Ops, need to make a change. It is hard when the hostas are dormant for me to make up my mind. So do I change in my first post, or do I tell you in a new post.

So here goes, tell me if I am doing this wrong.

Like LS Shoremaster instead of Kiwi Full Monty. The LSS grows better in our yard.

If you want to change, just change your original post...

thy · Post by **thy** » Mar 17, 2007 6:16 pm

Not to change- but to add - how could I forget Spilt Milk, War Paint and Captain Kirk

10 is just not possible

Spring have to be around the corner - Welcome back Homer

Listings have been updated....

You can still vote (or adapt your vote)
In order to facilitate the counting, please don't use smileys and don't rank your list

BTW, about all the remarks that 10 is too little. It's the only way to get a real differentiation. If everyone posts a top 50, all top hostas would appear in about every list, now you have to choose

Roxanne · Post by **Roxanne** » Mar 18, 2007 12:22 pm

I could easily list 50

Montana Aureomarginata
Liberty
Atlantis
Earth Angel
Summer Breeze
Great Expectations
Galaxy
Cathedral Windows
Deep Blue Sea
Paradigm
Niagra Falls
Choo Choo Train
Manhattan
Robert Frost
Northern Exposure
Touch of Class
El Nino
Guardian Angel
Moonlight Sonata
Prom Queen

June
Sagae
Lakeside Shoremaster
Dick Ward
Rainforest Sunrise

I knew this would happen if I went and posted to this thread....

I can't stop!!!!!

Updated, 40 votes for now

I guess the list is about complete now, few votes entering at the moment.

I can live with the list, I've got 7 out the top 10 (with 2 of them too big for my garden), so I got an average taste...

Thank you for participating, please feel free to add additional lists whenever you like

Moving this up in case any newcomers would like to use it for suggestions for spring purchases.
