Re: H. Unforgettable

Mike,

Yes, this is normal for Unforgettable and Skyrocket (I forget which one
is the sport). Bub Kuk describes it: These varieties have the distinct
characteristic of flowers which tend to cluster in whirls along the
scape. I have a pix somewhere--could take a while to find. Bob says that
he is unaware of any other hosta doing this consistantly.
