'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' and 'Love Pat' are great cuppers. I have ADG pic on my site if ya wanna peek.

Here is a link that might be useful: Rachels Hosta Site

Ditto! Both are blue and M to L in size if I remember correctly.

Nice website, Rachel, but the thumbnails won't open for me.

Thanks you Maryann....hmmm wonder why it's doing that. One thing to make sure when viewing thumbnails that you close any previous thumbs or any new one you try to open won't. Maybe that's what happened? Other than that I'm not sure, I'm not very puter savvy....perhaps someone else would have an idea why it could be doing that?

Not puter savvy here either, but clicking right on the picture opened it. I was clicking on the name, because it was underlined! lol.

Rachel, you have some great pics in there!! ;-)

Thanks, Rox. Now I right clicked on the thumbnail, then clicked again on 'Open New Window', finally pix enlarged. Seeing lots of good pictures in there, so this may take awhile.

Swell!! Enjoy Maryann! I did. ;-))

Thanks all, glad it's working for you now. I was getting worried there that there was a glitch. Glad you enjoyed a lil eye candy on a friday.

So Janet, did you get anymore info on 'cupped' hosta beauties? Surely there must be more out there with that habit? I'd be interested to know too.

This Drinkingl Gourd pic was taken shortly after I had moved it....it never skipped a beat and grew very large over the summer.

Are you sure you want those cupped leaves, Janet? They catch a lot of debris, you'll need to clean them with q-tips! A smaller version is Abiqua Trumpet . . .

Janet I love the round cupped leaves of Warwick Comet. Sorry, I don't have a pic with me today.

For a nice gold Solberg's Carolina Sunshine. It really pops in the landscape next to the big blue ones.

A blue Solberg I like is Nate the Great and Chastain blues are Lakeside Big Scoop with very round leaves and Lakeside Blue Jeans with more of a heart shaped leaf. Blue Mouse Ears is a mini/small that is outstanding.

I have Rosedale Spoons for a nice, upright cupped plant.

Becky

I have Rock and Roll here, and love it! For the same bang for your buck, Love Pat is great.
Zounds is a nice yellow cupped one.
Deep Blue Sea is my hands down favorite. It's smaller at maturity than the others, but you could always just buy them all....;-)

Well I haven't decided on one yet. Actually Love Pat has been on my list, but where I want to put it, it will get direct morning sun until afternoon. I didn't know how well Love Pat would be for that situation.
I also was considering Maui Buttercups.
I thought there might have been something else out there I didn't know about.

Phyllis your ADG looks great!

Maryann, of course I want one. Everyone needs at least one cupped one, don't they? ;-)
It won't be going under a tree, so that will help with the debris. I like the Abiqua Trumpet too. That reminds me of another green one I was thinking about, Tracy's Emerald Cup.

pim, I checked the HL for Warwick Comet. That's a beauty too. How will it do with some sun and how much room will it need?

highjack, I also looked at Carolina Sunshine in the HL, but it must not be the same one you're talking about?

Becky, is Rosedale Spoons a mini? Or does it just look that wat at HL? I like upright, then I might have room for something below it ;-)

rox, Deep Blue Sea is beautiful, but again, I wonder how it would do with the sun.

Keep the ideas and comments comming and I'll be sure to let you all know what I finally decide. It's supposed to warm up FINALLY and the nurseries will be going in full swing soon. YAY!

Janet

You might like Aspen Gold. Mine is going into its 4th year, should start cupping nicely.

I love Carol's picture of Tracy's Emerald Cup at HL.

Janet my Warwick Comet was only in my garden last year, so I don't know final mature size. It is very vigorous, there was no set back once I planted it, it increased quite nicely. Mine gets an hour or so of late morning sun. The leaves are of thick substance and I noted no slug damage. I don't think this plant needs nay coddling. The price seems to be coming down a bit on this one too, which is a good thing.

How about Midas Touch or Super Bowl for nice yellow/Golds?

I vote for Love Pat, here is mine:
