I forgot I also ordered White Feather Improved from Breck's.
This is what they say about it.
You can't get this "version 2.0" of the extremely popular White Feather Hosta anywhere else on the planet! We're proud to be the world's exclusive retailer of this shade-loving masterpiece from renowned hybridizer Arie Blom, who spent five years developing it. Improved White Feather Hosta is just that—a variety that is stronger, more vigorous and more substantial than its predecessor.
While the leaves of its little brother grow horizontally, this one's reach for the sky, and are thicker and sturdier. These qualities give Improved White Feather a more upright habit —this plant grows 20-22" tall—and make it more sun tolerant

I see @ViolaAnn has posted photos of Hosta 'Don Clysdale'... It is so pretty! I don't remember if I've seen those photos before. I like the golden color and the purple flower stalk!!
I never had much luck with the original so hope it is really better. Arie Blom has come up with a lot of nice Echinecea , hope his Hosta effort is good. Not sure about ordering from Breck's .
All this talk of White Feather now has me wondering where the heck I planted mine last spring? It was a nice sized one so should take a few years before it dies off in my gardens
When all is said and done, there’s more said than done.
I am on #2 as well. Will have to see if it comes back this Spring. I also ordered a Siberian Tiger. Not a pocket breaking price. Hope it looks somewhat like the pics they show!
Thank you to Sedumzz for the mention. I'm sure I shared some of the pictures of Hosta 'Don Clysdale' after I registered it, but I did post more pictures in the database. I thought now that it was officially listed with the Hosta Registry that it was time to add it to the database. Hosta 'Don Clysdale'
I saw this on the LOTG Facebook page a few days ago. It looks like family members are taking over the business.
Hello everyone! I am excited to announce that we will be having four open garden weekends this year! I wanted to let you all know that orders that were placed last fall will still be shipped starting in May.
As of right now our website will be down so there will probably be no more orders from the website this year. Please understand we are doing our best to learn everything there is to know and in doing that, we need to take things one step at a time. It is important to me that you all receive the high quality plants that you are used to with my dad.
That being said, we do plan on putting some plants for sale on our Facebook page and in the Hosta Buyers Guide page so you will still have chances to snag some hostas there this year.
Lastly I want to thank every last one of you from the bottom of my heart for reaching out and offering condolences. It has been an emotional time but I think seeing everyone in the gardens during our open garden days will help knowing my dad and Penny are probably smiling seeing his gardens are being enjoyed.
I also wanted to thank everyone who has been taking the time to teach me my dads magic ways and helping me learn everything hosta! Your support means the world! ❤️❤️
When all is said and done, there’s more said than done.
I am thinking that Hosta Buyers Guide page is a facebook thing? I guess I will have to wait till next season if I want to get something from them , but glade they are going to keep it going.
OK, Thanks. I've heard of them. Couldn't order from them because of the International border; so any Canadians or people from other countries who are here might not know the acronyms.
I had selected Moonshine, it was in the cart, added 2 Hellebores, at that point when I went to pay, the screen said not available. I was not a happy camper, I was on it the moment it opened and put it in the cart.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”
Planted Blue Angel today.
Really good size and thick 16" leaves.
Slugs don't like the quilted leaves they have tiny hairs on them that discourage slugs from snacking on them.
Bare root. Will take a few seasons until they reach full size .
I’m so busy... “I don’t know if I found a rope or lost a horse.”
