I definitly don't want this mini group forum to be nerdy, but I need to point out (for the record, at least) that the correct name in Bev Stegeman's greatly...
I would be happy to do this if our clump has not already "gone down" for the season, as many already have here. I have not done any further measuring or...
From Minidido aka Diana I have just acquired two Minis from Europe, 'Petit Prince' which I understand was raised in Canada and 'Rumpelstielzchen' which was...
Hi Minidido, ‘Rumplestielzchen’ from Fritz Köhlein is one of the smaller venusta types, for me similar to what I have as venusta ‘Minuet’ (invalid...
I am writing this not as George but as Chair of the AHS C&N Committee: According to the ICNCP, the existence of the registered name H. 'Rumpelstiltskin' (R & D...
Hi Bev, All Some time ago I mentioned that the lateness of the season may prevent actual measurements for a lot of our northern hosta friends. Maybe next...
Hi Hugo, Back before 1997 David Stevenson was Registrar and there was no registration committee. No one seemed to know about Koehlein's 'Rumpelstielzchen'. I...
It seemed to me that after the recent discussion on the cultivar name 'Rumpelstielzen' in this forum, some kind of closure (conclusion) is needed since this...
George or anyone, I had a question about 'Aoba Komachi'. Does anyone know of this cultivar? Could it be the all green version of 'Tsugaru Komachi' as Bill...
Hi George, I can only agree. My point was that it can be difficult for the registrar and for the hybridizer to know if a name is already in use. Thanks for...
Hi Carol, I once got an 'Aoba Tsugari'. It was one of the plants that Heinz Klose (Germany) got from Japan. Aoba means green leaf, so the green-leafed hosta...
Hugo, Carol, Aoba Tsugaru Komachi is in the Hosta Library, sent in by Jamie Freer. It is green- leaved, as the name indicates. Being all green it might grow a...
Hugo and George, Thanks for the get back! I've already passed it along to the person who asked about it. It all sounds like good fodder for "What's in a Hosta...
Hi All, I got the plant from Ran Lydell in 2004. I didn't ask parentage so can't say for sure what it is. In the 3 years it's been here I'd say he's right...
Hi Jamie, It does not matter if the leaves have turned yellow. As long as they are not dried up and shrunk, the measurement will be fine for this purpose. Some...
In an early posting by Hugo Philips, he mentions he has H. venusta `Minuet', adding that this might be an invalid name. Could this hosta be H. v. 'Minuta',...
I had the opportunity to visit Cady's Falls Nursery in Vermont late last summer. Its 2007 catalog lists H. venusta 'Curly' with this description: "Small green...
Warren: Look under H. venusta in the Hosta Library - Specifications Update I mention a H. venusta 'Wavy Edge' which may be similar to H. venusta 'Curly'. On...
Some years back Darrell Probst gave me a division of a wavy-edged venusta he had collected on one of his trips to China. I have since referred to it as 'Wavy...
Thanks Victoria, In 1997 Darrell was kind enough to assign to me for study 9 different specimens of his H. venusta collection on Cheju Do in Korea. Tony Avent...
I suggest subscribers go to George Schmid's Species Update/H. venusta on the Hosta Library web site and view the photo on page 4 of the various H. venusta...
Before venusta Curly gets legitimised may I mention that there is already a 'Curly' care of the Lachmans. Tim OTP ... From: "giboshiwip" <giboshiwip@...>...
Oh yes, isn't venusta variegata(ed) now 'Masquerade'?? and a sieboldii?? Tim OTP ... From: "giboshiwip" <giboshiwip@...> To: <minihosta@yahoogroups.com> ...
Right Tim, This new 'Curly' could never be registered nor legitimized. All registered names are in Kevin's database so duplications can be avoided (if one...
I e-mailed George Schmid asking whether it should be 'Aoba Tsugaru Komachi' or just 'Aoba Komachi'? Recall there was a recent discussion about 'Aoba Komachi',...
A quick note to say that the name H. 'Masquerade' is attributed to Diana Grenfell, the British hosta authority and author. It is not registered. Warren Pollock...
