| Info | H. 'Mt. Baldy' is a very large gold from a lengthy cross made in 1998 by Olga Petryszyn. Parents are H. nigrescens 'Elatior', 'High Noon', 'Great Plains', 'Bills Blue' [a 'Tokudama'-type from Bill Brincka, Olga’s esteemed hosta mentor now deceased], 'Bengee', H. montana macrophylla and 'Zounds'. Lengthy indeed! Big bright yellow leaves are prominently veined. Here's the back story on the name from Olga: "About 5 years ago Bob Balitewicz [the enthusiastic hosta connoisseur and ambassador commonly known as Indiana Bob who passed away in January 2014] was visiting and spotted it in the area where I put the hostas of interest. He insisted that I register it and called it 'Mt. Baldy'. Mt. Baldy is a sand dune located at the southern shore of Lake Michigan in the Indiana Dunes National Park. It is a living shifting dune of 126 feet. Bob and I loved that special area. It has been closed for hiking ever since that young boy sank down into an empty shaft most likely created by a hollow tree. Thank God he survived. |
