Hi Diana,

P 'Gemini' sounds interesting. what exactly goes into culturing a plant?
I have heard that when culturing hostas anyway, some charactersistics of
the parent plant don't come through to every plant created. I don't know
if I understood it right or not. I heard this in relation to a
discussion on the generic hostas that are appearing commercially that
are labled "variegated hosta' without telling what cultivar it might be.
