| I stopped trying to explain my hosta interest to others. I have Little Aurora and Little Sunspot - plan on them being more small sized than mini. Paul |

| Hi, Paula... those are all plants worth growing, but a little warning... You referred to them as minis. The Itsy Bitsy Spider will stay tiny - or it has for me for severeal years. Cookie Crumbs will probably stay tiny... its leaves will stay tiny and, though it grows well, it isn't a rapid reproducer like Craker Crumbs (which keeps small leaves but pretty rapidly increases to a small clump. As I typed, I realized Paul had given half of my message. Little Aurora is a little slow, but will become a small clump and the leaves will be well beyond the mini range. Little Sunspot, the sport from Little Aurora, has more chlorophyll and is a much better grower than its parent and can form a good-sized small clump. |

| Do not have the ones named. But I just potted up a couple of small to minis. I got Tiny Tears, and then Little Jay. Since I'm having bad luck with Masquerade, I thought maybe Little Jay would work better here. I think the extensive white may encounter a problem with our heat, but we will see if it happens to Little Jay. It is more vigorous than the versions of Masquerade I received. Although I love Masquerade, it might wind up being my Waterloo. |
