Hollywood Lights
Pam

The first one that came to mind was Hollywood Lights, the other is Jack of Diamonds. Both I have seen available online, but cannot remember where.

Jack looks like a sweetheart. Such an all-around good breed too. He is lucky to have you!

Pam, Smorz, those are terrific! Thanks! I can track them down.

Smorz, I'm lucky to have him. I love German Shorthairs and though I'm trying not to, I love Jack. He's an absolute angel who lost the only daddy he's ever known in a very difficult family crisis. (The poor man had no choice at all.) We're trying to make it up to him in the time he has left; probably about three months.

So I looked your suggestions up at the Hosta Library:

Hollywood Lights shiny?

Jack of Diamonds Oooh!

Jackpot (a yellow/chartreuse)

I also took a look at 'Jack Blue' (a rumpled gray-blue) and 'Jack in the Beanstalk,' a Krossa-type. I already have two nice Krossa Regals, though. Hmm, but having a green one to put with the two blue ones... hmmm!

He Lisa you dog nut!

Here's H.'Jack of Diamonds one of my favorites

Sorry about your doggy,that is so sad, he is lucky to have you.
How about--Jack Frost?

Just remembered...the two I mentioned are available from Foxfire Botanical in Wisconsin. They are awesome!

Here is a link that might be useful: Foxfire

That wasn't nice smorz...you made me go to their website, which I had never heard of, & I had to get Foxfire Bamm Bamm & Foxfire Divine Winds...you guys are no help to us hosta addicts!!! When my wife finds out that I have 10 more hosta on the way, she's gonna flip! (sigh) ;-)

I got Bamm Bamm last year and it reverted immediately to a solid green. :(

LoL Luis :)
I was supposed to go to Foxfire tomorrow but my lil guy isn't feeling well. I most likely wont go for a few weeks now. Buying Bamm Bamm and Irish Moon are the main reason for the visit. Divine WInds makes my heart flutter but is out of budget this year. I will take pictures to share with everyone when I get back.
I have heard others say Bamm Bamm has gone green, but I cannot resist.
Sorry to hijack your post Lisa... keep us updated!

Carol-Just1More, thanks for the Jack Frost idea!

Luis, Smorz, don't worry about hijacking. Always fun to visit new vendors and drool on their stock.

Butch-EO, great photo, thanks!

Why don't you get an unnamed seedling and name it Jack Hollywood? Then you would be reminded of Jack everytime you see the plant. There are plenty of hostas out there named for dogs, and I think it's a nice memorial to a furry four foot who's been important in your life. If you don't have any seedlings of your own, I would be happy to send you one of mine.

I do rescue work as well, mostly with long coated Chihuahuas and Pomeranians. I currently have a seedling named after my beloved Brio, a lc Chihuahua rescue who passed away last fall at the age of 19 1/2. His constant companion Brigitta is still going strong at 20, and she loves to go out in the garden and romp along the paths in the garden.

Oh, a seedling! Yikes... I've had rotten luck with seedlings and small sports. However, I have a lot of seed this year so maybe I ought try again. Thank you for the idea.

Chihuahuas... their longevity is a real reason to admire the breed, unlike Great Danes, where you get your heart broken every seven years. My breed, the German shorthaired pointers, generally make it to 12 and not to 14, though I knew one gentleman, Printz, who stayed until he was sixteen.

Brio is a great name.
