						 An article by
			
			Warren I. Pollack in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal  (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled 
							Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy 
							Name for Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas  which various hostaphiles, 
							published articles or other sources have indicated 
							"look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the 
							same plant with two or more different names. Others 
							are hostas that vary in some minor trait which is 
							not immediately discernable to the casual observer 
							such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may 
							differ as to the plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations  and 
							interpretations.  |
