RJ they both look very nice. I just planted Purple Flash on Mon. and Aquamarine was one of the ones with frost damage. Rose I really like the Ghost Spirit, does it perform well compared to other white centered ?
Always want to order Blue Ivory but when shopping see the new ones and always forget to get one.

What is everybody's best gold one that stays bright and gold throughout the season?

this has to be Curly Fries! i haven't seen any others with those skinny, wavy leaves, that colour, that size (from what i can tell from the photo), even in the seedlings posted on the American Hosta Society FB page.

your Lakeside Paisley Print is lovely. mine is so young but i'm hopeful it's going to be as pretty as the other examples i've been seeing!

I thought Curly fries also. Rose, I don't see a weed. Are these in heavy shade? I want to plant some in the woods near my potting station but many are maples and I have had to move some because of the tiny feeder roots from the trees. They really stunt hosta!

The small one in the front is Curly Fries. It's bigger than the other that you've identified as Curly Fries. I had a name for the pretty little one, but it's slipped my mind for now! I have to say that I'm not a big fan of Curly Fries. It's never performed well for me.
Thumb of 2020-05-22/Rose1656/dc31f1

I have moved most plants away from my maples. The roots are a real problem for the Hostas. My gardens vary from full morning sun to deeper shade.

Bob,
This is my second Ghost Spirit. So far it's doing well. If I remember right, the middle greens up just a bit on it so it's not a full white. I'll take pictures later in the season.

i just arranged for some maples to be cut down in my back yard because the sucker roots are absolutely terrible this year. i'll need to figure out some shade but i think the plants will just be relieved to have some space in the dirt and not get strangled.

Foxfire Palm Sunday is pretty! I had it, but it slowly died off. Who bought out the Foxfire Hostas? It wasn't Rob Canning, was it? For some reason I think he bought the Lakeside Hostas... May have to look for one again!

Some sun makes quite a difference with First Blush .
Rose does your War Paint look more like the one RJ has early in the season. I just got mine last week and it looks much more like yours.
