| New to this sight . I have over 40 hostas but I have 9 from years ago that I have no idea what they are. I have been looking at the HL and think that #7 may be Lancifolia and #5 Abiquade Delight. Any help identifying these were be apprecaited.

| Pic #1 not sure maybe Ginko Craig Pics 2&3 Undulata univitata Pics 3&4 Blue Cadet (I assume this is more blue earlier in the Spring) Pics 5&6 Undulata erromena (if it blooms in July with purple flowers, if white flowers in August it's Royal Standard) Pics 7&8 Fortunei Aureomarginata Pics 9&10 Undulata Albomarginata Pics 11&12 Lancifolia Pics 13&14 Not sure. Are those flowers fragrant? Pics 15&16 Golden Tiara It really is easier for us if you post 2 or 3 per thread. That way it reduces confusion scrolling up and down and allows for others to correct all the mistakes that I made :~). Steve |

| #8 (full leaf pic) looks to have some coloring along the veins that may be virus. #1 I'm guessing stiletto. Paul |
|
| Thanks much for your help. Maybe I will re-post only with 2 or 3 per post with the information you have provided. |
|
| I'm with Paul and hosta freak, that's 'Stiletto' in the first shot. Pieter |

| #1 is Stiletto #2 is Undulata Univittata #3 ? - seems too corrugated for Blue Cadet to me, so I'm not sure #4 ? #5 Hosta Virus X infected Fortunei Aureomarginata #6 Undulata Albomarginata #7 Lancifolia #8 Blue Angel (definitely) #9 Golden Tiara |

| Yeah I agree with ctopher...too corrugated for blue cadet... And the big blue could very well be blue angel... We all know how much elegans can vary... John |

| i would put money on steve ... basically.. you have the top 9 MOST COMMON HOSTA.. sold in the last 35 years ... all sold as 'collections' from bulb companies.. and until recently [since 9 years ago.. when you got them] .. the only ones sold by bigboxstore ... where did you get them 9 years ago???? am i close??? and that is why your guess of abiqua delight is probably off.. since i doubt it was ever sold in mass volume... [but i could be wrong] whatever.. you have a nice base collection... are you open to enabling?? .. we are pretty good at it.. lol .. welcome.. come back often.. ken

| Ken adrian I believe I got some of these from my mother well over ten years ago. A couple I may have bought from the local nursery and just did not keep the tag. The last 7 years or so I now keep the labels and keep a layout of the gardens so I know where things are. Thanks all for your help. IF I can't identify them I guess I will just keep calling them Big Green or Green with yellow edge. I may even replace some of them with newer varieties. |

| Don't know where they went, but every picture above #8-9 disappeared from the thread, not even shown as removed. But my comment is about #1 anyway......I really like your Stiletto, it is a well behaved hosta small as it is, growing nicely between two larger plants yet holding its own. If I ever put more in the ground, I think Stiletto will be one of them, based on the way yours looks. |
|
| I am almost positive #1 is Stiletto. My Ginko Craig has larger and more ovate leaves. The virtual continuation of the petiole into the blade and continuation of white variegation, the leaf dimensions exactly match my Stiletto. I also had in mind exactly as Chris listed 5 - 9 before I read his reply (except I didn't pick up the HVX-I wasn't looking for it. It is my affliction for not walking and chewing bubble-gum at the same time). Les |
