Probably is. But you have a plant that is unstable...cut off the all green leaves, as they will dominate.

It looks like GM to me as well.

Yes!!!

My first impression was that it was GM but the leaves at 11 and 4 o'clock have me thinking it might be Guardian Angel.

Babka is right- get that reverting eye off, saving as much of the roots as you can for the GM.

I'm forever "saving" the green eye, but it's really not a good idea. I've got several boring all green reverted hostas looking for a home. Not that it stops me, I just "saved" two more, forever hopeful that this time it will be something interesting.

Babka, I don't know why, but I just hadn't thought about removing the green eyes. I guess I was thinking the eyes were immature and would develop their coloring later on. So you are thinking I should just cut them off without disturbing the roots? That does sound like a good idea.

Irawon, I agree with you that at this stage it is still not 100 percent conclusive whether this is a Golden Meadows. I think next year will be the big year and will remove any doubt once and for all!

Madplanter1, are you suggesting I remove the two eyes with their roots? It is getting quite hot outdoors now. Would you suggest I wait until August to separate? What do you think of just cutting off the blues?

Last year my potted Great Expectations grew a blue eye. Because of its size, there was no way I could remove the one eye and the roots too. So I just ripped the blue out as far down as I could. This year the blue did not reappear. Maybe cutting/ripping the blue out on this GM (I am being positive on the ID!) would be the way to go.

And, by the way Irawon, regarding my GE, it was mentioned on another thread that you may like to get in touch with me to ask specific information about how I grew GE in a pot. Just email me, if you like, and I will try to help. That goes for anyone . . . anytime.

NHL, how is GM fairing this year? Any return of the green eyes?

I have a h. 'Titanic' which developed a yellow eye. I did not need another 'Sum and Substance', so I ripped the whole shoot out. This yellow shoot never repeated, so ripping out is good enough, which then leaves the roots for the plant.

So far, so good, but very slow!

Four eyes in total, but two are very tiny. It could also be that one or both will be blue.

NHL: GE looks good so far! I love the different colours in it. Your creamy center is beautiful! I can't believe how big the leaves on mine are this year. Probably 50% bigger than last year. You sometimes wonder what happened.

Here is a leaf shot of GM:

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!!!!
