 Anyone guess this mini? Lost the tag - dark bluish green with a light green edge  Vole rescues. Both were big 2nd year in my garden healthy specimens last year :-( American Halo and Anna Kulpa

| Hmmm...could the mini be Kinbotan? Or Kifukurin Otome, which reportedly has brighter, wider margins? I don't really know my minis very well, so I'm just throwing some names out there... |

Aha!!! I thought Kinbotan, Don! There might be hope for me yet. :) And as a comparison, my little new young plant:  |

| Well, in your first photo it looks like the hosta and fern are crowding each other, so I think I would move one of them. Christine |
|
| LOL Christine! It isn't a question of should I move it, it is should I keep it or dig it and toss it. Still trying to decide if it is a "garden worthy" plant. Alexa |

| Alexa, when I first glimpsed at the very first plant with that fern curling around the hosta, I thought it would turn into the VOLE! Sort of curled up and comfy on top of the plant, you know. So glad it was the fern. I rather like the two together, I'd leave them be, odd couple that they are. |
|
| I assumed the fern was hanging on in order to save the hosta from its uncertain fate. I agree with the fern -- it's keeper. Jan |
|
| LOL! Yes, I am battling voles this year, but I am not crazy enough to take pics of them.... YET! LOL! And the question is whether or not the hosta is garden worthy, the fern is staying! Thanks so much everyone :-) Alexa |
