Babka, Thank you very much. Phil, I think we both stole it from Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'Ha(o)sta la Vista babby!' ;-) Jan, I think the full name is Undulata Albo Marginata, even though it wasn't labeled as Undulata. Mocc, that NBC was new (1 gallon) a year ago last Fall. It was pretty big last year and already is bigger this year. The only hosta shown in these pics that has any real age is the larger Elegans which is the mother of the smaller one and one I gave my next door neighbor. It is about 4 years old...and it came from my big Elegans in the front yard. Jon

A bed called Kokopeli would probably not appropriately have hosta in it (LOL). I have long been fascinated by the world-wide universality of variations of the word "Mano" as it applies to a great spirit or god in so many cultures. In some native american languages it is "Manitoon". In others it is "Manitou".Biblically food from God is called "Mano". Some of us believe we were made in the image of God so we call ourselves "man" and refer to ourselves as "huMAN": etc.,etc.---etc. I'd not made the association between the name Anisazi and Anishinaabe until you mentioned it. I read in the Michener book Centennial that the name Arapaho translates to "The People", which seems to have nothing in common. Pronunciation is important. One would have to properly pronounce Ojibwe to see how it could have been mis-interpreted as Chippewa. Ojibwe is a very complicate language. I am tirelessly working on how I would be identified in Ojibwe as "he who crawls through his hosta gardens with a camera in one hand and a clipboard in the other". Sorry - this is straying from how we name our gardens. Les Hwcthgwaciohaacbito (LOL).

I understand what you mean..go to the lower left corner..then backspace and the pic would delete while creating or even after posting..didn't work today..in pic 1 Autumn's on the left and sensitive (I think) on the right..I wonder if my "hardy" ferns from Kmart could be Royals?..cinnamon ferns are tall..my neighbor has some..that stand of ferns at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens is huge..I'm writing this from Houzz grrr..got on the old format several times today but the pics are fuzzy..so chaotic dealing with Houzz.. I found this pic which I think is similar to mine..when I saw mine I thought "leave it..it's different than the purple"..can you see why the leaves remind me of the hardy begonia? I found
