Help with a couple of IDs

[lykaon78]

I was lazy last fall and forgot to label my newer hosta. Please help identify if you can.

This one has been abused. I stepped on it when it first came up while I was mowing.


One of these two (or maybe both) are Summer Breeze or Shade Fanfare.



Going for the yellow one here next to Elvis Lives. The second one is a little closer.



Edit: Figured out the Picasa Web Album so now the actual pictures show here.

The first one looks like Dream Queen or Thnderbolt. Either of those ring a bell?
The next two are likely Shade Fanfare, but definitely not Summer Breeze.
I don't have a guess on the little yeloow one.

Like Linda's opinion - Thunderbolt for the first one.

On the second one - my first thought was Unforgettable but it's probably to young to tell.

No guess on the third - I couldn't come up with any wavy edge small yellows.

I found a list that I'm pretty sure I updated before last years' secret trade: http://www.perennialnursery.com/forums/ ... 78#p387628

From the list I think the first one is either Lakeside Cupcake or American Sweetheart. I have a Thunderbolt somewhere else in my garden.

I think the first yellow margined one may be Summer Breeze and the second Sweet Innocence.

And the all yellow may be Gold Star.

Hi,

The first one looks like Thunderbolt to me too. It definitely isn't American Sweetheart and I don't think it is Lakeside Cupcake.

My first thought on picture 2 was Sweet Innocence. The vein spacing helps with this one as the fragrant ones have wider spaces between veins. It definitely is not Summer Breeze and the third picture doesn't look like Summer Breeze to me either so I don't know what that one is.

I don't have Gold Star but after looking it up I think you are right on that one.

Agree on both DQ and SF
