Hosta x 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd'. The leaves of the specimen in my garden really do collect pools of water, and supposedly this cultivar was so-named because the breeder,Charles Purtymun, saw a dog lap water from one of the leaves of this plant.
I have Hosta x 'Abiqua Drinking Gourd' in my garden and love its texture and blue-green color. The word, Abiqua, which has been used for 24 other registered hosta cultivars, comes from Abiqua Creek, which flows through the central Cascades mountains in Oregon. Abiqua is possibly from a Kalapuyan word for "hazelnut". Kalapuyan is a small extinct Native American language family that was spoken in the Willamette Valley of Western Oregon.
