Probably 'Satisfaction'! It ALWAYS makes me smile!

Good luck with keeping us down to just 'one'!!! ;^)

It Is a beauty!

June. Hands down.

Parhelion - big & bold. First year in my garden. The white edges are holding up well for being in afternoon sun.

Since Melissa already voted for June, I'll have to say Paul's Glory. But If I can only have that one, I want lots of them!

Sorry the pic is so small, it is from 2 years ago and I wasn't uploading to Photobucket correctly. It has become a monster since then. I haven't taken many pictures this year, too busy trying to keep them alive!

Nucci: "If you could only have one......?" is a question without an answer like "what is the square root of 2?".

(I wonder if THAT will have some of you scratching your heads!) That would be a great hosta name H. 'Square-root of Two' (LOL2MS)

I agree with Melissa--'June' has always been a favorite of mine and I thought to say it instead, BUT my very first thought was 'Satisfaction' so I went with that one!!

Gesila, that is one of the best margined 'Parhelion's I've ever seen. It almost looks like one of ken's favorites, 'Winter Snow', except, I believe WS is more rippled along the edges, BUT, maybe that's because yours is still young! Whatever--your plant is outstanding!

I, too, would vote June. And I'd have lots of them in different amounts of light so it would seem as if I had 10 different hostas. I love pointing out to visitors that June in deep shade looks quite different than June in moderate sun or June in much sun. Nance

tomahawkclaim, is it better in deep shade?

As much as I love my Parhelion,Paradise Power always catches my eye! Take a look. Phil

It's just a green hosta most of the year, but in July it's wonderful! I vote for Fuji Botan. I love love love the double flowers. My other choice would be another green hosta--plantaganea with it's huge wonderful white fragrant lily-like flowers.

There is no such thing as ONE hosta!

It's only a game rosie. Can't choose one?

Samual Blue

Frank,

Has it occurred to you that that may be the biggest Samual Blue in existence?

Three views of June. You have to decide which you like. Here June in morning sun looking for all the world like Remember Me:

June in Light sun

June in deep shade

Hosta are(is?) an obsession. That being said , if I have to pick one it would be Journey's End, no June, no Parhelion, no,if I could pick one, I wouldn't have so many. Every time I think I am done,, I find another and another "must have".

tomahawkclaim, Ijust ordered three divisions of June. You and a few others convinced me.

ONE???? Just one?? *thud*

Good choice nucci!! Post the pix when you can! :o)

Do you hear me chortling, "I'm an enabler, I'm an enabler!" Nance

Hahaha at woodthrust!!!!

I would have to pick my Blue Angel. (However, this is only answered in the fantasy world of just ONE hosta!) I would pick one, right after the other ;)

Cricket!

"if I could pick one, I wouldn't have so many"--great line, Rosie!!

My garden is so new, I'm hardly qualified to participate, but for now, the one that makes me smile the most is Deep Blue Sea. Love those corrugated and cupped leaves!!

I think my next "favorite one" would be Great Escape, if I could find one.
