    Hi Mike, you got a good selection. I got a h.'Bridal Falls' last year, is to get big and beautiful, looking forward to it. My mature 'Mourning Dove' is showy, a nice blue.

    I've put Frosted Dimples, Alligator Shoes and Mourning Dove in the same bed. Each is beautiful, like a group of pretty sisters. I haven't done the research into families to see if they're related. Mourning Dove is the one in the sun.

    The only one I have on your list is Raspberry Sundae, Really nice plant and I was surprised how yellow it was in spring, its a very colourful hosta with great potential . I have not seen a photo of a mature one yet, if anyone has one please post a pic.

    Mourning Dove has been on my "to get" list for a while..

    Hi, Mike!

    Good to see you posting again... I have two from your list of very lovely hostas: Bridal Falls and Raspberry Sundae.

    The pic of RS shows the intense raspberry colour and as Denis stated, the leaves emerge a pretty yellow colour and turn white thereafter. I got it in 2013 where it had 4 leaves (1 eye/division) to emerge in 2014 with two divisions. This should be a stunning hosta when mature and I have not seen a mature one yet.

    Ludi posted a pic of his either last year or this year and it is much prettier and larger than mine.

    That RS looks so so wonderful! can't wait on it. I am opening up some new space this season so I have plenty of room to fill up. hoping Bridal falls fattens up fast. I get a real itch to buy plants when I can't go outside so Im sure I will add a few me before spring

    Great choices!

    here's a pic of morning dove in the gardens of Plant Delights.

    and here's a pic of my Bluetooth. 2 years old, doing well, had faded some when this picture was taken because it got caught out in the sun too long but still beautiful and one of my favorites for its uniqueness.

    It makes me very very proud to see that people on the other side of that big Ocean select a Hosta I bred to give it a space in their garden (Blushing Blue).

    I hop you enjoy it.

    Wow Tom! What a great looking hosta you have bred. I am sure any of us who were not familiar with this one will be adding it to our wish list. Congrats!
