It's a pity that there are a lot of interesting hosta coming out now with these problematic "recumbent" scapes. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing this one grow up.

One flower opened today. This is a weird looking flower colorwise. And I think a spider got into the pollen and spread it across the flower on its web.

A few more photos - it hit me that this plant looks like 'Red Alert'. I went back to the Database and 'Lady Luck' does have a longipes background BUT I was thinking 'Red Alert' was from longipes and it's not - it's from 'Katsuragawa Beni'. Then what was I thinking of that is longipes with a white edge??? Hmmm, maybe it was 'Fall Dazzler'.
