| Does anyone have one? They seem to be an older variety and not exceptionally popular. However, since our house (the Cottage) is directly on the shore of Lake Ontario, I want one, even if it's a boring plain jane! The only photos I've seen, it looks rather like a NOID I have (well, I had three, and I had to split them and now I have many) that was here when we bought the Cottage. Just looking for experiances with it, pics, whatever. I'm just psyched that there's a hosta with that name! |

| Lol...I found him via the WNY hosta society and shot him an email. I can't find an active website for Eagle Bay Gardens :( |

| Or look in the publication 'Hosta Finder' by Steve Greene, though I've wasted too many hours calling the purported vendors found there who were supposed to be carrying such-and-such a plant only to run into voice-mail systems that never called back, and many who did that did no longer carry the cultivar. It IS, though, a source... and with no competitor in sight. hh |

| While Jim's doesn't list Lake Ontario, it does list the other Great Lakes. He might have an OS which he'd be willing to part with. You might post a picture of the one you have as a NOID, and given the expertise of folks on here, they can make a pretty good case for identifying your NOID. However, I see another option for you. What I propose is that you ADOPT the hosta you have AS a LO, and dub it LO, and for heaven sake I do not think anyone in the entire region would have a clue that is was not. Adopt it into your EclecticCottage LO family, and voila, it becomes LO. Must say, I admire giving homes/houses names. My first house I named MoccasinLanding, on a bayou here in Mobile. Now my new stucco cottage is named White Dove ---and I recently acquired several Hosta 'White Dove'-- I almost settled for H. 'Mourning Dove' but it was not what I wanted. |
