Do you know who this hosta seedling is named after?

Started by seed in November and now is a very healthy 3 eyed plant.

Yes, its one from the Ruh seeds collection.
They all have grown quite well but only kept a couple.

You should have relabelled your pic. Would have made it tougher. I'm still gonna guess Warren G. Harding. :wink:

Nice strong seedling.
