Alright then Paul, two out of four, going back to my original guess starting in the upper left corner and continuing diagonally to the bottom right corner---I'll change my guesses to, Silk Kimono, Stained Glass, (free space), On Stage, Robert Frost.

Jenna - 3 of 5 right
Shade - 2 of 4 right

Alright all you lurkers, give it a try - step forward.

I'll give some help in a day or so if it's needed. But I think column 4 will be guessed correctly soon.

Paul

Paul, I am not good at identifying hosta but I will give it a try.

Fourth row horizontal:

Night Before Christmas
June Fever
Frances Williams in early spring
On Stage
Beckoning

I am changing Beckoning to Satisfaction. I went to my PB and looked my Beckoning leaf up, it's not the same :)

Ding ding ding .... we have our first bingo!

lili888 you id hosta just fine - lol. Congrats!

{{gwi:924587}}

Pick another row and try another guess.

Paul

Second row, horizontal:

Orange Marmalade(The leaf pic I have is in early spring but if I remember it correctly, OM changes color like yours in summer.)
Stained Glass
Elegans in deep shade
Rainbows End (from jennaj's guess)
Sun Power

Okay, here goes another guess for the 4th column starting from the top--Satisfaction, Rainbows End, Mountain Snow, On Stage, and Popcorn.

lila888 - 4 of 5 correct
jennaj - 4 of 5 correct - hint, I only use a hosta once on the board.

Paul

Fourth row down: Climax, Rainbows End, Mountain Snow, On Stage, and Popcorn

Fifth row down: Midwest Magic, Sun Power, Silk Komono, Satisfaction, American Halo (or Northern Halo)

Another bingo... way to go Don

4th row down is correct
{{gwi:924588}}

5th row 2 of 5 correct

Paul

Here is updated board so you don't have to go all the way to top.

Paul

One more try:

Orange Marmalade
Stained Glass
Bressingham Blue
Rainbow's End
Sun Power

Row C:

Whirlwind
Bessingham Blue
Free Space
Frances Williams
Kabitan

Short Diagonal Row D-Row 4

Climax
Bressingham Blue
Mango Tango
Night B4 Christmas

lila888

Row C 3 of 5 correct - C1 is a small hosta, finicky to grow for some. C5 is a SM hosta emerging early, fast growing, and may turn all green in summer.
Short diag all 4 correct

With Bressingham Blue you should know row 2

Paul

Anyone who wants to guess individual hosta leaves - go ahead.

lil888 - sorry I missed that you had guessed row 2 - all 5 correct.

Here is an updated board-
{{gwi:924590}}

Looks like row 1 needs some help -- A1 is a big leaved hosta that was a nominee; A2 glossy; A5 center is more chartreuse in spring and nearly all green in summer.

Paul

row e
gaucomole
sunpower
spring fling
satisfaction
american/northern halo/barbara ann/northern exposure

A1-Liberty?
C1-Loyalist

cg - 4 of 5 correct using Northern Exposure -- E1 was registered in 80's at AHS, but myhosta.be also notes origin to 60's; Zilis say cultivated in Netherlands since 1856.

lila888 both incorrect. Hervé would find C1 pleasing. A1 is a Zilis TC sport registered in the past 10 years.

Paul

This looks like fun!
Row 5:
Aliyah's Grace
Sum It Up
Lemon Lime
Popcorn
Northern Exposure

Let me try this again
Row 1:
Victory
Lakeside Masterpiece
Fantasy Island
Sunshine Glory
Potomac Glory

Thanks for joining toymr2mk2
Row 5 - 2 of 5 correct, but you're in the right direction with Sum It Up. A5, Zilis(The Hostapedia) lists as good substance, medium sized clump, and rare until a few years ago, registered in the 90's

Row 1 - 1 of 5 correct -- from early we know D1 is Climax. Good pickup on clue for fantasy island but not correct, there was a second part in the clue to lila888.

Anyone a guess on A3? It went for big bucks at a National Convention Auction and has a MN connection.

Paul

A3-Silk Kimono

Lila888 - Silk Kimono is correct - and references are to 2000 AHS Convention in Minnesota and to Hideko Gowen.

How about C5 leaf - here is pic of plant
{{gwi:924591}}

Paul

Ok...Try again:
Row 5:
Midas Touch
Eagles Nest
Chinese Sunrise
Popcorn
Northern Exposure

C5- If not Kabitan, then Green Eyes...Other remote possibilities are First Mate, Champagne, Cry Baby, Early Sunrise, Fancy Ripples, Fruehlingsgold and Fuji Sunrise. So that narrows it down a little, right???

toymr2mk2 - row 5 - yes to Chinese Sunrise so 3 of 5 correct.

don - sorry, but now I have to look your names other names - I am familiar with only 1 of these.

Home stretch these Leaves left to id - A1, B1, C1, E1, A5, and B5.

A1 - Zilis, XL, nominated and voted upon in this forum (Nov. I believe), patent applied for, not Liberty

B1 - Kuk, SM, glossy with good substance

C1 - Previous Clue - Hervé would find C1 pleasing. Fantasy Island was a guess but not correct.

E1 - ML Old hosta, Chartreuse center in spring changing to all green in summer, when all green similar to parent it sported from

A5 - Registered in 1993, parentage unkown, rare until a few years ago according to Zilis.

B5 - XL, Late 90's registration, One from a large family of sports - several nearly identical. Its parent is well known. 'Rose' and 'Jack' would remember this one

Paul

A1 - Victory
E1 - Ventricosa Aureomaculata

Thanks jen, both are correct.

Paul

B5-Titanic

C5-Twist of Lime
Another clue for C1, please.

O.k.,
Row e
Ventricosa Aureomaculata
Sunpower
Spring Fling
Satisfaction

lila888
B5 Titanic is correct
C5 is Chinese Sunrise ID'd above

CG
Row E is correct

-----------------------------
Leaves left to id - B1, C1, and A5.
-----------------------------
B1 - Kuk, S/M, glossy with good substance

C1 - 1997 registration. Previous Clues - Hervé would find C1 pleasing (Fantasy Island was a guess but not correct). A small hosta, finicky to grow for some.

A5 - Registered in 1993, parentage unkown, rare until a few years ago according to Zilis. Alright lil888 here's a Cryptic Clue - we're returning where water exists / Munster

I'll post complete key on Monday if not guessed before then, thanks for playing.

Paul
