Holy cow--obviously some hosta-folk have a lot of "change" to spend on hosta!!! cough!
Some of those went for what I hope to stay under for a whole year!!! Some of us "retired"
folk have to do that, now, especially with paying for our own insurance--sheesh!!! :O)

It looks like the lowest winning bid was $40.00! I spent the most ever ($30) for one hosta,
several years ago on my Lady Isobel Barnett! It was a very mature planting then, in a huge pot,
maybe 5 gals, as I recall! It was worth it to me then, especially since it was to comemorate
our anniversary at the time!

Phil,

I'd be more than happy to call you when Paisley Parfait is selling for $10.00 anywhere, but I really think the devil will be wearing a parka before that happens.
It's not a fast grower and I have no intentions of offering it to a Tissue Culture lab to have it mass produced. I also believe it would fail in TC due to its unstable nature. It's strictly a plant for serious collectors and hybridizers.
As for the high price paid for these plants...it's to support the American Hosta Society, and I applaud the good folks who dig deep into their pockets to support one of the best plant societies in the world.
Phil, if you're not a member of the AHS, consider joining. It is $25.00 well spent!

Cheers,
Kent
(The hybridizer of Paisley Parfait)

No thanks,Kent! I already belong to USBC,FUMC,and AARP! I don't think I can afford another club! If anyone wants to spend that kind of loot,just to be the first to own another hosta,good luck! There are lots of hostas out there,that most of us will never SEE,let alone buy! Just MHO! Phil

I think it's worth it to belong to the AHS if only to get the Journal and other publications they send. In fact, this weekend when it 40 below windchill I plan to curl up with my past Journals and get a hosta fix! :-)
