    Most of my hosta's have been purchased at plant sales and over Kijiji. So a lot of them came with out the actual names. I am creatinga garden book that has a picture of all my plants, thier names, and the location in the yard. If anyone has a great knowledge in Hosta's I have a number that I have to fiqure out... LOL
    I would appreciate any help given ... thanks
    picture 1 and 2 are the same hosta .. just a leaf close up

    There are now hundreds , if not thousands of Hostas. Every year new ones are introduced. So it is extremely difficult if not impossible to give an accurate id. The colour of the flowers, height etc etc are all part of the calculation.

    1. and 2. MAY be Hosta montana Auroemarginata. There again it might not be!

    3. MAY be Hosta Zounds. Ditto above.
