I checked my lable on this one, I have it as Siloam Ury Winnifred. NOT! I wonder if it can be the weather though. I purchased it last year from a local grower, it was blooming at the time & I looked it up online. It seemed to be correct then. I actually like the color better this year. Looking at it and everything on Roswitha sounds & looks correct. The picture looks right for Forty Second Street, but according to the site I looked at Forty Second St is over 3", this is a bit smaller. However, it really did look like Ury last year, so I think this is probably correct... Sure doesn't look the same though. The grower sold me a small clump, & it almost died out in the heat last year. I wonder if there was a root of another daylily & Ury died out?

Thanks all for the nice comments- I agree Masquerade looks to be Ani Machi/Geisha. Picked it up a local gardeners club sale - just tagged wrong I would guess, since I know the gardener and they are very savvy about hostas. Peppermint Ice was ordered last year from Northern Grown Perennials (WI) and as you can see below, a lot of change in 1 year. Pics on HL show white center, so expect that to come later in season. Leaves are not very glossy so far this season, though pic below from August last year shows some gloss. I have it planted in part to bright shade - so no direct sun. Orange Marmalade had some nice leaf color variations - I think it'll get planted in a fairly bright spot. Paul

Is h. 'Zitronenfalter' available at retail, do you know? I like the shape, the leaf shape, and the unusual color and I had never heard of it before. My collector-neighbor has a lot of hostas from the 1970s and 1980s that aren't so popular any more. He is retiring in January, so next summer we are going to make a photo archive and map his hostas. I'll have to put that name on my 'shopping' list! That tall unnamed seedling looks an awful lot like the weed plantain that's always trying to creep in from a messy yard next door, gone giant (shudder at the thought).

I am in Columbia, SC (Irmo area). Got bit by the bug in 2013. It;s gotten so bad I am also the webmaster for the Dixie Hosta Society (dixiehosta.net) and I am creating a few hosta website. One to help locate hosta (FindMyHosta.com) and one that I hope will help people identify which hosta they have (IDmyHosta.com). Have really enjoyed the time I have spent planting and watching them grow. Never had much of a green thumb but they seem to survive despite me.
