| I thought it might be interesting to see how the top 25 compared from a couple of previous polls-
The first two polls were from GW Hosta Forum. Paul |
|
| Awesome! Thanks for doing this Paul. |
|
| Paul thank you for taking the time. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Recently admitting my own new found addiction this is a great reference. Ludi |
|
| Paul, thanks for conducting the hosta poll, it was certainly needed and you put a lot of creativity and effort into it! Bernd |

| Great job, Paul |
|
| Great Job! Thank you. Harry |
|
| You did a great job! Thanks! Jason |

| Paul- Fantastic job! I found myself antsy in anticipation for the results. As you know, I asked to poll how many of the nominated hostas were being grown by the nominators. My polling was short, simple and effective. We love what we grow and grow what we love. I can say that with 98% surety. I wish we lived close enough so I could sit down with you some rainy day (seems little chance of that this year even if we did live close together) and go over how you developed your data development process. Thank you, Paul. Les |

| Thanks for the work you put in, very interesting to see what other people like. I was surprised to see Great Expectations collect 23 votes. It's lovely, and one of my favorites, but all I hear about it is that it's too hard to grow. |

| awesome! thanks a ton man! you did a very good job! |
|
| Thanks for all the work, Paul. Very interesting results. (But can't you sneak Gypsy Rose up a bit higher? I have her and think she is terrific!). Kate : ) |
|
| Paul, every aspect of your survey is outstanding. I like that you compared the results of your survey to past surveys. I'm bookmarking this thread for future reference. |

| You're all welcome. Hard to believe the last Hosta Forum poll was 2008, seemed much more recent. Happy to see so many participate in the voting. Early results had June and Liberty tied. Last 30-40% of the vote is when June stretched it out. Also, a bit surprised at the number of different hosta nominations. Shows how many nice cultivars there are and how tastes vary. Queen of the Seas, Gold Standard, Atlantis, and Golden Meadows are some that stood out to me for changes in positions. I'm sure there are many more. 15 hosta were in the top 25 on all three lists - many of these are/were Hosta of the Year. Paul |

| Thanks, Paul bkay |
|
| Thanks for the list, Paul. And for including the last polls. The best thing I see is that there were many more people voting this time, GW Hosta forum is growing! chris |
|
| I totally forgot about Queen of the Seas- I would have had it on my list. So Queen of the Seas +1 ;) |

| Interesting, so thanks, even though there are some 'science' issues. Most interesting, for me, is the position of the next two years HOTY's in this list. I rest my case ;-) Then again, we all already know that THAT process is 'commercial', . . . Thanks for the fun, hh |

| Thought this might be a good thread to bump to the top as people are making their hosta shopping lists. Paul |

| Paul What a great list and thanks for the bump up. I find I was looking on the list and either have a bunch or they are on a want list. Now to check it out farther. My list has grown from about 7 to 20 plus but where to put them ??? Faye |
|
| How timely for this list to reappear. Great job Paul - many many people will benefit from all your hard work. I'm making additions to 'the list', and waiting for spring... Jan |

| Thanks for making this list! I have added a number of choices to my wish list for shopping this year based on the list: Touch of Class Queen of the Seas Komodo Dragon Atlantis Golden Meadows Now if only I can find them locally, that is the hard part. There is a place about 45 mins away that I have never been to, but they are a hosta nursery, so I am super excited to go there on April 27, list in hand!! |
