Let’s have a little fun.

7 years ago

I could not resist hosta hunting yesterday with everyone posting what they’ve found. I went To a well know nursery that I haven’t been to in years (far from the house). They were selling hostas in good sized pots 3 for $42. Then I went to a big box store Seeking a “Brandy” deal. Most of what they had, I already had, except Frances Williams for $7. I didn’t buy it because I am not sure I have the real estate for it. Now usually I ask for help to ID hostas I don’t know, but this time I want you to name what I purchased and give your opinion about going back buy the FW.

    agree with peren on #1..I love Krossa Regal..is #2 Snake Eyes?..I've read negative comments about Frances Williams..the leaves turn brown..so I wouldn't buy one if I were you..here's the funny part..I have one and I don't know where it is!..either it's disappeared or it must not be too ugly..I'm not aware of one that's an eyesore..

    Yes #1 is Krossa Regal. No #2 is not snake eye. I am sorry to say I did go back and buy FW I figure for $7 what have I got to lose? But I also found the very last So Sweet which was being talked about on another post today. Also a bargain! Thanks for trying. You try to guess again too!

    The one titled, "Second pic" looks like GE to me. I always seem to swoon over GE and I feel a swoon. :-)

    Well popmama, the swoon is correct, it is. Great Expectation. So the only unidentified one is the pic 3 between the other two hostas. I am interested to see if someone guesses it. I had never heard of it, so everyone please keep guessing!

    The middle pic looks like it could be American Hero or maybe Oreo Cream.

    My pic 3 guess is also American Hero...looks just like mine which also is showing the greener leaf.

    The only unnamed hosta is the twisted one. When I posted the pics did not upload correctly. Here’s the one to guess:

    That is what I said "could be American Hero or maybe Oreo Cream."

    Then mae also agreed that it looked like her American Hero.

    I wish I could say yes, but it’s not. Should I make another post asking for a guess. I think the title of this one did not draw as many guesses as I hoped for? Thanks to everyone who did guess.

    I know, I know!! it's Coloured Hulk.

    You are the winner of this game Mae! I suppose you should win a prize, but ..... I had never heard of this one, so how did you figure it out?

  • 7 years ago

    I just read your tag.

    LOL Mae! I read the tag, as well. Oops!

    Frances Williams is my oldest hosta and still gets brown edges even when it's almost hidden by a large magnolia. Knowing what I do now, I probably would not buy it. My Linda Sue also burns and has been moved twice to shady and shadier spots. I don't know if I would buy that one again either.

    How in the world dI’d you read the tag? I thought the only part that showed was “hosta”. I tried to be soooo careful when taking the pictures!! Duh!! I see when you enlarge the pic you can see Hulk. Well, this was fun, thanks for participating!

    Well Miles, for $7 I could not resist the FW. However given the feedback here, I will find a really good shady spot for it.
