Danny with Hosta 'Chrismas Candy' - and a few others! Where do you wear yours?

A collector and breeder himself, Danny is considered by Gert to be a real authority when it comes to Hostas. So much so that when Gert thinks he has something new, it's Danny he turns to first to get his opinion.

And it was Danny who actually came up with the name for Hosta 'Christmas Candy'.
