I recall when Foxfire closed their doors... someone got a few of their hostas, but I can't recall who. I know Ed Thaubald has a few... But does anyone know if Steve's Ruby Princess is out there anywhere?

A few yrs ago, Steve send me an image of it... and it really is pretty and wouldnt mind having it one day. It has similar markings to Palm Sunday, if i recall correctly.

For Canadians, Goldenbrook Hostas has at least some of them.

Ann -- I did a bit of searching and found Bill Silvers, in Georgia has a good handful of them.
no mention of the Ruby Princess though...

Bill Silvers and Ed Thaubald are partners too. If Bill didn't end up with 'Ruby Princess' then Jeff Miller of Land of the Giants just might have..... and then again it just might have got lost in the madness those last few days. Steve did show it to Marie and I one time but haven't heard anyting about it since. I believe it was a sport of 'Alex Summers' and was something special.

Thanks Jeff -- I did realize Ed and Bill were partners when I went to the web site, as I've already purchased from "liners" and "streaked" last year.

Hopefully it didn't get lost in the shuffle -- sure was pretty.

Jim's Hostas has 18 different Foxfire cultivars, several that are OS. He has Palm Sunday, but not Ruby Princess.

I am so glad someone asked, I want to replace my Rose Red. Jim should have it. I hope his is a lot cheaper.

Now that Jim as passed, who has his Hostas?

Sylvia, which Jim are you talking about?

OK Diann, I am thoroughly embarrassed! I just went back to his site and its there, in all its glory!
I read it several times, started off in DG in the vendor files, someone had known him for fifty years, someplace else he was a brother in law! I went online and his site was completely dismantled. I spent 30 minutes or more trying to pull him up and I got all this weird stuff. I felt terrible! I sure hope he has some back up for his farm. What a terrible lost if something was to happen to him.
Anyway he has a few Foxfire Hostas, but not my Rose Red! Remember when I bought that Hosta, everybody wanted a piece and I decided to put it in the ground ... then I forgot where I planted it and sat a big pot on it! I am still crying! We never got to see if the flower was really red.

Sylvia it's cool.

OS are currently growing, will be at least 2 years for Rose Red from this guy

Ed

Ed you know who has Rose Red? Why two years, its a fast grower! That picture of mine is not more than a year old. There is another plant they had too, something with name Snake in it? Ed, Please keep me posted.

FF Snake Eyes

Yes that's it! I had it too, it almost look like a vine, don't remember what happen to it. :(

Thanks Ed

Mine flowered, but it wasn't red. It was one of those I lost this year. Ed, would you let us know when you have it again? I had purchased it in memory of my little dog Rosella, and I'd really like to replace it.

Patti, I thought your Rose Red was still alive but struggling?


Dianne is that the Christmas tree Hosta?

No plans on Rose Red here for a couple of years, it will have to grow some more

Jeff, Bill and I have separated, as of this year he is on his own and so am I

Ed

Sylvia, the little hosta I thought was Rose Red, isn't. It has lost its tag and I don't know what it is. But it's not Rose Red. Has yellow margins.

Patti how could you lose info on a plant like that? LOL what is going on with you? How can I talk ? when I forgot I had put it in the ground and placed that big strawberry pot on top of it.
