This was from a friend. About 18" across. My guess it's a pretty common Hosta, no clue on a name.

A very quick guess at Fortunei aureomarginata an old (but very reliable and good Hosta). Was known as Gold crown

If it is Fortunei a it will set no seed pods... but the colors are a bit too light green to me, then our climas are different.
Think Jim is correct

I was thinking the same as the guesses above: First guess would be Abiqua Moonbeam, second guess Fortunei Aureomarginata

Looks like Abiqua Moonbeam to me too. One of the first hostas I ever ordered.
