They have cross pollinated here and they pop up in odd places, usually reverting to the species, which is fine by me. <BR/>BTW, I heard from the gardening welder guy, Christopher Mello and have posted an update about him today.<BR/><BR/>Frances at Faire GardenFrances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-42750755828158769792008-02-12T19:18:00.000-06:002008-02-12T19:18:00.000-06:00Nina, I was joking but thanks so much for offering...Nina, I was joking but thanks so much for offering. I will get some new ones this year. I am thinking of a few large ones to go behind the Coral Bell for a different look then just the plain hosta in years past.... <BR/><BR/>Was another nice warm day here! I was inside cleaning house most of the day. Major cleaning like under the fridge and washer and dryer. My spring cleaning!

When we get into it I will be happy to send you some hosta, if you were serious! They would be the regular everyday ones.(green with white on edge of leaf).

I have the caramel & am anxious to see what it will do this yr. I like the different colors. Hostas can be different heights as one of mine is miniature--only gets about 6" high. I like the hostas as they also have different color of leaves & are shaped different. I like the larger one with puckeredAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-31647147836360245732008-02-12T11:15:00.000-06:002008-02-12T11:15:00.000-06:00Send me some hosta Nina.

I have on order the caramel, which is an apricot or bright gold color. I do agree that it is one of the flowers you want to collect one of each variety! A few years ago I got carried away with hosta. Finally had to say enough!Ninahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06844563083948984664noreply@blogger.com
