Hosta ID's #2

13 years ago

Looking to ID several groups of hostas. Tags are gone and so is my mind after several hard years. :)
Some possibilities for some of the the ones I'll be listing that are more unusual are below. Not an exhaustive list...I just know that some of these I've planted in this bed are from these orders. I also did a fairly big order from Foxfire Nursery but can't find the list....just going by memory. NICE. lol

(KukÃ¢ÂÂs Forest)
Lucille
Unforgettable
Phantom
Arch Duke OS
Photo Finish
Prairie Fire
Skyrocket

(Hills Gardens of Maine)
Abby
Glory
Nakaiana
On Stage
HillÃ¢ÂÂs Sporty
Mississippi Delta
Sea Lotus Leaf

(Foxfire Nursery)
Foxfire Bamm Bamm
Mt Everest
Majesty
montana Kinkaku

#2 (Reaaaally close to sure this is 'Small Sum'

#3 (T. Rex?)

Paul...I do own Beckoning (Didn't want to put my entire list on here or ppl would pass out ROFL).

It does look a lot like it but the vein count on Beckoning is 16 and I think this one is 12. Hmm...

That last one does look like Beckoning. The vein count won't match until it is completely mature (which is why I think they should go with vein spacing to leaf width instead of the count).

do you think #3 could be Arch Duke?

#1 looks like it might be Glory

HIiiiiiiiiiiii Chris! :)

Ok...I'll settle on Beckoning then.

Don't slap me for my vein counts...rofl...but #3 is 16 and Archduke is 10-12. Do I just need to ignore that completely then? The plant in the photo is pretty tall and approx 6 years old I think...?

Glory looks like a good match. The pics on the Library look like a more rounded leaf but the leaf tips look a lot like it
