| A friend gave me two big shovelfuls of this hosta 5 or more years ago and it is very happy living in this barrel where it drapes nicely over the rim. I know, I know, green with cream border=tough to ID. 7-8 vein pairs, no sign of scapes yet, I'm wondering about Antioch maybe?

| It could very easily pass as H. Fortunei Albomarginata |

| Now that's a happy looking hosta. In 5 years it hasn't bloomed? I thought they bloomed every year. Some of my new hosta are blooming and they are quite young. |

| Antioch! I have four of them and they look the same as yours. |

| I'm quite sure this hosta blooms - its just that this is the first year I have been tuned in to really noting times of bloom etc., and most summers I am away from mid-June to mid-Sept, so I miss many of them performing. I'll keep an eye out for blooms on this one, and unless they disprove the theory in the meantime I'll call it 'Antioch'. Thanks all. Jan |
