Re: Let's show Paul some love!!!

Thanks Paul!
I wish I could have met you at the convention, I was there, but I don't know what you look like.

Re: Am I going nuts?

I have the creams together too... and like you for a long time, was missing one to finish the set. That was Pistachio Cream, which is solid dark green, and I am pretty sure that it was a gift from Steg here when he visited me a couple years ago.... he knew I wanted it.

It really looks like El Capitan to me. Pics at the Hosta Library are very close.

Re: INVITATION HLG Gathering - AHS Convention

I'm planning on being there with a small group of family... looking forward to it. I did a similar thing in 2005 at my house (Cleveland)

Re: Looking for a good border Hosta - Suggestions?

Diamond Tiara was the one I thought of, like Jim. It grows fast, and margin is wide enough to see easily.

Re: Paul's Glory with two different looks?

I agree that the second plant is probably Gold Standard, and not Paul's Glory. The leaf on Gold Standard has no hint of blue wax and the margin is narrow.

Shared Memories is the seedling of mine that you all named that day. You said yours is green, so I assume you have it, Goose!

Re: Krista

It was one that I donated to the auction and it had a lot of eyes, so whoever won it, named it and divided it up into about 5 pieces. I had lost the tags on some nice seedlings, those were the ones I donated. I think it was fall of 2008.

Re: I've come to the conclusion you're a bunch of hosta geek

Viking Ship is from my friend Ray Weigand in Mentor-on-the-Lake. I work close to where he lives.
What a surprise to see you got it Scott!

Re: Small Hosta Suggestion Please

you have a yellow and a blue so I would go for a green mini.
'Shining Tot' would fit the bill.
I like Teaspoon, but it is not shiny.

I like Hope and Cameo if you want variegated.

Re: NOID Id please?

Before I read Chris's post I thought Northern Exposure.
It could be American Halo too.
Great Arrival is related, a reverse of Great Expectations... the margins start yellow and get whiter during the season.

Re: H. Nigrescens

It's a very impressive plant in a clump, and distinctive even though 'just a plain green'.
Tenryu is the same, can't tell them apart.

Re: Sad news about George Donsky

I am really going to miss talking with George at the future meetings, and seeing his very thought provoking posts on the forums. I met George during the Cleveland convention in 2005 when he came with a Hallson's group to my house, bringing a piece of h. 'Yellow Splash' as a gift. We always catch up ...
