Andi, you have us waiting on the edge of our seats, wanting to see your sport. It's always exciting when you see a brand new hosta.

If you do not have an album at Flickr or Photobucket, you can upload ONE direct to Gardenweb when you post again.

oh crud you guys, now i'm embarrased. beauty is in the eye of the beholder you know. do have photobucket and if i get up enough nerve will take pics. also have a 'zounds' with many multiple varied seedlings under it.
'ain't it all just too much fun'

Is it a sport or a reversion?

Yeah, there's been a recent post here, well written, regarding the question of 'reversion'.

Nevertheless, it's the first thing I look at when noticing a 'sport'.

The infamous JOTN reverting for just about everyone is well documented here, as is, I believe, 'Green Revolution', my name, teehee.

I divided a neat looking sport from a 'Captain Kirk' a few years ago, but it is so similar to at least two other already recognized Hosta cultivars that I don't think it's significant or worthy of naming and registering, though I'd so much like to do so . . .

That's a very hard decision to come to, since most all of us want to introduce a new Hosta, but in reality, unless you're a big-a** TC plant, the odds of finding something really new and worthwhile is so slim, DARN!

fwiw,

ok, here is my 'sport', pretty ya think? now the bad part..mom is a noid (the green with white edge) but all hostas in this bed have been new hostas so maybe i buried the name by it. so we're just another pretty face in the garden, lol. should i dig it up and separate?

btw, i read up on sport vs reversion and couldn't make sense of it. leavin it for the big guys. andi

Oh my, another green and white margined one!!! Good luck figuring out who's this one's mama!

I really like that leaf in the first picture. Very nice.
Just making a comment, not offering any help sad to say.
Thanks for bringing the pictures to us.

That is truly neat! I know a year has just about passed, but I came across a sport recently too. I left mine in the ground to mature, and then dug it out when it developed 5 eyes. I just divided it and I hope she lives! Please post an update. That is gorgeous!

Shiba is giving good advice on this one. IF it re-appears the same next year (often sports don't), then carefully separate it from the mother plant and watch it for another year or so to see if it keeps all that wonderful variegation. Unstable is the word here.
