Linda it is mature, its been there for years. I took a division from it a couple years ago which ended up fizzling out. This is in a tough west facing bed. I’ve noted to move it in the spring.

Dj and Ademink, it looks very close to both mentioned (in some pics). Hostas sure are difficult to ID... so many varieties!

Here is another one in same bed...tucked away in back corner. This one gets quite large and is lovely, especially when dappled with raindrops ....another no ID lol. I planted these years ago never thinking to save the tags.

After visiting this forum, my eyes have really opened up. Hostas now catch my eye. It’s like I never even noticed them before.

Since viewing all of your beautiful specimens, I now see the beauty in hostas.....

Makes me have shade envy, wishing I had more!

Maybe Robert Frost? It has a white and lavender flower. Look at the RF in the library to compare.

Thanks dj I’ll take a look. Not sure what the blooms look like as this is in a neglected area so I’ve never paid attention. It caught my eye this year!

It's one of the shrub honeysuckles, such as Lonicera tatarica. Deemed invasive in many areas of the US.

One must look at the shape of the bloom and the tepals as well as the color. Bourbon for example has no curl to the edges like Sunset does. You can see little pointed tips on it that your plant does not have. There are still others out there that are similar. It is sometimes very difficult to identify Clems.

norfolk island pine[?] is a common houseplant in the great white north ... one of the few conifers that can take the lack of direct sunshine ... humidity abuse during long winters ... etc ... if successful ... they can start swallowing up lots of space in the room ... and eventually hit the ceiling .... 10 or 15 years.. tree time ... fear your success ...lol ... they are telephone pole trees in their native areas .... so growing them indoors shows the effects of growing plants in low light ... reduced vigor ... when i was a kid.. we decorated our charlie brown xmas tree with its own set of mini ornaments .... though back them light lines were too heavy for it ... it is a tree .. so it would probably prefer a drink and near drying.. compared to the other plant in the pot ... so you might want to repot them separately .... ken ps: though commonly called a pine.. its not a pine ... imo

I believe it may be Francis William. So hard to tell as they look so much alike, but yes it does get burned at times but it’s also been very dry at the same time. Here they have exploded with all the rain we’ve had...

How old? Where it was bought? There are tons of similar hosts so it will help. Or you might have to wait to maturity to see if it more recognizable.

My Broadband looks a lot like that. Edges are yellow in spring and lighten up as the season progresses. The edging on yours looks wider, though. But the third green between the edge and the middle looks similar. There’s lots of similar looking hostas.

I think the blue one may be 'Blue Angel'. If you post a pic when the flowers open up more, may be able to be more IDable.

The blue looks like maybe Blue Angel......or possibly Elegans (sp?) BA has very distinctive flower when it blooms. Second picture is an emerging bud. Another way to learn about hostas is on garden tours. That’s how I learned the name of my BA, on a gar walk/tour.
