I'm sure I'm out of my mind but...I would like to identify each of my hostas. I know there are hundreds of varieties. But this is what I want to do. Maybe some of you can help me out here. I'll post pictures as soon as I get them developed.

The first one to bloom is blooming now. And the bloom is blue rather than white. I'm thinking that will narrow down the search quite a bit. But I could be wrong.

It's got a very narrow light green edge and is deeply textured. And the blooms didn't grow on very high stocks. I don't know if that will help at all. I'm sure I'll have to wait until I get the pictures developed.

Oh, identifying hostas will be hard but we'll give it a good try.

Woohoo lets see one is called Hosta 'Blue Haired Lady'.

I never new there was a Captain Kirk Hosta. Now as an originia fan I just have to have one of those don't I? As if I need a reason to buy a plant lol.

And another one is Hosta 'Cookie Crumbs'.

and this one is Hosta 'Key Lime Pie'

I can't quite decide on the last one. It is center white varigated, with a mid-green edge and very wavy. It is also textured. Do you see any like that?
