I have 2, but I won't embarrass them by showing them in their current states. The cold weather didn't do them any favors this spring and they're rough looking. New leaves are coming up, so hopefully they'll look better next month.

Dancing Queen getting big

Here's a shot of mine from last week

Linda yours & Donna's, post the other day inspired me to get one. So now I have a DQ on the way !

Koffman- Good choice! You won't regret it!

Linda - I'm posting the latest photos of my Dancing Queen. I love it so much, I have two of them. This one has exploded this year. I love all the photos.

They are all so pretty! Can't wait to see mine with a few more years growth on it.

New last year but coming on by leaps and bounds.

It's a real eye catcher.

I just found mine under the deck and put it in the sun. I hope it recovers. I love the different colors they all are!

When I got home from vacation May 5 it was 7:40 pm. The first thing I did was run around my garden taking pictures of everything. This pic of DQ was taken at 8:02.

So it's kinda dark, but I love this hosta! I killed the new tree I planted near her, and now I'm looking for a Chinese Witch Hazel to shade this bed.

Thanks for sharing your D.Q. Here is mine. Bright and beautiful.

One of my favourite plants this spring.

A name as pretty as the Hosta itself. New last year, too.

I bought a small bareroot DQ online last month, but it doesn't look ruffly like all of yours :( Now I'm wondering if they gave me the right one.

Hope yours ruffles for you. Mine is also lacking in that area too, so I guess I should show you mine . It came in 2012 spring, so should be better than this, don't you all think?

It's the one on the left , pic is upside down, and it is shown with Nancy and Marilyn Monroe.

Mocc- I think your plant should be showing the ruffles by now. Maybe you have another mystery hosta on your hands.

Ked1985- I think your plant is too immature to show the ruffles. I would give it another year before deciding whether it is Dancing Queen or not.

Agree with ruffles not apparent in juvenile plants but becoming more apparent as plant ages.

However, a thought arose. When I picked up my Queen of the Seas couple years ago (wrong Hosta, right premise) I read that the ruffles/piecrusting would not be as pronounced, rather decreased if the plant grew in a container as opposed to in the ground. That has certainly proved true here. She is loaded with piecrusting while planted.

Could this be the case with Mocc's?...the fact that it is potted? Just thinking out loud. Ked's kind of resembles Mocc's IMO. Of course, it may also be possible that Mocc received the wrong plant in error.

Mine has always been in a pot.....
