Same thing here. Rob is my #1 Hosta place. I like other places too but Rob's plants by far are the biggest the only other person that has even compars is tnifong1 on eBay! I got Krossa Regal and Guacamole last year from Rob and they were rock bottom prices for 4(KR) and 7(Guac.) eyes! This year BOTH OF THEM are HUGE!! I just got a whole bunch of hostas from him last week and I am more than impressed with all of them. My Goodness Gracious is AWEEEE-SOMEEEE!!!! Of all the Hosta growers that people talk about on here I don't think Rob gets enough credit. You know actually I think maybe it's because everyone wants to keep him a secret for themselves
I hope I can get more too(only I hope it's more like later this summer )

sorry I really like smileys

Do the two of you wish to share a little linky to the secret website? I searched online and found info that he bought the name and everything else but I couldn't find a website for him.

Thanks,
Frank

Rob does not have a website but he does have a facebook page Lakeside Acres you will have to email him

I visited Rob's Lakeside Acres last week and he was very willing to show me through his garden. He has a ton of plants and some which I just drooled over. He was kind enough to replace one plant I lost last year and is an excellent source for anyone who wants a good deal on hostas. Thank you, Rob. He can be reached through email, phone, or Facebook. Or through the GardenWeb Forum.

He's also selling a lot of different plants on the hosta library auction.

alyciaadamo--I've been drooling over the Goodness Gracious plants he has on the HL auctions--it's definitely on my list for next year's order. I keep telling myself I'm done ordering for this year, but somehow I keep checking those auction listings. The LS Prophecy is very tempting also. I got LS Dividing Line this year, it's been on my wish list for a while, and now he's listing some of the seldom seen Lakesides--makes it hard to resist.

dhaven I so agree, I find myself caving in and I think there might be some packages I might have to keep from my husband soon

I just got some of these this month then the KR and Guac from last year

Sally and Bob

Guacamole I got last year as a 8 eyes(BTW $5) this year as 12

Krossa Regal I got as a 5 eyes($10) this year is 7 eyes

I've placed an order with Rob, (yesterday) and found him to be a really nice person to talk hosta with and to communicate with in general.
I believe him to be a man of integrity, based on our conversations! I love it when I find someone like that, not only to do business with,
but, better yet, to get to know!

I can't wait to see what I get--I know I'll not be disappointed! Now--where in the world will I put these new plants when they arrive???

Oh, (I meant to say this in my previous message) thank you, 'dhaven' for the heads up about Rob!
It's so nice to have someone highly recommended by folks who know hosta and know when they
receive good specimens from a hosta source!

Rob sells a lot on the Hosta Auction also.

hey j.
I have room,ha ha
cAROL

Oh, I bet you do, cAROL! I mean REALLY YOU DO!!! I'm jealous of your place, and the space you have but, as I told McTavish, just today, perhaps I'm thankful I don't have the room you and she and others have. I mean, we ARE retired and on a fixed income and it's fast becoming a broken income these days, and badly in need of fixing (if you know what I mean)! ;o))

Okay--I got my hosta from Rob today--a very fast ship, too!
I am delighted to have such a wonderful looking 'L.S. Prophecy'
and these others, too:

I might add, the roots filled every glass they were in--to the top! Rob knew what I wanted, as per our conversations
and my $$ limit. I wanted, above all 'L.S. Prophecy' and I asked him to choose from what I liked that would fit within
my limitation! I am very happy with his choices for me and it was really fun to do it that way!

A very positive experience on my end and I hope he enjoyed 'the game' with me allowing him to have free-reign in
choosing for me--I think he might have! ;o)
