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. |
