Hosta of the Day - rectifolia Nakai

[redcrx]

This is a messy topic. There are 4 plants that look the same (in my opinion - rectifolia Nakai, rectifolia Chionea, Rohdeifolia and Ginbuchi Tachi not the big SILVER STAR version).

A note in the MyHosta database says

Probably the same as rectifolia 'Chionea'.

Those must be the same plant. I used to have Rohdeifolia and liked it very much, although (as evidenced here) its bloom scapes were just too tall for the scale of the plant. It was lost in our winter varmint (in the storage shed) attack.
