| Anyone looking for a 'Gunther's Prize' hosta? Bernadine46 is offering a very nice division of a mature hosta.
Have bought from this seller and gotten very nice plants. 'GP' is a very difficult to find hosta. The division offered is nicely streaked! I am not affiliated with this seller in any way. 'GP' is a hosta I really like! |

| I agree with you Trudy. GP is a fun hosta to have in a collection. So far I have four big fat eyes coming up on mine and I am looking forward to it leafing out. |
|
| For how much did 'Gunther's Prize' go? I just looked there and it no longer was available. Probably at least $100? I registered with the registration not asking for a password. Then when I tried to bid on a plant, the site asked for my password and I had none. Then I tried to go to the administrator which required to use Outlook which I do not use, so did not get his Email address, so that try did not work at all. Bernd |

| Bernd, I was surprised noone bid on it. I bought it for the asking price of $75.00. I think this makes about 14 hostas I have with Sum and Substance in it. I should be getting Blizzard and Gunther's Prize within day of each other. A few months back, the HL deleted everyone's account and you were required to create a new one. I recreated my account this afternoon and placed the bid. Gesila |

| Oh, and thank you Trudy for providing the reference on the seller. Now, if I could just find Joyce Trott.... Gesila |

| I was thinking of bidding, but when I saw another bid I thought it was someone from this forum (I actually thought it was Robyn) and so I let it go. Trying to show restraint. I should have known it was Gesilla. Steve |

| I probably automatically got my password via Email from Bob Axmear, so I seem to be set now for bidding. Starting this weekend the Hosta Seed Grower Forum's Auction starts, will watch that. $75 is above my hosta limit anyway, but might have bought it... When you Google for 'Gunther's Prize', In the Country sells Gunther's Prize Rim' for $25 which they write is the common stable form of the streaker 'Gunther's Prize'. So it seems separating G.P.Rim from G.P. is required periodically. |

| Hi Steve, I appreciate your bidding restraint on my behalf - however it was not me. My User name for the library auction is actually the same as the one I use on this forum - hostabuff. I believe you have a picture of Rick G's Gunther's Prize and know how beautiful a big one can be. Everyone should have GP! |

| What is the difference between 'Blizzard' and Gunther's Prize'?? They are both streaked sports of S&S, no? Are they both fertile? |
|
| Yes both are fertile, but the percentage of getting strong seedlings is low. I have gotten a seedling from each of the mentioned. Rick G's photo of 'GP" is one of the best around! Have seen it in person and its a beauty. Anybody here win the 'GP' on the Hosta Library? Dawn's Bloomers may have more. Keep checking the auction, you never know! Looking forward to seeing the one of a kind hostas on the auciton! |
