Cogglywood

Hi,

Does anybody know anything about this hosta? It looks a lot like 'Alley Oop' and 'Cathy's Clown' to me. I'm wondering where it came from.

Nope, looks like something gone wrong

I wondered about it when I saw that, too. Jamie bid on it; maybe he can tell you.

Aside from this one, what about several hostas listed by one person that have some unusual names?

Hi Bill,
It's suppose to be similar in appearance but overall a smaller plant. This is what the seller told me when I asked and mentioned the 2 you did. I honestly don't expect to win it and am sure someone will outbid me in the last few secs. I wanted to compare it with the Alley Oop I have here.

Do think it looks a little like this plant?

Okay, so did anyone find 'other' pictures as they state on the hostalibrary? I did a search and found only on the page listing streaked breeders, but it isn't shown in pictures anywhere I could find?

Hi Jane,
I'll be the first to admit that I make mistakes when I offer a few for sale on ebay and I've seen a lot others do it before also..

There's lot of hostas that don't have pictures

and after reading that on the HL List's Section I have to say it's got to be legit cause the last update to that section was 2004. It was registered in 1999 and the seller has it spelled wrong I think..

Butch,
In person here Alley Oop and Winter Lightning have differences in colors. Your photo looks like my Winter Lightning here.

Hi Jamie,

Thanks for tracking it down. I never saw or heard of it.

Yes, Butch has Winter Lightning.

I don't want to turn this into the other thread, but that does seem like a good example of a collector plant that will stay pretty rare. Been around for 8 years now, and I've never seen or heard of it.

How is it different from 'Cathy's Clown' is what I want to know.

Jamie · Post by **Jamie** » Aug 13, 2007 10:33 pm

Or Alley Oop

.. There's probably no difference in the 3 at all. I'm assuming since it was registered 2 years before Alley Oop then AO and CC would really be the look alikes.. But then again that all depends on how long each person grew them before naming and registering

Hi Jamie and Rox,

Alley Oop was found by Malloy in 2000 if I remember right. It was a sport of something at a box store, probably Hyacinthina.

Cathy's Clown is maybe a year or two older and is a sport of one of Chick Wasitis' seedlings.

Neither were around early enough to be this plant. It is definitely a separate sport. If it is a sport of the same thing Alley Oop is, then it could be very similar or the same. As Cathy's clown is a separate seedling it would be different.

Hi Bill,
I ended up winning the Cogleywood and will be happy to add a older registered hosta like this to the collection. I'll compare AO and C with each other but I have a feeling there will be a slight difference. Tried to get my hands on a CC but no luck so far

.. Thanks for the info you posted

Alley Oop is a sport from Aoki
