    What do I have in my collection? I really had to think. I have a couple that have been posted. I hope you don't mind seeing mine. And I have one not posted yet! Yippee. Found one---even though I know some of you must have this one.) Who mentioned that you don't have to cut flower stalks off, but just bend them over? That's just what I did with this one.

    Since we already have added Atlantis to this thread, how about just one leaf specimen?

    Great pics, HH. A few I hadn't seen before. I have 'Reptilian'. Anyone know what size a mature clump is? I look it up and get 'Small' to 'Large' size. My guess is a small/medium? Just a guess.

    Thanks,

    HH. Glad to see another Katsuragawa Beni ;-). Love the red petioles and the way it creeps into the leaf as well. Mine is young...nice to see what it looks like in your garden...you have so many lovely hosta.

    Wendy, I LOVE the plant left of Marilyn Monroe..what is it please? It looks so pretty with MM....I have MM also and want to highlight her...I think I've found her growing companion! Thanks.

    Here's my Marrakech.

    Eleven, You have a pretty Komodo Dragon. Is the red plant to the left an Indian Pink? Nice.

    Paul, it took me two minutes to scroll down to the bottom of this thread to respond about your Celtic Dancer. I was smitten first look, it has to go in the cluster I have of Candy Dish, Irish Luck, Celtic Uplands (which makes beaucoup seedpods) and I think something nice and yellow/green in the middle, maybe Smooth Sailing. Well, anyway, I am now looking for Celtic Dancer, not for the WISH list, but for the FALL ORDER list.
    Fall is just around the corner, and most nurseries up nawth will not ship or dig after October 1st. So not much time left to find it.

    This thread is killing me!

    Paul, do you have Fruit Punch to go with your Eola Salad Bowl? It has all kinds of colors going on, but the squirrels ate mine this spring....before I peppered the pots.

    Jo,
    The hosta to the left of my Marilyn Monroe is Alex Summers.

    Lakeside Down Sized has become my favorite small this year. Definitely wavy. Colorful too.

    Love seeing everyone's hosta. They are beautiful.

    plantbug, I have a few 'Tiny Ghost' Asiatic lilies next to 'Komodo Dragon'. I do have an Indian Pink elsewhere, but the rabbits keep eating it to the ground (they eat the lilies too, but late enough that I got a cage on this one in time).

    Wendy, thank you!

    Paul, your Illicit Affair is so very lovely, almost delicate looking...it is exquisite...the size, shape, colour...I really love it.

    Hostahillbilly, I believe that just possibly, for starters, off the top of my head, between Jim, Paul and yourself, the three of you can carry this entire forum and have it covered . . . it's amazing how many varieties/cultivars you have! :-). I don't think there is a hosta out there that is not in someone's garden on this forum.

    It is such a treat to be able to enjoy viewing so many new varieties, thank you for sharing.

    Wow! What a great thread. When I started looking at this thread I decided I would pick out my favorite one. I ended up with at least 15 "favorite ones". :)
