Okay, here is one I uploaded directly from my camera - no identifier in sight. I bought it this year just because I couldn't resist it. I knew nothing about it, except that it was adorable. Can you guess?

I am going to guess it is a juvenile June.There are a few variances of June and my guess it is one of them.Phil

I can see hostapumpkinman's point about coloration. The shape is more like Remember Me, which is an offspring of June. Could it be?

It sure looks similar to my baby Touch of Class (also a June sport).

I cheated and looked at your Photobucket. I'm not sure anyone will guess it since it's still somewhat uncommon, but it's a lot of fun trying! In any case, it's a beautiful hosta. Make sure to post some pics in the next year or two as it matures.

Don, I assumed that someone computer savvy would do just as you did, but thanks for not revealing the name. The guessing goes on. I'll check back later.

Loisf,
It looks a lot like my H.'Dylan's Dilly' if it is a mature specimen.....

I love the ones which have streaks of dark blue on a green leaf...like Tok. Aureonebulosa...Blue Shadows...etc. Here is one with that coloration that is still unavailable:

Holy Grail (sport of Hadspen Blue)

Don, what a beauty! Hadspen Blue is such a great hosta. Let's hope that Holy Grail will be too.

The name of the mystery hosta is Winfield Mist. It's a sport of Winfield Blue discovered by Mark Zilis in 2003. Good guesses, everyone. It could easily have been any of those.

Someone else's turn now to post Name That Hosta #2. Don, how about you? Or Denny? Or Jim? Hey J? Carol? Ken?
