i recall i had a few variations .... but apparently they were so uninspiring... that i never took a pic of any of them ... lol ...

you ask.. why would i have it then ... well.. because i wanted them all ...

the justification ... i was going to add species traits.. back into cultivars ... cross various species that normally wouldnt cross ... etc ...

the result ... see above re pix ... lol

ken

I don't see any pix. lol I wanted them all, as well. MUST HAVE ALL THE SPECIES. now i have no idea what i was going to do with them all. lol here is my hosta I"m trying to ID. it isn't lancifolia....it isn't red october (white leaf back)....maybe kikutii?????

Travels like clausa

Or maybe clausa var normalis?

clausa var clausa

flowers are incredible .. pink and purple

red neck heaven is a hybrid of kikutti. and kikutti is very dominant. most seedlings take its form.

but alas the flower would tell the story. its flower would look nothing like clausa.

also clausa is stoleniferous. older clumps tend to spread in large patches underground.

Beautiful Ken. Are used to have clausa I don’t know what happened to it. I don’t think this is it because of the red.

The red petioles are very prominent and it’s definitely stoloniferous. Makes me think it’s clausa var normalis.

I had capit-avis but the description doesn’t seem to match.

I had a Kikutii f. leuconota many years ago before digital cameras. It was unique to me because of the densely flowered white scapes that came out horizontally, rather than up. Long slender leaves with white backs. No red parts. I miss that plant!

Pieter - those are beautiful plants!!

It was indeed one of the first to come up in the spring. It looks like I'll have to be patient for the flowers. The petioles are VERY red but between this and kikutii, they seem to have a mind of their own!
