Linda and Carmellia - Large Light Green Hosta

20 years ago

I was just reading your posts in the exchanges and thought I'd run out and take some pictures of some that I have that could be the same as the one you guys are talking about.

I don't know why the big difference in the size, some of these pics are really large (I used the photobucket option to resize them and this is how they came out).

Sum and Substance

And I think yours is lighter then FGT but here are pics anyway.

Thanks!

Wow, I thought Sum & Substance was suppsed to be one of the larger hostas. Doesn't look so big from your phots. I got one this year, and it isn't much bigger than yours, I expected next year it would get bigger....oh well, live and learn.

It will get bigger Linda. I should have mentioned that my S&S was planted fall of 2004. In another 2-3 years, I think huge would be an adequate description :-) The Plantaginia was planted spring of 2005 but it was big.. my neighbor came over with this box about a foot and a half square and it was FULL of eyes. Green Fried Tomatoes went in spring of 2004.
