Looking at the American Hosta Society "local Societies" page. there are none in Colorado, but perhaps just across in the next states. But perhaps there are some gardening groups in your states with hosta people?

Here is a link that might be useful: Lookup for local hosta societies

Thanks for the tip, Bernd...I'll search for gardening groups in general and see where that takes me.

DonB, are there any groups of gardeners here on GWeb which might be productive for contacts?

I was on Alabama Garden forum, then the New England forum. I'd have to scan the list of gardening forums here to see what might be the hangout for other Colorado gardeners. Rocky Mountain gardening? Are you in the mounteens? Near the Mile High City?

There used to be a forum poster who went by the name"Scooters Bear" on this forum but they seemed to have disappeared. This was a while back. Phil
