Can you ID This Pretty One?

Here is a Hosta given to me by a friend many years ago. It's never really expanded much just stays like this. Would love to know who she is tho! My Hosta (several hundred of them) have survived two multi state moves -one in February! Sadly I know the names of a couple dozen but that's all. I've been too messed up with my health since we moved here five years ago to do the big ID project I'd intended. Someday, right?? Meanwhile I can still enjoy them.

Likely Dream Queen, Dream Weaver or Thunderbolt which all look identical.

Funny! I like your F-16 description! :) This plant was just asked about in another post! Colletia paradoxa (or C. cruciata), Crucifixion Thorn & other common names. See link below. Here is a link that might be useful: Colletia paradoxa

Kathy, I like Licorice! I'll add that to the list of possibilities. Tammy, you've got MY cat!!! OMG, they're twins! Laurel, I think you're onto something!! My favorite leading man is Clark Gable. I love Gone With the Wind ONLY because he's in it. I just love how manly he is. So maybe I should name my little guy Gable or Rhett. My dog is Sam Elliott. Why not a Clark Gable or Rhett Butler in the house too? Other possibilities are: Panda Zeus (God of Thunder because of his lightning tail) Tux for tuxedo Flash (again the lightning thing) But now you've got me leaning heavily towards Rhett. He is a handsome devil (both man and beast). Any other ideas? Thanks for all the suggestions. I imagine by nightfall, Kitty Doe will have a name. NancyAnn

Yep, for sure. But if she's not doing any more than that, maybe she's not perfectly happy in that spot. I would move her to a new area, give her some elbow room and let her shine. This is a beautiful hosta.

And the little feller to the right is unhappy as well. Maybe too much heat off the sidewalk?

Thank you so much everyone! The little feller to the right you mentioned - he had just been stripped bare by a bunny wabbit out in another garden and I had just moved him to this new location for protection. He's going to be okay. This bed is right by my front door and the wabbits leave it alone. I call it my "ICU Bed." Everything that needs TLC goes there until it recovers.
