    I have nowhere near 200 but I'm well into the 20s/30s. Some were quite expensive as new varieties but others just supermarket pick ups. I keep thinking I should split them as they're mostly in big pots but as they come back year on year with no work from me I presume they're happy at present.

    Couldn't resist going off and buying one of the 6 packs in Aldi yesterday, busy now looking for 6 pots & space to put them!

        yes, some types are quiet expensive. I recall before I started my hosta collection. I gathered many books from the library to read up on them. So many types. Flat types, heart shaped, vase shaped, smooth, quilted etc. And then we have the colors . I have one that smells wonderful when in bloom. So many types.
