Lost the tag --- can anyone identify, please?

11 years ago

In transplanting this Hosta to a more comfortable spot for it, I lost the tag. This is a pretty clear picture of it so I'm hoping that someone here can identify it for me. It's about three feet around with beautiful crinkled leaves. Thanks so much.

I think it probably is Tom Pouce - that's one of the one's I ordered. Sorry about the blurriness for some reason I kept having that problems with my pictures. I suspect either the squirrels or bluejays are running off with the tags. They seem to replant my bulbs all the time. They haven't replanted any lily bulbs yet though, just tulip, daffodils, etc. There even replanting the neighbor's bulbs in my yard.

Your bitone purple has an interesting beard. It looks very soft going from dull mustard out to pale lavender. That is always an area to pay attention to, along with the veining around it. I don't see purple base foliage at ground level. In the next to last picture the stalk looks to have 3 branches with double sockets on the terminal (top) flower and on the lowest branch. Maybe more ? Can't tell. Fall color has red pigment and the color lightens towards the edges. Height looks more than 27 inches and if so it is a tall bearded, not an intermediate. Oh, and the standard petals look relaxed, almost resting on one another. This may change with weather, age of bloom, or be a trait. I checked pre 1959 pictures. Indian Hills - fairly good match but no stalk pictures and not sure if veined area shape matches. Falls seem a little droopier. Concord Velvet - only saw one pic so inconclusive. Master Charles - looks to have more red pigment than yours. Sable - didn't see enuf red pigment, matches in some areas. The Black Douglas - possibility.

A BIG thank you to macranthos for your assistance here, pointed me in the right direction, and yes this is a Pilea Microphylla, though with the suggestion sent me to the receipts back in February and I did find,one for "Babies Tears" which is the depressa sub, and this makes me believe that in fact was sold to me incorrectly, a mix up at a nursery or something, as this particular plant shows more aspects of the Microphylla variety. Also Thank you Ken on your compliment and observation, that was quick thinking actually of what do I have handy for a scale?? Nearest object gets elected since I was too lazy to go and get a ruler. One last thank you goes to this forum, full of great people and an invaluable resource. Blessings to everyone Tim

Some Ligularia perennials produce spikes of yellow flowers in autumn , but the foliage pictured above doesn't appear to match. Perhaps you can describe the flower detail more. Did the flowers resemble the link below? How tall are the plants ? https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=7WuBW9ngNZKgtQXrtJG4Bw&q=ligularia+flower+spike&oq=ligularia+flower+spike&gs_l=img.3...24058.25382.0.25830.7.7.0.0.0.0.91.597.7.7.0....0...1c.1.64.img..0.2.179...0j0i8i30k1j0i24k1j0i30k1.0.qdKO5UmkaJI

I'd say 'Tokudama Aureonebulosa'

It's the white funnel shaped flowers that tell you this is Tokudama Aureonebulosa. If you click on the picture and then zoom in on the flowers you can see them more clearly.

Tokudama Aureonebulosa, or one of the lookalikes...

If 'TA' doesn't ring a bell see if 'Bright Lights' or 'Heatwave' does. A named clone and a tc sport of 'BL' that are more recent intros but don't differ a whole lot.

Thanks all --- it definitely looks like the photos of Tokudama Aureonebulosa rather than Heat Wave or Paradigm because the flowers are definitely short, pure white funnels and there's more green than yellow on the leaves. Of course, it's now in a shaded corner rather than bright sun so perhaps that's affected the leaf color.

Sad to say that I originally put all of the plant names on wide sticks like the ones a doctor uses when she/he checks your throat ---- thought I was being clever (and thrifty). Then they all faded and rotted and the ones I've found I can't read! So I can't really tell what was written on the sticks. This year I bought proper metal stakes and am naming all of my favorites!
