I don't consider Alvatine Taylor a substitute for Frances Williams at
all! This is what I wrote earlier, responding to P.Bracey's earlier
post.

Actually, I have found FW a very nice hosta with very little if any
burning. I have Aurora Borealis which is just now mature enough to
resemble FW, and I have Samurai, still immature. Josh, I think only
the color combination of A.Taylor is like FW, and I think both of
them are wonderful hostas, but different! I don't have Olive Bailey
Langdon, but since F.W. seems to be doing very well in my garden I
have too many other hostas on my want list to get OBL My FW came
from Eldren Minks...maybe that's why it is so nice!

Me writing again (Linda)..amazing how a couple of posts later how
what you meant to say gets misinterpreted! Did any of you ever play
"Simon Says" when you were a kid? Happens in real life all the time.
Anyway, P.Bracey, I think you would be happy keeping your Frances
Williams and adding Alvatine Taylor!
