Re: Hosta Identification 3
Walt, descriptions go on and on about the vividness of the yellow and how people remark on it, etc . I don't think this is a match. This is a greenish-gold. I'm not even sure I would call it a full-on gold. Hmmm

Kikutii caput-avis?
Reading the description in the old Hosta Handbook and looking at the photo it actually seems like a good match. I have that one on my list of hosta I purchased and cannot find in the yard.
13" long by 5/1/8" wide; shiny , medium green; very shiny underside; blade elliptic with a wedge-shaped base and long, narrow tip; blade arches from just above the base, creating a drooping effect; margin noticeably rippled, about ten per side; smooth texture, better than average substance; 10-11 vein pairs. Flowers mid-August into September; lavender; 2 1/8" long by 1 1/8" side; 38" long scapes that hang downward, fertile.
Scapes are noted to be pendulous (YES!)
