This 2nd group is Lakeside Full Tide, George M. Dallas, Kiwi Full Monty, and a road-weary Medieval Age.

This 3rd group is Niagara Falls, Lucy Vitols, The King, and Cool As A Cucumber.

This 4th group is Northern Exposure, montana Aureomarginata, and Cheesehead, which every attendee was given as a gift. Cute little thing!

Finally, here's the ONE Hosta I won at the live auction, called "Black Beauty."

Love the almost inky blackness found within the corrugation.

Those are some nice ones. Black Beauty catches my eye. How big will it get? Love the corrugation already.

one of the reasons i dont go to conventions... is not the actual cost of the convention .. lol...

its the additional cost of all the hosta i couldnt live without ... lol

nice haul ....

Thanks guys. Lol, I hear you, Ken. This was my 1st Hosta convention and definitely not my last. It wasn't just Hostas I came home with, either. Garden art, stepping stones, massive concrete planter....unique things not found around here and far too heavy to have shipped. I was praying I wouldn't hit any bumps in the road. Or pebbles.

Hostahosta, the Library says BB will get 30" tall x 48" wide, although it may not get quite that large here in sw Missouri. It's out of Green Piecrust.
