Thanks for posting...'Mourning Dove' is a nice plant, not really familiar with it.

Lovely photos. Thanks for sharing.

If they don't open, how are they pollinated?

I like your 'Mourning Dove', mbug. I was eyeing that one today as the Naylor Creek Boyz currently have it listed in the Hosta Library Auction.

I have read that HOSTA CLAUSA var. CLAUSA is sterile. There is another variation, HOSTA CLAUSA var NORMALIS, that is fertile.

Both of these hostas are listed at the HOSTA LIBRARY website.

i am surprised your clause 'squared' ... doesnt show the hot pink in the blooms.. perhaps because the pic was taken at mid day ...

check them after dinner ... i the more diffused light of evening ... especially if the sky flashes pink near dusk ...

why in the world you would want to breed ... on or with C is beyond me ... its a nondescript green plant ... but i am glad you know how to research such ....

mine .. 14 years in the ground.. is at least 10 feet square ... nearly an invasive ... lol ...
