Linking two threads here which on the surface appear to be about Whirlwind and Irish Diamonds. However, they are about hosta being relabeled or renamed as a trademark.
One is tokadama flavocircinalis as Happy Hippo in one thread with topic Whirlwind. Gardenweb link is

One is Allan P McConnell as Irish Diamonds in another thread.Gardenweb link is

In both cases, BUYER BEWARE.....although the nurseries may be wholesalers, watch for the labels.
