#1 Bright yellow green with darker green margins.

#2 - the center one - dark green with large spike bloom buds.

#3. Very shiny dark green centers with cream margins.

#4 - Apple green centers with creamy white margins - large. I think that is sum and substance between the two to the right.

#5 Dark green leaf

#6 - Is this Honey Bells?

#7 Lime green center with dark margins

Thanks for your help.

I'd suggest #1 is Stained Glass (if it has fragrant flowers- smell in the late afternoon. There are other possibilities if it's not fragrant.)

I'd suggest the last one is Paul's Glory.

No, I don't think #6 is Honeybells. HB's leaves aren't round. Honeybells has strap shaped leaves. I'm in Texas, so mine don't get as big as some, but my Honeybells' leaves are about 7" long and 4" wide.

If you don't get much response, break them out with just two hosta per post. When you have a lot in a single post, the ones in the center often get no responses.

Take the suggestions and go to the hosta library and see if that looks like your hosta. Usually there are several photos, so you see how it grows in different environments.

Assuming this is Oncosiphon,some people asked for seeds and I would be glad to provide some but have no idea how to get seeds. I'm not a real gardener, just wanted to know the name of this plant that is all over the foothills north of Phoenix. So if someone could give me a few instructions re how to collect seeds I would be happy to send some off when they are ready. thanks Caroline (OP) Cave Creek AZ

The last 2 photos one may be a form of Echeveria Amoena. I've seen many different Amoenas and have one similar that gets really orange tip in heat. The next to last one may be Ice Green (echeveria). The other 2 (second and third) look like new hybrids, I'd try Filckr, search Echeveria with nievesgirl or manue64. You don;t have a perl von nurnberg here, they are all Echeveria for sure. They're beautiful!

4 might be Fragrant bouquet.

6 might be Royal Standard - if it's fragrant.

Thanks. I don't remember buying Queen Josephine, but if it's a perfect specimen, I'll take it. I also agree with Invincible. I'd studied that before I posted it and it looked like it. I know I have Honey Bells, but think I put in the wrong picture. Will try again.

Actually, I didn't mean to put in number 7. I know it is Paul's Glory.

Beth- At the HL, click on a letter of the alphabet, then scroll up and down to find the hosta you are looking for, then click on it. Tah Dah! You will see photos submitted by hundreds of people over the years. At the top of the page of the specific hosta you select, will be a link to more info collected from several sources at MyHostas.net. Database.

There is also the American Hosta Society Registry, which is searchable, to find the official registration info on a hosta.

Like Babka said, they are in alphabetical order, under each letter of the alphabet. For instance, Invincible is under the I's.

There are all kinds of things in the hosta library that are interesting. The pictures are all listed in the alphabetical section.

I don't think number 6 is Royal Standard. I have several large clumps and they are more upright that your number 6 appears to be. Maybe it is just the angle, but I don't think so.

I don't think the leaves are big enough for Royal Standard either. This has made a very wide clump. I divided this spring. When dormant, the center is bare. It's a beauty, just don't have a clue as to what it is.

I wonder if #6 is Fortunei Hyacinthina. Just a guess.

Thanks, Don. I checked out Fortunei Hyacinthia. Looks like the leaf of that plant have deeper ridges an cup more. These leave are smoother and are flatter.
