Tony Avent said at Hosta in focus that there are only about 500 distinct
hostas. With over 3,000 cultivars floating there are hundreds of more look
alikes. I would like to see this information posted on a web page for all to
see eventually. It sure would save hosta collectors a lot of money. It would
also take the profit out of people introducing look alike hostas.
