It could be the classic 'Birchwood Parky's Gold', or it could be something else.

Not BPG, it has no ruffles, just flat leaves.

It's hard to tell, as I'm not an expert. But, it might be Squash Casserole. Mine was new last year and this pic is from last year. It's more ruffled this year. If it's Squash Casserole, the purple blooms are the perfect color to contrast with the chartreuse of the leaves. Even my color blind DH could see it. (the color of the blooms in the photo is not true to life)

It could be Dancing Queen, too. If so, it will turn green up in the summer.

The other two stay chartreuse.

This is clearly a smaller hosta (noting the spent woodruff blooms nearby). Is this on your (long) list of hostas? Process of elimination could make this easier.

I went outside to look at the yellows I have. There sat Dancing Queen. It's somewhat similar.

I tried to blow it up the hosta in question to count the veins, but it went blurry, DQ has 11, SQ has 12-13 and BPG has 8 to 10.

That's the limit of my yellow hosta that could vaguely be similar.
