I purchased a bunch of liners from Ed, hoping in the spring they are as pretty as they were when i got them.... Then I saw something he posted on FB, so i wandered over to StreakedHostas, and found his "bargain of the day" was Brave Attempt, and I snatched it up. I can not seem to find any images I took of it though. Pretty streaker though!! and for the life of me, I can't recall where I put it... Hope I left the plant tag with it.

Got a new laptop and forgot to add this site to my favorites!

Paul - I hope you find a 'Confused Angel' somewhere. I bought one the first year they were available from Naylor Creek and it died last year. The boyz said that they didn't think they would be able to get anymore. If you find some for sale would you please let me know? It is a pretty one.

A friend and I sent in our Naylor Creek order the other day to take advantage of the early order discount and free shipping. I ordered several "Mice" for my mouse bed and also Regal Supreme and Fragrant Queen. I was disappointed that they didn't have Confused Angel. My problem is my lack of available space. I have some nice plants that are duplicates and I should dig those and give them away and make room for a few new to my garden ones. Susan, those look very tempting.

Thanks Paul, Nice choices on those hostas, sorry you didn't get Confused Angel. I have made room to plant medium and small hostas in front of the large but sense the real big ones were just a clump of roots when I got them in the fall, I really don't know how it is going to look and I an getting nervous about space also. Good luck with your garden! Thumbs up

Paul there is a co-op by Bentley Gardens in Mamajack's Cubit that has Confused Angel 6 pack starters for $108 I do not now if this is a good price for this . They also have Brave Attempt and Praise Him for $60 a 6 pack plus many non streaked ones . I think the co op just started today. I think it said something about free shipping, I'm also running out of space not sure if I want 6 of one kind.

I have purchased from 'Bentley Gardens' several times on eBay and there are other good vendors who have started their businesses on eBay. I have found several good ones. Just recently I purchased a 'Valley's Glacier' and 'White Feather' from 'Gardenbreezehostas' they are good plants and nicely packed. You don't have to bid, a lot of stuff is 'Buy Now' and even if you do bid, not many out there biding against you this time of year. Thumbs up

Susan how has White Feather done for you. I have it for 3 years now and it has never really grown any larger . It is very nice in the spring and slowly disintegrates when the hotter weather comes.

Hilarious! I haven't actually gotten it yet. They wont ship till Spring. Shrug!
I will let you know how it goes, thanks for the heads up. So you say it dosn't like hot weather and you are in zone 6. I guess mine will have to be in full shade, I had a white last year that did that, then I moved it to full shade and it perked up. It was LONESOME DOVE, I love the white ones! Lovey dubby

White Feather starts out all white but as the weather warms up it turns green. At least that is what mine do.

I hear you! I had some that got a little bleached out by the sun but some don't like any sun so I don't know. I was hoping it would stay white.

I wouldn't call 'Allegan Fog' streaked. More like misted (though mine has a few leaves which are showing large sections of solid green) and it's stable. Same with 'Korean Snow' Both are much whiter when they emerge.

'Allegan Fog' - end of June
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/2b88eb

'Korean Snow' - June 20
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/c72712

The truly streaked ones I have are:

'Ice Age Trail' - mid July photo. Not as streaky as it once was, but there is still some streaking in each leaf.
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/685ad6

'Liberty Bell' - not stable at all. It had stabilized to 'Bell Ringer' before it even arrived. It's still a pretty hosta, but somewhat susceptible to slug damage. Photo June 20.
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/d81d45

'Lakeside Mom' - June 28 is a lovely streaked plant which seems to be quite stable.
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/d2c1e7

'OHS Streaker' - my garden name for a plant I was given when the Ontario Hosta Society toured my garden. So far it's doing very well. I don't know its heritage at all.
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/b5c672

A streaked version of 'Pewterware' which was given to me by a friend (it sported in her garden).. I've had it several years and it's doing quite well.
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/8523f1

'Royal Mouse Ears' - June 20. First year in my garden, but so far so good.
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/9cca00

'Spilt Milk' - end of June. I've never really considered this one streaked. maybe because it doesn't have as much "milk" spilt on the leaves as some plants do.
Thumb of 2012-02-06/ViolaAnn/b867f3

'Stealth' June 20 is supposed to be streaked but it has nearly entirely stabilized to what?? So far I've not been able to find out if the stabilized form has a name.
