Maybe Fatal Attraction or Harpoon.

Paul

Hmmm...never purchased either of those.

Looks like montana Aureomarginata. Phil

A very young 'American Icon'?

I think Montana Aureo

Ed

looks like some version of green fountain.. which makes it look like three coins in a fountain ...

ken

i know i don't have 3 coins....

ed/phil...should it be this shiny for MA? it always looks like this....SUPER shiny.

My MA is shiny also. Those are definitely montana leaves, but I'm surprised the margin isn't more yellow.

Steve

Steve...I agree. MA just isn't jiving. It also doesn't have the MA habit or structure.

Let me go get more pics

from your list:

��Animachi� (�Geisha�

ken...went out and found her...so it ain't her. geisha/am definitely curlier

i'm puzzled.

It looks sort of like my Ebb Tide, but it would be an immature Ebb Tide. Did a a hosta gnome come and steal all your tags??
Jen

still no resolution to this mystery

That's Columbine for sure (LOL) Les
What are the leaf dimensions?

ha! jen..missed your reply earlier (old age). i have ebb tide just 5 feet away and they aren't the same. freakin' gnome.

lol les...indeed it is. at least we got THAT id right!

Ok, the leaf is 9x5.5" right now. I new pics today. It is in more sun (read: getting fried) now that the mighty boxelder has fallen. The vc is 10, I believe...which also makes it too low for M.A.

If edges start to whiten, maybe Antioch.

Paul

How about kikutti Aureomarginata? I was passing by mine today, and thought it looked like this one.

When you say SUPER shiny, I think Queen Josephine, although your pics only vaguely resemble mine. But Red Hot Poker, which has shiny leaves, bears some resemblance to your pics.

Steve

aka_margo posted a new thread today with pictures from her garden. Look at the bottom of this photo.

Is that the same hosta as your #4 noid?

Steve

Funny Steve...I was thinking the same thing looking at that thread! However, hers is labeled Ebb Tide...and I have Ebb Tide...and it doesn't look like hers or my NOID. Well...similar but not the same.

My "real" Ebb Tide is very tall and fountain shaped. This one is short and lower to the ground...looks like hers is too.

I know I didn't purchase two Ebb Tides and this isn't an immature hosta...just short...lol...so what the heck?

Here is my "real" one...for size comparison, that is Krossa Regal in front of it and Guardian Angel behind it.

omg!! Jen! You got it! lol kikutii kept ringing a bell and I started saying "hyuga" like some sort of weird tribal person - it fit together and I didn't know why. rofl

The other name for kikutii aureomarginata is Kikutii 'Kifukurin Hyuga'.....I BOUGHT THAT!!! whoohoooooooooo!!!!

Vein count is right on, leaf size is right on and the pic is spot on - you rock, girl!

Thanks to everyone for helping me solve this!

SOLVED: kikutii 'Kifukurin Hyguga'

Here is a link that might be useful: Kikutii Hyuga

For some reason I thought we all bought or acquired that hosta during the convention (perhaps during an auction?). That's why when I saw mine I thought you might have the same one.
Jen

How I remember this, don't ask me...but the one we got at the auction was Katsuragawa Beni (OS). It is shorter and green w/ red petioles. Supposed to be incredible for breeding and wasn't available anywhere else and blah blah blah. We are suckers. I have a lancifolia w/ red petioles. rofl

Oh yes, I remember now! Whenever I look at that plant I say to myself, "Why did I buy that plant again?"

You should come to Wisconsin in July for the Midwest Convention, so we can be suckers for hosta auctions again.
Jen

lol...i haven't purchased a hosta in three years. check my pulse!!!

i literally ran out of room. *sigh*

what are the dates of the convention? i have to go to DC for business at some point in there but maybe i'll get a wild hair and come!!! i wish tara was here so we could road trip. BOOHOO

It is July 7-9th. I'm sure Tara doesn't want to leave the beauty of Hawaii to come see a bunch of hostas. Although she might just miss the gnome.
