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. |
H. 'Paradigm' appeared on two lists in the article.
According to my last algebra class, if A=B and B=C, then A=C so it
would seem that all hostas on the two lists would qualify as
look-alikes.
List #1 - H.
'Brother
Stefan' and
H. 'Paradigm'
List #2 - H.
'Darwin's
Standard', H. 'Dick
Ward', H. 'Goldbrook
Gayle' and
H. 'Paradigm'
