'Ani Machi' is usually sold under the incorrect nursery name 'Geisha', but it doesn't translate to Geisha. Ani Machi is a Japanese variety that someone brought to the west. There was a previous hosta registered as 'Geisha', but it is believe to no longer exist anywhere and they were not the same. I have 'Ani Machi' and it's not a mini, but isn't large either. Polly - I don't know if you frequent the Hallson chat list at all, but we've been working on an index to all the hostas for which informational threads have been posted.
http://www.perennialnursery.co... It now lists over 450 varieties and because it is indexed it's possibly a good way to make note of Japanese named hostas.
