I hate to admit this, but mine is Great Expectations.

When I first started my garden 20 years ago, it was one of my first hosta. It did really well, and got so big I needed to move it. I am guessing it was 8-10 years old. I moved it, and that was the end of that. I didn't realize it was difficult until then.

I finally decided to try again....

I added Bridal Falls this spring also! May they both be glorious next season.... Also added a Sagae, my first one. I thought about Hostafreak when I saw it at the nursery and it came home with me, I hope it's great too.

Hard to choose just one since I acquired quite a few new ones this year. I am looking forward to seeing all of them mature. But I suppose if I had to choose , it would be either the mini Twist of Lime or Whirlwind.

I lost my Bridal Falls, and so far whenever I've lost one, I never replace it with the same one again. But pictures like yours sure make it tempting to try again.

It's hard to pick a #1, but Blue Ivory comes to mind. It was starting to look pretty good, and then a couple of years ago I had to move it. It's sulked since then. So I hope that by next year it will start looking as good as it did before I moved it.

Toss up between Sagae and Sheila Macqueen. I'll go with Sagae, I have been trying since 2007. It has been cut down by rabbits at least 3 times and the original plant never seems to recover. I bought a replacement (only duplicate I've ever bought on purpose) in 2013 and seems to be doing quite well. I have it in a pot and not sure if I should up pot it next year. Hope it has a third year leap.

Sheila Macqueen is another story for another day.

Liberty! Again : )

Old Dirt - I had to look up Sheila Macqueen because I'm wasn't familiar with it. Nice looking plant with pretty flowers when in bloom. I hope you enjoyed your trips this summer.

For me, it is Coast to Coast. Those big yellows do something to me.

I like big hostas, so I would like that 'Millenium' even gets much bigger. Here it is in June 15 of this year :

Upper left corner on this picture is a young 'Elatior', did put another one next to it. That pair next year might start to look good.

DelewareDonna, I bought Sheila Macqueen last year for the name. It came as a solid green and actually looks more like Hyacinthina (will know more as it matures). The supplier replaced it this year and I think is correct. It is supposed to be a glossy streaker with great substance. Hopefully it is as beautiful as its namesake (to me). I got it mid summer so it hasn't done much yet but is healthy.

My travels were fantastic this summer and hope for a couple more minis before the snow flies. My DW did a great job of keeping my hostas watered for almost 3 weeks and when we were gone together, the rains came through.

I'm looking forward to seeing what my Dream Weaver is going to do next year.

I'm going to say Liberty as well. Mine languished under a hawthorn tree for years - finally decided to move it when I expanded the hosta bed in the front yard this summer. I had intended to move the whole plant but one eye decided to stay behind. The part that I moved really took off compared to the one in its old spot. I always wondered if I had bought a mislabeled plant because it didn't look like most of the pictures of Liberty I've seen here, however, it looks very similar to josephine's first picture upthread.

My Great Expectations is five years old and doesn't get all that large because it gets shaded by a shrub...I've heard it's hard to grow, so I think I'll just leave it where it's happy.

Risky Business. It did well for year one and am hoping for good things in 2016.

very nice santa … think it is a striptease mutation .. but superb!
