Hosta Identification 2

Post by ademink »

Purchased approx 10 years ago. Really good substance but not Tokudama Aureonebulosa thick. 17-19 vein pairs. Had faint variegation when it emerged in the spring (third photo). For some reason, I am obsessed with this hosta. (Close up current leaf pics in 2nd post)

That's funny - I have one that looks the same. I have had it for years. No idea of the name. Blue Umbrellas has been suggested.

Wow!! It does look like it! You even have some of the more narrow leaves mixed in like mine is.

What is the vein count on your mature leaves?

Yours is awesome!

Looks like it isn't a match to mine. Mine solidly has 17-19 veins ...leaning toward 19. Hmmmm
