Can you give us a close up of the leaf? It looks like one of the Striptease group at this distance, but since I don't have it, I'm not sure.

The other question is how long has it been planted there?

Yes, a close up of the leaf and the plant itself. From way back here it has the look of h. Night Before Christmas. Can you also put something in the photo to help determine size? Like a ruler or pencil or beer can?

night before xmas ...???? ... also known as bud is wiser ...

you will never find anything in alpha mode .. there are like 4500 to go thru ...

google up the hosta library... and see if it matches the suggested name ...

its age might help ID it... whether its 20 years old.. or newish ... there are a lot of look alikes ...

we are in pretty bad shape.. when we get to relying on flowers.. lol

welcome

Oh, Ken, that is good..."we are in pretty bad shape.. when we get to relying on flowers.. lol"

Amazing really....when looking closely at so many leaf streaks and brush strokes...

Undulata univitata

Steve

i agree with steve.. on the close up ..

BTW... that is a center color.. NOT A STREAK ...

in the hosta world.. a streaker is something else ...

ken

There you go.

Good luck with your hosta.

don't look ethel ... especially if you can't roller skate in a buffalo herd ...

ken for president!

I'm with you.

Ken for president!

Oh, wait...... ken for president!

Hmmm...and i thought it was a stripper or a streaker...
its all nude to me.
I did go out early this morning and check for slugs...without pants.

Hosta-ville seems friendly i think...most elder forums, established with inside jokesters...
treat newcomers as if they are walking into your dinner hour...un-invited...

I'm off to the shrubers for another ID... : )
( is president Ken a shrub guy? )

Ken has been around forever. He has a very dry wit. He knows his plants and shares willingly. He's active on many forums, not just the hosta forum. We like to pick on him because he can take it AND dish it out.

he has a unique writing style...never uses capital letters...and never writes in..... complete sentences...therefore he is ken..not Ken.

Welcome to the forum. Please join us. We all love hostas. That's what we have in common.

Maybe you are right. Maybe we have too many inside jokes.

I've watched and learned from a distance...
I actually am well aware of Ken and think i would like him as a neighbor...
Hilarious and short and curt or we might say in NYC, straightforward with a bit of
sand tossed in...

but i don't have complete sentences either....

Believe me,Ken is different in person,than he is sarcastic on the forum! I met him in person last year,and he is very personable. Hope that doesn't take away your mystique,Ken! Phil

I always thought he would be personable. I think he is on the forum. I like sarcastic, though.

Here is a link that might be useful: Corner Gas

Thank you for that link, Bkay. Never heard of that one. I want to see the whole series. I enjoy sarcastic too.

It's ken's link from another thread.

bk

The link was Ken's? Well I guess I will withdraw my comments from years ago that he couldn't find his "shift" key and was playing in a sandbox. My apologies.
