I think this hosta is June Fever.
Mid May
Mid June
Mid July
But now the leaves are not fully opened but somewhat folded. Is this normal?

Comments (4)Thanks flowerfan2 for the confirmation of PPE. The second one does look like 'Inspiration'. My plant is only two years old so has been pinched back and this spring was hail damaged to the ground so am not sure of mature height. I bought it from Rice Creek Gardens when they closed (due to hwy expansion) on the last day. They were known for having unusual varieties as well as the more common ones. The plant was not labeled. It is 4' tall and climbing on a trellis now. The blooms are 5" wide and more a reddish purple rather than pink. The low blooms in the photos are on a vine that was hanging down. I see 'Inspiration' is a semi-climber. This clematis does not act like my c. integrifolia 'Bushy Blue Bell'. The leaves are also wider on this clematis. It is herbaceous and appears to die back to the ground with the frost. I have about 30 different varieties of clematis. Most are P3 and the P2s have been treated the same as they are just 2 years old. This spring I will leave some old wood on the P2s for spring bloom. I guess time will tell if it will grow like a viticella or not next year....See MoreNew June Fever
Comments (5)BK, I got mine last year from Naylor Creek. I kept it in a lot of shade, and this is what the picture looked like in November 2012. This spring, it has been located in morning sun, and I haven't moved it from that one spot. So here it is in July . More than likely, if it is placed in some morning sun, the color will change some. But avoid afternoon sun. In the early part of this season, it was a really bright color with a narrowish dark green margin. Here it is May 6, 2013....See MoreCabin fever
Comments (4)Hi I laughed out loud when my nme came up! i hate winter, with a passion! it's only because of Al's job that we are here (that was when he wasn't sick) (he works, he is still employed by the college here). we didn't get the snow that was expected only afew flakes here and there, but the funny thing is when we do get a storm NOTHING closes down at all, not even the schools. i have also been without a car for over 2 weeks now, and have walked everywhere i needed to go (i have never minded walking) and i seem to be appreciated now, because mom can't drive us! to make the winter go by faster (and it seems like it will still be here come june!), i usually get a ton of books and mags from yard sales in the summer and fabric and wool -- to quilt and knit and make afew clothes for dd. we're lucky the neighbours like us alot they plow our driveway and just generally keep track of us (sort of like a neighbourhood watch only better), if you're outside they come and chat and just check on things in general. weekends i get to sleep in too, if ds isn't working till 8:15! and there's talking to you nice folks seeing what is happening in your end of the world. Then the rotten stuff is like on thursday, hydro bill - 2 months worth, hope your sitting down $368.54, and heat (force air gas) - one month - 298.98! thank goodness that will end soon! but i don't think spring will come soon, my perennial beds have about 3 1/2 feet of snow on them, but it sure is fun going into wal-mart and looking at all the seeds and lawn furniture! keep warm tonite, it's going to be really cold here! debbie...See MoreIs this June Fever?
Comments (5)it can take 2 or 3 years ... for a transplant to show it true form .... planted in may... its spent most of it energy growing roots for next year ... so its not surprising it might be hard to ID ... try again in late spring.. and throw a scale in there.. anything we might recognize ... ken...See More

I looked through my pictures and found one from end of May...I think yours is a June Fever, they like to roll up their leaves, especially in cool nights and with enough rain.
Another one from last week shows how much it is bleached out by the terrible sun this year, but the leaves aren't burned
June Fever is a wonderful hosta!Karin

5 years agolast modified: 5 years agoIn the spring it is a nice bright yellow. I like this one in shade as I have a few that go to parchment white but not many green on green. I wonder if there's a place where it would keep it's yellow and not go white or green.

I would love it if it stayed just this colour... it is somewhat shaded by the Japanese Maple but gets full on afternoon sun from around 3:30.
NHL, it was an end-of-season purchase a couple of years ago with a full pot of divisions and it just kept growing. It was Barb's mature one that prompted this acquisition. :-). It sounds like so much extra work for you trying to avoid tree roots, NHL. I really feel for you. At the same time, I know the end result will have been worth all the work and frustration.
