Weedling found in 2012 and almost certainly from 'Lakeside Zinger'. It has really tough green leaves, though I occasionally see a white streak in some of them. The hosta next to it is 'Grand Prize'; so it's quite small.

'Whirlwind' is one of my older hostas, neww around 2000. I'm posting pictures of both my divisions because this year they looked strikingly different from each other though the second plant was divided from the first. This is the older division and it's closer to a tree, hence is drier and gets less light.

'Whirlwind' - this is the newer division. East of my house; so morning sun, though not necessarily more moisture because of roof overhand, though it's not fighting with a tree. I moved it slightly and improved the soil where it is planted about a year ago and this year it's more upright and has wider margins than every before.

'Wylde Green Cream' was new in 2008. Like 'Ice Cream' of the same family, it had formed a fairy ring. I dug it in the spring, enriched the soil and removed tree roots and replanted some of it. Also got about 5 divisions for sales.

'X-rated', new in 2007, is a nice, free-spirited mini which has done well for me but especially likes the new location where it's been for 4 years.

'Heidi Ho' is a 2013 seedling from 'Spilt Milk'. This is quite a large plant and getting larger as it's been divided a couple of times to share with family members as I named it after my third granddaughter.

2010 seedling from 'Deja Blu'. This is a nice blue mound. Normally has a nicer shape than in the picture but I divided in spring.

2012 seedling from 'Christmas Pageant' is quite large and upright and has attitude! I MAY name it 'Noble Nolan' after my only grandson.

2014 seedling from 'Emerald Ruff Cut'. I like this yellow seedling for its ruffled leaves. But for some reason it didn't bloom for me this summer. It was moved to this location late last summer.

2016 seedling from 'Curly Fries' looks a lot like its pod parent except for a slightly different colour to the leaf. I quite like this one.

2016 seedling from 'Purple Heart'. This one has really red petioles extending up into the leaves. I'm looking forward to the bloom on this one.

2016 seedling from 'Spilt Milk' has been streaked from the very beginning. It looks nearly identical to my 'Milkmaid'.

2016 seedling from 'Tickle Me Pink' has thick, glossy leaves and red flower scapes.

another 2016 seedling from 'Tickle Me Pink' is more like the pod parent with thick, yellow leaves.
