Re: [nise] Re: Hosta Variegation (clarification)

I must admit that I am interested in the posts about the unusual
variegations.  I would like to see some of these types as I have only two
examples at present (one of which is our Fuzzy).  I suppose that I could
call George Schmid about the Gosan variety, but are any of the others
available commercially (such as Snow Flurry)?  I can not repress my
scientific curiosity.

Jim
