This is a young (perhaps juvenile) plant. The distinctive features are a RED petiole with some of the red carried into the base of the leaf mid-rib (picture). The leaf is bright yellow with a dark green border. I count 5 veins on each side of the mid-rib. The leaf is "narrowly ovate" (Zilis) and approximately 6" x 3.5" (again, perhaps a juvenile). Please see the pictures I have attached. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Thank you!

Comments (7)Don~ Opal and Trevi Fountain aren't hostas. I don't think hostas normally have spots. I was wondering if they were pulmonaria, but Chris pointed out that the mystery plant has waxy leaves. He thinks arum or asarum.

Comments (13)Nice, and really unique. You will just have to keep your eyes open for something that will work with that. Take the measurements down for what will work, you may get lucky and find something. The mirrors got separated on those vanities for hanging separately or just got broken. If you can find something maybe a simple round mirror with a black frame would work hanging on the wall above it. Before you try and strip and refinish check out re-amalgamation of varnish finishes. Google term or go to YouTube. Hint, if you can use this technique do it with a light hand if you want to retain patina. Also, don't remove patina from the drawer handles, just remove and give them a good scrub with soap and water. Here is one of many videos...I've used what is called mineral spirits, it's called whatever the guy uses in England, same stuff. Just check out YouTube videos. https://youtu.be/F9SsSF1Qv_Q Maybe not even use steel wool as this guy recommends. First try a gentle approach with a white cotton cloth dipped in mineral spirits. The process basically disolves the varnish, removes some, then the varnish re-hardens/drys. It happens rather quickly too. That is if it's natural varnish that was used, which is more likely than not. Doing a test spot will quickly tell you if it is varnish rather than polyurethane, basically nothing much will happen to finish if poly....See MoreCan you help me identify this hosta?
