Phil,

I think you are right about Blue Angel, but I am going to keep it as a NOID since it didn't come with a name.

Looking forward to seeing your Hostas coming up in February!

The Fall of 2003 I discovered there were different kinds of Hostas. During the Winter I ordered lots of Hostas and one place I ordered from was Bridgewood Gardens. They had a special where the Hostas were cheaper if you bought three or more of each Hosta. Paradigm was one of the Hostas purchased during this special. The large one in the photos was unsplit and gets a lot of Sun. The others were split. There are four Paradigms in a row by Brother Stefan. It is interesting, two of the Paradigms look almost identical to Brother Stefan and two of the Paradigms are lighter in color. Three of the four Paradigms 7/17/09 The Paradigm, on the lower right, is lighter in color from the other two Paradigms in the photo. Brother Stefan is to the left of the top Paradigm. Maybe we can get through February/August with more photos. Will be anxiously waiting for Mc-T's photos. Here is some color so everything isn't just green. These are all from 7/27/09. Daylily 'Black Plush' Daylily 'Canadian Border Patrol' Daylily 'Chestnut Mountain' Daylily 'Ebony Jewel' Daylily 'El Bandito' Daylily 'Exotic Treasure' Daylily 'Eye on America' Daylily 'Licorice Candy' Daylily 'Naturally Naughty' Daylily 'Peach Magnolia' Daylily 'Rock Solid' Daylily 'Shirley's Pick' Daylily 'Spacecoast Bold Scheme' Daylily 'Spacecoast Gator Eye' Daylily 'Touch of Royalty'

McT, There is hardly any difference between the two. If you look at the Holy Mole photo you can see quite a bit of Avocado on the right side (The Avocado photo also has some of Holy Mole) and the leaves of Holy Mole look a little bit darker. If they weren't right next to each other a person would be hard pressed to know the difference. Most of the Sun they get is coming from the bottom left in the photos and it isn't much direct Sun as it is coming from between some Pine trees. Both plants have cool names. Cowboy

Cowboy, could that 'June' you show in fact be a 'Touch of Class', seems to me the medio-variegation is on the narrow side for 'June'. My guess is you grow this one in mostly shade, correct?

This one doesn't get much direct sun but is does get a lot of light. There were two Junes but the June on the right was moved as they filled in.

The Hostalibrary says there is debate about whether there are two June sports being sold. I thought that for a while but I think June just changes so much depending on the season, light conditions and age of the plant. Check out Hank Zumach's June in the Hostalibrary.

June was purchased in 2004 and was split into two plants before planting.

Here they are in 2005 & 2006.
