule.

Congratulations on a great winner! You sure keep us in eye candy... but I want to start adding them to my garden. WHEN WE WILL SEE IT IN MARKET???

Wouyld love to test it for you in East TN. Zone 6, hot humid summers, sometimes wet but this year very dry. Late freezes, early springs. Freeze and thaw all winter.Could be a good testing ground.

TOTALLLLLY, man....

BTW, what is this business with posting on other websites things you haven't posted here? You're not holding out on us are you, Leafy?

You're telling me it's not for sale?

Is this a seedling? All I know is it's too lovely for words. I want it.

When can I buy it?

What a beautiful hosta. So many of yours are. Can you tell us when we will be able to buy them, where, and are they going to be to expensive for us? Thanks, and keep the pictures coming. Deb

Mr. LM -- surely by this time you must have hosta TC'ers breaking down your greenhouse (dungeon) doors to get title to TC some of the beauties you've been showing us. If they are not clamoring for your hostas, there is something wrong with all of them. What lovliness! Thanks for the treat -- Phyllis

I agree with an earlier comment. While there have been "dozens" that I would be proud to display prominently in my gardens, this has to be one of my favorites!

Have any of you noticed that Mr. Leafmould never responds to our questions about when his hostas will be available for the rest of the drooling masses? Or is it just me...?
