ViolaAnn said:Stay away from the Paul Aden Hosta Book because Paul has been shown to have fraudulently registered many hostas under his name that were, in fact, stolen from others. So while there's some good basic info in it, there's also a lot that is no longer valid.

Ann I read the low down on Paul Aden at the Hosta Library and I had my mouth hanging open at least 3/4 of the time I was reading. Of the unmitigated gall! I just kept shaking my head in disbelief. I have read of a few instances of stealing in the daylily world and also a hybridizer smuggling cocaine but I guess I have known those stories for awhile and the impact isn't as fresh.
