Clovelly and Dancing Queen were on my list too, but I've ordered them from Naylor's already. So I'm chosing 5 more 'quests' - lol
Jurassic Park
Chinese Dragon Supreme
Pin Stripe Sister
Maya Tritone
Achy Breaky Heart

Pam

As I'm just starting out, keeping it to 5 is quite hard as I'd love to have all of them. LOL! But here's a list for now

Blue Mouse Ears**
Pandoras Box**
Cherish
Cameo
Avocado
Holy Mole
Hot Green Chilies
Salsa
Tortilla Chip
Revolution
June
Spilt Milk

And there's many more

Sabrina

Well, my wishlist is rather long, I will probably have to let some older plants 'go' in order to be able to give all of them a place in my small garden

I have some collectors plants on order
*'Lemon Ice', a stunning yellow sport from Halcyon
*Galaxy
*Doug's Gift
*Katana
*'Breeders Love', a streaked Love Pat

Some other plants I will be adding
*'Eskimo Pie' in favor of 'Christmas Candy'
*'Purple Haze'
*'Faith', or another yellow with rounded leaves and lots of puckering
*'Jaws'
*'Sahara Nights'
*'Small Parts'
*'Little Red Joy'
*'Frosted June'
*'Country Mouse'

Other plants that I've seen but plants that probably won't be available in 2008, so waiting for 2009
*a streaked 'Spilt Milk'
*a stunning 'Kiwi Full Monthy' sport

I didn't see any announcements for the new Mouse Ears sports, so those will probably wait until 2009
*Frosted Mouse Ears
*Royal Mouse Ears
*Holy Mouse Ears

QandZ is offering Holy Mouse Ears and Frosted Mouse Ears. Shady Oaks is offering Cat and Mouse.
Pam

Sabrina, do I see a theme here? LOL
"Avocado
Holy Mole
Hot Green Chilies
Salsa
Tortilla Chip"
Maybe you were hungry when you made this list!

And sugarman, how about a picture of Lemon Ice?

I would like to finish my quest to get the top 100 favs that were listed here last spring. So hopefully I will have some of my babies big enough to do some trading this spring. I think I have about 50 to go there :)hmmmm

Newer ones I absolutely love
Dancing Queen
Empress Wu
Fox Fire Bamm Bamm
Hack Saw
Waukon Thin Ice

Older ones I really want this year

Jade Cascade
Lady Isobel Barnet
Niagara Falls
Pynophlla
Potomac Pride
Queen of Islip
Ruffled Queen
& any mouse hostas & any thing w/ large blue leaves !! oops now I need to make more gardens..........dream on Dot...

I only have 4 on my 2008 wish list. I have to re-evaluate my beds this year. I'm thinking of having a hosta yard sale of ones that no longer excite me to make room for my giants and new ones that DO excite me.

- PLEASE stop me if I'm wishing for a "dud"...

War Paint
Atlantis
Little Jay
Stitch in Time

Char

Sabrina, you can probably take a couple off the wish list. Since Avocado, Holy Mole, and Hot Green Chilies are all the same wide margined sport of Guacamole you probably only need one of them. That will save you some money to get others and avoid duplicates of the same plant with just a different name ;)

moongirl54 - You are correct I was going for the mexican food theme as I already have guacamole and have frozen margarita on order.

ctopher_mi - thanks for the info I do have guacamole so more money for other hostas it is :)

Pam, thank you for the tip... they are ordered already, just need to wait some more for Royal Mouse Ears (the nicest one if you ask me)

supermasj

Since Royal Mouse Ears is streaked, it will probably be more difficult TC.
Pam

I'm aware of that Pam, but I still want it.

Looking at the homepage of naturesreign, it should be available spring 2008 as well... we'll see

sugar

Bab Sugar, Bad, bad, bad! I just wrote them to check out the price - lol
Pam

Last summer I only bought 3 which are duplicates: El Nino, Liberty and Thunderbolt.

My Wish List for 2008
Cathedral Windows
Tick Tock
Grand Slam
Key Lime Pie
Xanadu Snow
Candy Dish
Holly's Velvet Piecrust

Papou

So far these six interest me...The top five are for breeding.

Totally Twisted
Marilyn Monroe
Artic Blast
Jaws
Purple Haze
Hollywood Lights

Cheers,
Kent

They are going to be listing them on ebay for auction in the spring. You can't just order plants. :( Bummer cause I'll never remember to watch for auctions.
Pam

Jaws
Great Escape
Sahara Nights
The RazorÂs Edge
Totally Twisted
Clovelly
Arctic Blast
Candy Dish
Lizard Lick

...to start...

Lizard Lick???

I don't know this hosta...who's is it? I love the name.

Kent

Josh, I like that 'to start' - lol
Now, where do I find a pic of Lizard Lick?

That 'Lizard Lick' sounds interesting.

My list for '08:
Adrian's Glory
Arctic Blast
Calamity Jane
Fruit Punch
Niko.

A start to a future list:
Glad Rags.

John

Hey, this is fun, to see what everyone else is lusting after. I'm but a piker when it comes to the world of Hostas and that makes it all the more difficult to focus on what are the next MUST HAVE's.

I have a long list of Hostas I'd like to trade for whenever possible, but on that list are quite a few that I don't expect to find as trade material as yet, particularly North of the 49th parallel. Having said that, these are probably the next 5 or so I'd like to purchase:

Frosted Mouse Ears
Holy Mouse Ears
Lederhosen
Hi Ho Silver
Permanent Wave

and there a slew of more common ones I'd like to see if I can acquire through trades.....and I know it's early to start thinking about that now, but, you gotta prime the pump so to speak. So, if there's any Canucks out there in a trading frame of mind.....let me know who you are.

Here is a link that might be useful: My trades wanted list....and more

ÂLizard Lick (Franks 2007) (ÂPineapple Poll seedling) - Small, (12" X18") This fast growing, spiky mound has long, narrow green leaves with good substance. Slightly bigger than a mini, it is tough enough to flourish in the garden with the "big boys". Lavender flowers in July and August.

Pam,

are you speaking about the Royal Mouse Ears? The two other plants should be available by regular trade...

sugar

Yes, just RME. I already ordered the others.
Pam

Allnitro got the description. Green Hill has the plant...there is a picture on their website.

Here is a link that might be useful: Green Hill

Already ordered:

Clovelly
Daisy Doolittle
Franchesca
Made You Look

If space wasn't an issue, my wish list would be:

Lady Isobel Barnett
Rufus Rider
Fukibotan
Venus
Beckoning
Frosted Jade

Ones that I might pick up in 2008

Lakeside Shoremaster
Manhattan
Marilyn Monroe
Rainbow's End
Sweet Innocence

Papou, I have a few on your list, if you want to drop by in the spring.

Maureen,
That's a deal! I will go to Ottawa in late May 2008 and will bring for you a division of Manhattan, Lakeside Shore Master, and Frosted Jade. At that time, we'll see what you have for me.

Happy New Year, everybody~~~

Papou

After much re-evaluation of a loooong wish list, here are my top five...however, I'm having trouble finding a supplier for Nor'easter...

Empress Wu
Hyuga Urajiro
Made You Look
Miss Tokyo
Mississippi Delta
Nor' easter

and a few more I plan to order shortly ...

Cat and Mouse
Center of Attention
Clearfork River Valley
Clovelly
Maya Swingtime
Neptune
Rainbows End
Rosedale Dough Boy
Sunshine Glory
Tom Schmid

Nor' easter is a new release from Shady Oaks. Any you find for sale this year will probably be first year TC's. Most nurseries grow them on for at least a year before selling them to the public.

pietertje - I just noticed you want to trade. I have always felt very excluded about trades being on "this" side of the border. Maybe it really would be possible. I'm in the interior of BC, midway between Vancouver and Calgary on the trans Canada Highway. I noticed on your list you want permanent wave. I'm going to be moving mine this year because it's getting too big for where it is. I can divide it a bit at that time. Write me at Myrlet@telus.net and maybe we can arrange something. McTavish (Myrle)

Well hears my five Hostas worth, but its only the 3rd of January so by the growing season there will be more
King Tut
Emerald Rough Cut
Gunthers Prize
Theo's Blue
Deans Dream
Beckoning

Bob

Here are five on my want list:

Grand Slam, Unforgettable, War Paint, Blue Hawaii, Hanky Panky.

Well, I try to avoid reading those wish lists, since they tend to make my own wish list longer.
As I try to restrict myself to solid colored hostas, and some streakers for breeding purposes,
this is what I have ordered so far:

Arctic Blast
Barbara May
Cherry Tart
Chishima Iwa
Clovelly
Empress Wu
Fluted Fountain
Fujibotan
Glorious
Hacksaw
Hyuga Urajiro
Marrakech
Neptune
Maya Swingtime
Montana ÂGinreiÂ
Purple Boots
Purple Haze
Red Dragon
Ruffed Up
Sahara Nights
The RazorÂs Edge
Totally Twisted

I'm also always looking for species or any plant collected in the wild I don't have yet.

Love from the Hosta Mill,

Rob

I really hadn't planned to buy anything this year since I have so many to move and I am about out of space until I create new beds. I started a new bed last year that I had dreams of buying all sorts of new hostas for, then I realized that all the space will be taken up because I have so many that are overcrowded and need to be moved. Why did I buy so many huge ones?!?!?! LOL!

Anyway - after reading the lists above, there are a few that must find their way to my garden this year. In no particular order -

Clovelly
Lizard Lick
Eskimo Pie
Marilyn Monroe

Hostabuff- Hilltop Farms will have Noreaster available in May or June.

Somebody said Green Hill had Royal Mouse Ears on their site, but I didn't see it???

Deanna

Izzy

You're on for end of May, Papou. I was thinking that might be too early. But I have to dig out all my plants around the house because the foundation needs work.

Welcome, Izzy. I have Frosted Dimples and Gypsy Rose. Will have to see in the spring if they can be divided.

Already ordered:

Clovelly
Empress Wu
Red Hot Poker
Aliyah's Grace
Niagara Falls (to replace one I lost)

Glad Rags, saw one in person last year and I really liked it, but I've spent too much money already on hostas.

Fenceberry,
Nice to have you back! I hope that all is well with you!

Denny

Thanks, Denny. It's good to be back, it's been a rough couple of years but there is light at the end of the tunnel. And I think I see some hostas growing there also!
