How about some more pictures with something for size comparison.

Could be Robert Frost. Or any number of other things. You might wait until the flowers open, sometimes that is very helpful in identifying a mystery hosta, or at least eliminating some possibilities.

What zkathy said is important. Put a soda can, a ball pint pin or something of a recognizable size next to the plant or on a leaf, so we see how big the plant is.

The King?

Here's another shot. I wear a size 6.

I thought it possible it might be Northern Exposure? I have one but its only been with me for two years. The leaves are still rather long and not as wide yet, but after googling the images of NE, it is a possibility? Maybe?

Let me try that again. I'm new at this.

Another guess would be 'Barbara Ann'... although her colouring is darker. Could be because she is under the deck...or its just a bad guess - can't win them all, lol

Barbara Ann is a blue/grey, the mystery plant is a green. Also, BA has a wider margin extending all around the leaves, although that's more noticeable on a mature plant.

Northern Exposure is a good guess, this one is quite similar to NE, but lacking the rugosity and with much narrower white edging on the bottom of the leaves. Same for American Halo, it's more rugose and has a wider margin all the way around the leaf. NE and AH also have pale yellow to cream margins depending on sun levels and maturity of the plant, this one is very white.

Where and when did you get this plant? It's sometimes a good clue to what it is, as certain varieties were in commercial production at fairly specific times.

Let me rephrase my original response--it's almost certainly Robert Frost. I had a lovely mature plant in my garden until someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse for it.

dhaven---you are so nice to respond with such thorough information. Unfortunately, I have no idea where or when the plant came from. It's on the north side of my house and until recently in a rather jungle like area that my neighbor's really did not care about cutting back. So I think strangely enough that it may be before I bought the house some 30 years ago. I live in Milwaukee Wi. I have a couple of hostas on that side of the house that I don't remember planting. This one of them. When I began my venture into gardening, about 24 years ago, my focus was always on the other 3 sides of the house which didn't look like a jungle. The plant was very near an old hydrangea bush which may be original to this 1935 house.

Dhaven ---you think NE or AH not RF? Right. I do have a RF and it does not have the same flower?

Here is a picture of the top of the raceme, flower is mostly spent, but one can see the unopened flower appears pale lavender, but the flower is white once opened.

Hhaven has very good descriptions of the characteristics of each.

For visual comparison here is my RF and NE:

Northern Exposure:

Hope this help.

As soon as I saw your picture I said that looks like my Robert Frost!

Here's a leaf close up:

Robert Frost has my vote after seeing these last photos. :-)

Don originally identified it back on June 22nd in the first thread...good eyes, Don! You are good at this ID thing. :-)

Josephine Don and garcanar--- after seeing these last comments and photos, I must admit it does look like a RF. Then the other "RF" in my garden becomes the mystery plant.

I'll have to post the other one.
