This one is a real beauty that should be in everyone's garden. It actually gets quite large over a period of time.

Don,
I will guess Paul's glory or September Sun. Denny |

| Paradigm would be my guess, too. |

This one is not September Sun or Paradigm, although it is equally as beautiful. It has a slightly narrower and more even margin than Paradigm.
Here's a pic of my Paradigm for comparison:

Could it be one of my very favorite green margined hosta--
'Dick Ward'? |

| How about Inniswood or Bright Lights? |

| Yeah, I wondered about 'Bright Lights', too, Lois, after I posted my guess of 'Dick Ward'!! |
RE: Name That Hosta #19

| Midwest Magic is my guess. |

Loisf guessed it... Inniswood. It's been around for a while...found in Inniswood Metro Gardens, Ohio in 1993.
Nevertheless, IMHO Inniswood is one of the best. MyDatabase says, "Large gold quilted leaves with a green margin...a stunning plant when mature...one of the most spectacular hostas every introduced!"
Without looking at the registration, can anyone tell us where Inniswood came from? A seedling of...? A sport of...?
Does anyone else have pics of Inniswood they could post? |

Errr, uhhh, blush!! No, I SHOULDN'T have known, based on having 'Inniswood' because I just
got one this year and it's small! The one I am showing is actually---'Paradigm'! I'm sorry! Gulp!! Obviously--I wasn't thinking straight last night! Crawling back under my rock, for now! |

| Don, I can post this photo of a very young Inniswood that lost a battle with its name tag and ended up with a torn leaf (which usually is no big deal, except that it has so few). Someday I hope it will look like yours.

Notice that the leaf margin of Inniswood is narrower than on Paradigm, Dick Ward, and Polar Moon.
