whether the pix convince you of shininess .... leaf shape is not similar at all ... ken

Ok...so neither is Elatior...correct? What about Arch Duke? Either of them?

Second hosta def isn't shiny. First one I posted might be kind of shiny. lol not like a new diamond but almost ventricosa shiny. these two are making me mad. i can't get them ID'd!!!!! WHERE IS MY ARCH DUKE??? lol it was OS from Bob Kuk and I don't know if it is bringing in the SHEEP lol or if it is in the yard. freaking hostas.

hard to tell from my pix... but its lighter green than yours... sorta see it in my third pic... and you will definitively see it in most of the library pix ...

i know i had arch duke.. but i never took a pic of it... that i can find anyway ... library.. myhosta.. says white backs.. that ought to be a big clue ... some weird cross with hypoleuca ... from my friend ran lydell ....

Lydell hybridized some cool stuff! Looks white to me?

This has to be Elatior. It’s huge and makes babies on long scapes!

i see no puckering in my pix above ... the pic above has puckering ...

whats your fixation with babies.. this afternoon ... lol ...

Lol there is no remarkable pucker. What is this thing!? I am reclaiming my yard after four years of not being able to do anything. I decided I didn’t care what the name of anything was… And then I realized I was lying to myself. Completely obsessed with figuring everything out again ha ha Ha

Ps Chris from soules is going to pay a visit and help. Just trying to do as much as I can

Maybe it’s Immense

And then I realized I was lying to myself. Completely obsessed with figuring everything out again ha ha Ha

==>>> wait.. what .... are you using 2 IDs here ... youre not monument circle andrea are you ???

ken

ps: rotflmbo about the quote above.. i dont know any hosta peeps who are obsessed ..

haha YES...i'm the same andrea who has MC!!! I'm back from the dead. let's party, ken!

how am i using two IDs? am i showing up as two different posters? i've always been ademink (they split my name up. annoying)

Ok...I think I just fixed it. split personality: FIXED. lol (i'm just posting a lot in sequence. as if i'm chatting. everything is too slow. lol)

ken...my babymaker is Immense.

I found an old hosta list and I bought it. lol Hosta library says nothing about it being fertile...just that it "would make a good breeder". INDEED. should've named it Immense Rabbit. lol

so the first one is Immense and the second one is Arch Duke. DONE.

how am i using two IDs?

==>>> i was observing how a simple space between the A the the rest ... threw ME off ...

and mean the hosta Immense ... rather than using the word as a descriptor ... lol

ken

hahaha i'm glad we solved this mystery of both the hosta and my jacked up name!

do you own hosta 'Immense'?

i think i had it.. but it never inspired me to take and label a pic of it ... ken
