Hosta `The Big Five-oh'. MEDIUM. Looks to be a "flared bell" with striping about 22-30", August-September. Mounds 14-16"high by at least 30"wide and probably more like 40"wide. Leaves 6"long by 2"wide(12vp); arrow-shaped, pronouncely veined appears to be the "collector's" desire; tapered to a point; appears to be great multiplier! The eyes are small at the base of the crown and literally become their own plant quickly that fall apart with little to no effort. Excellent substance, rubbery, leathery.

Seems like WE MADE IT! To the convention and Phifty-In-Philly 2018 no matter your AGE! If YOU WANT IT come and GET IT! By registration ONLY 1st ISSUE!

Verbally I am NOT ALLOWED to PRINT THIS but:
Hosta `The Big Five-oh', near white, 30-40", June-July. MEDIUM and ROBUST. Mounds 30"high by 50"wide(11-13vp); dark green with flat margins; VERY SHINY on top; VERY SHINY underneath; broadly ovate with cordate base; lightly concaved overall. Notable: Very deep veins. Young clumps are flat on top. Mature clumps show-off their arching dome shape.(Charlie Seaver, 2017, seems Charlie lost track of the genology(parentage)as it's UnKnown). The scape is green. Flower is tubular and 3"long. That about wraps it up without a page of MADD-lib WHy You Should Have It! Maybe because it would make many of us 50 years old, enough to know better, but still to young to care, WHere Your Hobby May Take You.
