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. |
