Sorry for the weird formatting, it was a cut/paste job from Excel....

Holy Hosta, you two! You've got a lot of digging to do!

No Hostas ordered so far. Just some Hosta companions, roses and other sunbed flowers.

Nice list Mikgag! I only have 3 of them. Where did you order them from?

Hosta Choice

Riverbend

Fundy Beauties

And I always pre-dig my holes the year before, so technically I'm ready to go....

Nice! lol I am not that organized!

Wow....pre-digging! You are on it, mikgag!

Oh, and I forgot...I DO have one Hosta ordered so far ~ Titanic.

I have these in my "cart" have not pressed go yet.

Alex Summers

Komodo Dragon

Winter Snow

Queen of the Seas

Regal Splendor

Sagae - the one I have is not doin well so a replacment

Spartacus

Moonlight Sonata

Mikgag, I have previously orders from both Hosta Choice and Fundy Beauties and have got excellent plants from both places . Never tried Riverbend but something to look into even with no room for more( as if that ever stopped me before) Such nice size healthy plants and packaged to travel from right across Canada and all in healthy shape to boot!

I have purchased online from Hosta Choice for the past three years - and will do so again! From my experience, and from the plants I've seen purchased online, Glenn offers some really good sized hostas. It's just a shame that I can't visit his hosta oasis in person. I'm sure the time would fly. BC is certainly a beautiful province, but the residents of Ontario definitely hold a nap hand when it comes to "The Choice" of suppliers!

BC

PS. I too, can vouch for the careful packaging that goes into each order.

I'm also waiting to press the button on this list.

I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for exchange rates between the pound and euro to work in my favour. ( seems unlikely! )

Maybe I'm being healed of this addiction! I haven't ordered anything yet.

Sparkler, Remember Me, and Center of Attention. can't wait! :)

I haven't ordered any hosta but I know I'll come back from St. Louis with a box full.

Gee, no room for any more hostas or heucheras. But, as I was cleaning up some dead vegetation today before it started pouring, I accidentally pulled up some dianthus that had been acting as a perennial for about 5 years now. I'm thinking I'd like to replace those half-dozen dianthus with a different variety of dianthus. The old one was white with a magenta circle between the edge of the petals and the center. Does anyone have a suggestion for a really pretty dianthus I can put in (after May 10!) to replace those I yanked? My iris is already starting to poke up above the soil, my heuchera are just playing dead, and the perennial salvia is just waiting for enough warm days to pop out. And, to my great surprise, my Angelina sedum is still spring green. Is that weird, or what?

Fire Island

Fragrant Bouquet

Guardian Angel

June

Squash Casserole

And maybe more - I just got Bridgewood Gardens email about the pot luck special.... I may order more. lol

Haven't ordered a thing yet. Angel Falls and Silver Medallion are the only things on the to-buy list. I'm just getting plants I can't live without. The huge water bills and 3-6 hours a day working in the garden are getting to be too much - never have time to actually enjoy it!

Of course, once I visit the nurseries, SOMETHING will jump in the cart.

Gotta love the jumpers!

After seeing mctavish's Frosted Jade on the Giant's thread I just had to have one!

Consider it ordered.

I have also just put an order in for 3 streaked breeders.

Pin Stripe Sister

Valley's Top

Kiyosumiensis Seiryu - hope I've got the spelling right! It's also written with the names the other way round.

Anyway, looking forward to these arriving in May.

Dave

Still trying to work my list down to an affordable and reasonable amount. Actually just affordable, I usually throw reason to the wind.

I don't know where I can put them but I ordered:

Amalia, First Blush, Flemish Sky, Milkmaid, Colored Hulk and Eros.

Sandy soil, I've discovered that since I don't have room for all my 160+ hostas in the ground, it is no problem for me to accumulate more because they can be grown in pots just as well! Lol. I can move them around at will and tuck them in here and there...making them look like they are planted. This is my third year overwintering several potted hostas.

I haven't officially ordered anything (have not experienced "mail-order" yet) but these are my Top Gun Triple Winners for 2016 and will be picked up this year:

Dancing Queen

Pistache

War Paint

and Curly Fries (HOTY 2016)

Dancing Queen is lovely and Pistache is on my "still want " list!

Josephine, you are so fortunate to be able to do orders in Ontario and not have to wait for them come clear across the country in the mail. Hosta Choice and Finday Beauties both were great to order from. The sizes large and packaged well. Love love the War Paint and I haven't ordered this season( yet)

Faye, I agree to count myself so fortunate! It simply is a thrill to hand-pick my own hostas and it seems that my part of Ontario is teeming with nurseries ... all within a 3-4 hour drive radius and home businesses that deal exclusively with hostas. However, it is more difficult to restrain oneself when one can touch them, lol.

briantanyaquinn, I keep redoing my want list...almost monthly. When it gets absurdedly long, I just start all over again, lol.

Mine always seems to be "absurdedly long". It seems as though I buy some off the list and add twice as many more! lol As my husband would say...they are cheaper than sheep, goats and chickens! (My other loves)

Josephine, I've been considering putting hostas in pots. Since you and others on the forum have had success, that would be a solution to the lack of planting space. Thanks for the nudge!

Sheila

I did order Squash Casserole and Sweet Home Chicago. They're going in the garden at my office.

I have to dig up three big and two mini hostas this weekend because the power company needs to change the anchor to a pole right into the middle of an established hosta bed. And I still have five in the hospital bed that are looking for forever homes. My spring is spoken for. I'm planning a big fall order.

Kathy

I've bought for hosta choice (that's where I got hooked!) but also from Lynne and Art at Shades of Green in Aylmer, Pat at Fundy Beauties I noticed Riverbend, and I have a few from them as well.

no list yet, but I am closing in on some I want.

I got a Frosted Jade in 2014 but it didn't come up last spring. I plan to get another, for sure. It's an oldie, and it's amazing.

I am full. Last summer I realized that I did not have enough room for what I had and the time to keep up. I will see what come back after a very warm winter and go from there. I did tell myself that I was not going to do the finger poke as I had just had my nails done. Then I laughed and laughed and laughed. Good to see dirt under my nails again.

Always remember that in Hosta Land a few equals 72.

I too am out of room and If I order they are going in pots.Will probably whittle the list down.

I haven't ordered any yet, but these are certainly on the top of "The List" for 2016...

Frosted Jade

Bridal Falls

Queen of the Seas (I have one but it's not done well)

Paradise Sunshine or Mariachi (they may be identical)

Emerald Charger

Rain Dancer

Blue Umbrellas

Lakeside Love Affaire

Smokey Bear

Gold Standard

Piecrust Promise

Sea Gulf Stream

Lime Piecrust

Skylight

Sun Power

Spring Fling

Millennium

Tokudama Aureonebulosa

Sugar Snap

Sun Kissed and

Blueberry Waffles.

I haven't placed an order yet, but my choices for now are

Spring Fling

Deliverance (if available)

Little Treasure or blue mouse ears (can't decide)

DD, those are great choices. I got Deliverance as a bonus plant from Hallson Gardens, and I love it. I had a Spring Fling, but it died a couple winters ago, I think a vole hit it. Here's a pic from 2013, though. I loved that one, too.

Well I finally whittled down a list I can afford and is available from one supplier. Not much compared to some but I'm excited.

Envy

Foxfire Palm Sunday

Holy Mouse Ears

Jewel of the Nile

Sharp Dressed Man

Touch of Class

Donna, get a mouse...go on.... You know you want to! Get Little Treasure too! Tiny, will fit anywhere, and the two can keep each other company! ;-)

So wish I could send you a clump of mine...

Don, you will LOVE Bridal Falls!

Jerry, I have HME, JOTN and TOC (new). Really great hostas and easy to grow - nice list (had a tough time whittling down, huh? ;-).

Oh drats! Choosing hostas can drive you nuts!! Right Old Dirt!!

So, Miss Jo, I have narrowed it down to two "pets" - Blue Mice Ears and Mini Skirt along with Alakazaam and and possibly Little Treasure.

I really like Spring Fling, but wondering where I could plant it in my limited space. We'll see. Don, question for you. Is deliverance more blue or green? The other challenge, like Old Dirt said, is finding one supplier stocking all my choices.

One supplier never has all your choices. It just happens that way. This is not a cheap habit, my friends. Don't let limited space stop you from ordering more. Some will die anyway, and your tastes will change and you can ALWAYS find room for the special one that you cannot live without. I thought I had every combo of colors and leaf shapes, and then Wheee came along.....

-Babka

Hi, DD. Mine is pretty green.

Thanks, Don.

Hey Joesphines161 - before you order War Paint, have a look at Angel Falls. I love the way War Paint looks in spring, but soon it's greened up and just like the Niagara Falls in the next bed. Angel Falls looks a lot like spring War Paint all year long - at least the the pictures do. Looking forward to trying it and seeing if it lives up to the hype.

MadPlanter1...thank you for the information and recommendation!!! That is so thoughtful - much appreciated. I am going to immerse myself in as many pics of Angel Falls as I can.

War Paint won Top Gun on my thread and will be joining my garden. However, stay tuned....just in case you have become my enabler for AF! ;-)

Thanks again for the heads up! Googling now.....

Josephine I love my war paint , even after it turns green. I call it my Niagara Falls looks alike until my NF is grown to be l like Myrle's / I may have to google Angel Falls too
