I'm going to pretend it's Jan. 6 and post the ones I would have tomorrow. I'm not sure there will be time tomorrow. These are the "L" hostas NOT counting Lakeside.

'Loyalist', July 1.

'Lovely Leila', July 9. This is an unregistered seedling named after my 2nd granddaughter. I don't know the parentage as squirrels moved my markers around during its first winter. For a long time, I thought the pod parent was 'June', but the bloom is at a totally different time from the 'June' family. It often emerges with very light leaf centres that never fully darken, but remain misty in the centre.

'Little Treasure', July 9. This was grown in full sun after we lost a major tree. Now that a new tree is growing, it gets filtered shade, though it still gets quite a bit of sun.

'Little Sunspot', July 1. This wasn't doing well in the garden and has spent the last couple of years in a pot where it seems much happier, but I need to find it a garden location.

'Little Miss Sunshine', July 9. Another that wasn't doing well in the garden and has spent the last couple of years in a pot where it seems much happier. I also need to find this a garden location.

'Limey Lisa', July 9. This one needs to be moved, but it didn't happen last year. It regularly heaves during the winter in spite of extra soil that I add to it. Not quite sure why it's affected as none of my others have this problem on a regular basis.

'Liberty', July 1. One of the few large hostas I have.

'Lemon Frost', July 9. This is a very fast-growing, easy-to-divide mini. Makes a GREAT border plant.

'Last Dance'', July 29. This had wandered around a bit. A couple of years ago, I dug it, enriched its spot in the garden and removed tree roots and replanted and it looks happier.
