I did a little detective work on this one. I found the Guacamole tag that came with this plant. It came from Sawyer Nursery in Hudsonville (a few miles from me). I got a list of their hostas that they had last year. The only hosta on their list that comes close to looking like this one is Big Daddy. Steve, you got this one right. It's a Big Daddy! Now, I've found three other of their hostas that in my garden that are mislabeled. I'll be contacting both Meijer and Sawyer Nursery to make a little complaint. No more shopping at Meijer for hostas. And, I'll have to check out my hostas I bought at Lowes (before I knew about HVX and big box stores) since Sawyer Nursery supplied all of their hostas too. Gesila

Well, I wouldn't do anything until you are sure that it is HVX. You need to post a pic otherwise there is no way of knowing.

Paula, your OS is sinfully huge, and just new last year!!! it is absolutely beautiful - it has a "purity" quality about it, as it also does in its yellow stage. I so LOVE this plant. When Paula/Ilovetogrow posted her pic on the Top Gun thread, I immediately fell for it. There were so many beautiful contenders I really had a hard time deciding, then I went with my first reaction. It just happened to be the first pic too, I think. It was a POW moment. Since then I've also acquired a few others from that thread. I'm grateful you added last year's pic. I think You must have been dancing all the way home with that one when you got it :-) Love the yard, I laughed right out loud when I read your comment...still chortling! Thanks! ;-) Eleven, you have the ultimate canopy for hosta gardens. Just look at that beacon in the centre of the bed! All other plants seem to "attend" to her. Very, very lovely. Is that Devon Green down a bit from FD? Near what looks like Inniswood? Don't have either but guessing from memory? MadPlanter, you're so on point! I do have many other hostas that are compensating for the loss, extraordinarily doing so well. Each day I notice something new, or see leaves widen, corrugation appear, etc. I am in my element! The biggest difference this year is that there are no slug holes!!! I haven't seen a slug for at least a week now. I can enjoy the beauty of leaf and shape of a hosta without being distracted by slug bites. I'm convinced the population decreased due to the harsh winter. The small ones I found helped themselves to the bait I scattered around and they are gone! As for your MMA, I'm sorry you had to be disappointed. After I read your comment I checked on it in my Grenfell/Shadrack Encyclopedia and the centre does go through colour changes, but it doesn't go all green at all. It likes morning sun to maintain its lighter centre. You deserve the real thing!

I actually was watching a different hosta they had, but missed the auction... when I recognized the name you posted. So i went and took another look... wahoo! was on my short list of maybes, if the price is right. I have a lot of lists, lolz
