						 An article by
			
			Warren I. Pollack in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal  (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled 
						Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name 
						for Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas  which various hostaphiles, published 
						articles or other sources have indicated "look" the 
						same. Some of these are, in fact, the same plant with 
						two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary 
						in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable 
						to the casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren 
						mentions, hostaphiles 
						may differ as to the plants listed 
						but then, their opinions are based on visual observations  and interpretations.  |
