Hosta #3...This one is a bit sun burned...took out a tree this year and now have to move this hosta. Leaves in the middle are true to the plant. Light Green

Thanks mocs for trying, it is really cute and thick, so slugs should be kept at bay. I bought a bigger hosta carnival at the same place, could it be the same plant? You mentioned about the rugosity when it matures, so it got me thinking. The colors are similar, but the carnival has some texture to it and the leaves are a little rounder. Trying to upload anothet photo, but the web won't take it, can I only do one photo per post? What am I doing wrong? Thanks Steve for trying as well. I should have known it will bother me all the time until I ID the plant, it was just an impulse buy, the soft colors and cupping of the leaves were so different than my mostly heart shaped ones, that I really just had to have it, but what really got me excited was when I touched the leaves and felt the thickness, my heart just went thump thump, you know? I know... crazy and hopeless :(

BAM ! I think Jill nailed it. AHS says it is smaller than Venusta and the HL pics of TT look identical. Thank you as always !!! I will have two (possibly more) when spring rolls around and the other two mini actually look like Hosta and not mutilated lettuce. Ludi

Hi Connie, I've been giving some thought to #3. Yes, it is possible that those hostas don't get enough sun to bloom. I do seem to recall very sporadic flowering late in the season (zone 5). I've only really started enjoying hostas in the last 3-4 years, so I am lacking in knowledge. I am going to thin #3 and plant in a couple of different places. Thanks for your response, as it gives me something to think about.
