I see people showing off thier babies a lot so how do you do it?
I might be interested in doing a few expiriments myself ( I love doin' expiriments!)

Don't forget JGH's explanation:

Actually, there are a couple of other entries at the FAQ site (mostly on page 2) for some good background on breeding.

I'm sorry when i looked at the title it made grin.Is it like breeding cattle.Then i thought give them some viagra.it must work wonders.Now i'm laughing thinking not to let them get to close together.A little candle light a night out to get them in the moude.Sorry old age mind is
slipping away from me. Jimmy

Dear,
On my site you can see the videofilm 'Designer Genes - hybridizing Hosta ' from Ron Livingston. The film is English spoken by Ron Livingston himself.
Go to
http://www.hostacollectie.be , under the button ' Artikels ' ,and click on the article: Hosta's kruisen ' Designer Genes - hybridizing Hosta ' ( met videofilm ).
Friendly regards,
Danny

and you both beat me to the punch! A little candlelight, a little Barry White...
By the way, now is the time for the lazy to watch the garden for new seedlings. As I weed around I'm finding lots of little one leaf hostas of who-knows parentage... when I have time, I like to move them to the back forty and just let them grow up til I can use them as giveaways...

Barry White produces the best mood of all in order to get amazing babies!
