Okay, when i bought this hosta it was tagged Sitting Pretty, i dont believe that is sitting pretty anymore (LOL)

but it does look nice, after looking in the hosta library Sitting pretty has the reverse varigation. (gold in the center) anyone have any idea? the one in the center.

any thoughts welcome, i will pay you back in Paul's hosta bucks (not valid anywhere for purchase or redeemable for cash)

BK....getting photos off the phone. Do you have an Android smart phone? Then you can get the Flickr or Photobucket app for free, and when you take your pictures, send the ones you want to Flickr. Failing that, do you have a phone charger that is also a USB connector to your computer? Hook it up and MOVE the photos to your computer. They might not be 8mp photos, but some might be good enough for identifying stuff. Sugar And Cream does fine here too. You'll soon discover you like it almost as much as So Sweet. Consider trying Sweet Innocence with its very wide white margin. You can ID it 10 or 20 feet no problem. Here's Sugar And Cream on the far left. and Sweet Innocence as well

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 :(

That occured to me. I've lost the tags on everything with all the repotting and moving last year. Also, Cleo takes the tags out of pots.Also, I lost so many last year, I'm not even sure what I have left. I have several that I don't know what they are. I know it's not Twilight, as I never had it. I didn't think Fragrant Dream was that large. Plus, none of the other fragrants are blooming. But, if it's FD, it's in it's 4th year, so it could be a leap year. That could explain how large the leaves are. I'll check my photos and see if it makes sense. Thanks, Jo. bk

Seems more blue than my Golden Tiara, but I'm not sure what it is. Could it be an immature size? How long have you had it?

Golden Tiara has a much smoother leaf surface, without the deeply impressed veins. It also has a rounder leaf and a brighter gold edge. This looks very much like Veronica Lake, a lovely sport of Pearl Lake.

PEACE comes to mind.. check the third pic at the library ....

I looked at it and immedieately thought of Peace, so I agree with Ken. It's one of the nicer specimens I have seen, if that is correct.

It looks exactly like my Peace. Are the margins getting more gold in the late summer? Mine do. I think it is a very sweet hosta. Lois

The pic was taken in the evening, the flash went off that is why it looks shiny. I know that it is not a GT I have one of those, it/s been in the ground for over 3 years now

I just checked the hosta Lib. it could be peace,, thanks folks
