No answers for me on this hosta. It looks like a miniature leaf "Francee". Does anyone have a suggestion?

A few more comments/questions... Looking closer at the pic, I see what looks like a flower. I take it your NOID is in bloom?

Also I accidently clicked on your name instead of post title and noticed you're in NC. There is a way to enter your growing zone in your profile set up so we quit bugging you for it.
What are the dried up leaves on/around the hosta? Sometimes shrubs & trees will affect hosta size (for size reference).

Thanks for all of the comments. I'm new at this as you can tell. Here are some more pictures of the plant. It is currently blooming. The blooms are almost white with pale lavender tent in the bud. The scape is 28" tall. The overall plant is 28 w x 14 h. The leaves are about 3 x 4. Shiny on the back side. The plant is at least 5 years old. The dead leaves are recent leaf fall from our poplars. Dry weather has made the dead leaves fall in abundance and I just haven't gotten them all cleaned out. I'm attaching more pics.

I am in Zone 7 North West South Carolina.

It's a fragrant variety judging from bloomtime and look of flower (and leaves) but I'm not sure which one it is...off to the hosta library I go...

Sorry Beth, I just can't get it. Hopefully, someone with a better eye for fragrants will nail this one.

Could it be Fragrant Fire? Are the leaf stems reddish toward the base?

No. Not reddish. Wow. Didn't know it was such a sassy hosta.

I'm with you Don. The leaf shape is right for So Sweet, but the leaves are too small and the margin isn't wide enough. I just can't figure out what it is.
Maybe it's not fragrant. I don't think she said so. We just assumed. At my house, Crusader is blooming and it's not fragrant.

Not Fragrant Fire. The leaves are too small. She said 3X4. That means a fairly small hosta. It's also a loose mound.

Beth, I suggest you take the photos again, but at "fine" resolution. It will give you a larger photo. Those you took are too small to really see the flower in detail.

Beth, also, go out in the late afternoon/early evening and smell the flowers. Let us know if it smells wonderful. (Fragrant hosta don't have much fragrance in the morning.)

(Don, I agree. The flowers look like fragrant flowers. )

Wow. Didn't know I could cause such a stir. I'll follow directions tomorrow and see what happens.

I looked through my Little Hostas book...at first glance of pic #1, I was reminded of So Sweet but then ruled it out. Then I thought of the Tiaras (judging by leaf size) might be a Platinum Tiara?

Beth, it's a game we like to play. Thanks for playing with us.

Jo, wrong flower color. I guessed Diamond Tiara, but it's the wrong flower color, too.

Just looked up Diamond Tiara. My white lines aren't that wide or irregular. Still will take a better picture and post it later. I'll take a whiff as the evening unfolds as well. I'll be back.

We may have to call in the big guns on this one. If no one can ID it from these photos, we'll ask Don R to look at it.

Thanks.

Beth, I went through Don R. Fragrant list and looked at a couple, like Sweetness for example...but am not familiar enough with a lot on the list to zero in on particulars that may fit the bill. If you have the time and inclination, you could go through one by one, narrowing the field by eliminating obvious references to names like "blue" or "gold" etc.

Chances are you might find it. :-)

Thanks. I appreciate knowing the process.

Where do you find this list?

How about Fortunei Aureomarginata?

Im sorry, I neglected to provide you with the link.! Here it is - http://hostalists.org

You know, Delaware Donna, it could be. I have others identified as that(maybe incorrectly) as those have more elongated leaves. Will study them more. Thanks.

Given it's fragrant, has the look of So Sweet and those mid leaf stripes like Fragrant Bouquet, I looked a FB sports. How about Miss Saigon? I don't know how common it is, given no hosta is common in Texas, but I checked the hosta finder and about 10 growers have it for sale. The different photos show that it varies a lot from batch to batch.
