hi beth.. welcome ...

its never failed to amaze me. how any given hosta.. will bloom.. nearly across the country ... at the same time.. even if down south.. they have been active for many more months than the frozen north ... which probably means.. its triggered by sun position which is mostly consistent across the US as compared to other variables ...

so lets return to this with new pix when they bloom ...

also ... better pix would help ... we need a scale ...as hosta can look too much alike .... especially when not mature ... but can vary in size .. so include anything we might recognize in the pix ... hand,,, ruler.. lighter.. ballpoint pen.. etc ...

1. Grand Tiara

2. Golden scepter?

3. Guacamole

4. Blue Angel?

Those are my best guesses

Spray until it stops - may take a few treatments to cover and then knock down the fungus. Looks like an anthracnose type attack http://www.extension.umn.edu/garden/yard-garden/trees-shrubs/anthracnose/index.html "In Minnesota, the disease is most common during cool, wet spring weather." Chemical treatments include products with the following active ingredients. Propiconazole Thiophanate methyl Copper containing fungicides Mancozeb Chlorothalonil *Always completely read and follow all instructions on the fungicide label.

Botrytis, a fungal disease caused during some parts of the year in wet weather. If this is on the blooms now, there is nothing to do. Many of us don’t do anything, it occurs, we live with it. You may remove the damaged petals if you wish.

I have since put two and two together, and I know that the bottom two are Avocado and T Rex. I have a few name tags, but they were just in a stack, and I have many more hostas than I do name tags.

The first one looks more like Golden Tiara than Grand Tiara to me. Grand T has wider margins. No idea on the other one, but maybe Ladybug?

No—-I think you’re right, jimr66! I don’t think that’s T Rex. I think it’s Blue Angel!!!!!

Thank y’all. I think what I need to do is wait until they are all flowering, midsummer, and then put pictures on here. The color of the flower may help too.

I think jimr66 is guessed Golden Scepter accurately. And if that last one is Blue Angel, be prepared to give it plenty of space. Mine is about 5-6 feet across.
