here is the description I find for this hosta and mine doesn't seem to match.

OK... sport of 'Three Sisters' ... now if I only had some idea what 'Three Sisters' is!

Haven't ever seen or heard of either of these...

Hmmm.....the large part seems to fit and I do see a bit of gold.

I don't know what Three Sisters looks like either. I'm going to have to look those two up.
