I grow many lovely hosta but a few are favorites. Here they are in pictures. What are yours. Pictures would be nice if you have them.
Liberty

Montana auremarginata

Great Expectations

American Halo

Paul's Glory

I really like those with Blue in them!!

Tokudama Flavocircinalis


Touch of Class


Cat and Mouse

Brother Stefan

Paul's Glory

Dragon's Eye

Tom Schmid

Loyalist

Paul - you would HAVE to have a lovely 'Paul's Glory' wouldn't you? I was gonna suggest you add them to the database, but I'm sure you already have done so.

Let's see. Very tough question on 5 favourites.

I agree with 'Liberty'.


'Little Sunspot'


'Lakeside Mom'


'Marilyn Monroe'


'Fire Island'


Tomorrow I might have 5 other favourites!

Ann..Wonderful choices. I doubt anyone would complain at seeing 5 more of you favorites. I may look through my pictures tomorrow and choose 5 more.

Yes, please!!

Five more favorites.....ooops...actually seven
Dick Ward

Pandora's Box

Blue Ivory

Orange Marmalade

June

Christmas Pageant

Fragrant Boquet

If I'm allowed 5 more, I'll check out a different folder of pics. I have them separated into 4 or 5 folders, alphabetically as they would be too large otherwise.

Let's see -

'Allegan Fog' is one I like a lot. Will have to check into those leaves that are showing such wide green margins if they are still there next year, though. I hope it's just one eye like that.


'Alligator Shoes' - slightly smaller in 2011 than before as I moved it and took a few divisions from it at the end of 2010.


'Dancing With Leila" - my very own seedling of 'Last Dance which I named after a granddaughter. It's a dead ringer for 'Dance With Me'.


'Emerald Ruff Cut'


'Fortunei Aureomarginata'

I meant to include On Stage. This is in a friends garden....mine isn't this nice.

That IS a nice OS. Mine took quite a long time, but I think it might have been close to that this year.

Paul, I can't believe we have the same hostas, yours are just much bigger and nicer. I bought Dick ward at the end of the fall. I am in love with the emerald ruff-cut and the alligator shoes they are on my list for the spring.
Do either of you know where I can buy H. Ventricosa. I want to experiment with the seeds.

I googled Hosta ventricosa and came up with some sources. Try that. I like ventricosa aureomarginata better. It could have been one of my favorites.

I like it better too but I think only the H. ventricosa is true to seed. I already checked out all the sources on google, they were all duds, I came up with nothing.

Solid green hosta will produce solid green offspring. Banded hosta will do the same. Venticosa is such an old variety that you may not find it. I don't grow it.

Paul is right - a very old variety. Best bet to find it might be someone's garden.

Well, maybe it's just not what its cracked up to be.

Kiwi Full Monty


Snow Cap..still behaving no pull string showing up


Key Lime Pie


Last Dance...I couldn't walk pass this one all summer.Just had to stop and drink in the beauty.


Spilt Milk..don't know..have always loved it.

Fabulous photos. The one of Kiwi Full Monte is just elegant. Have you added them to the data base?

Love that 'Last Dance' can't wait for mine to get big, great picture!!

Love the pics. thanks for sharing them. I was also struck by Key Lime Pie. How large does it get? I'm out of space, but so far that hasn't slowed me down much.
