Gayle,
Glad to see you on the upswing!
I can't help you on the hosta you are looking for but it sounds great so I'll have to get one when you figure it out LOL.
I had 2 or 3 that I was jonesing for last year and lost my printout wishlist so have spent alot of time searching random sources to see if anything rings a bell.
Did you try hostasdirect.com? They have a good site to shop by color, leaf texture,etc and it may help to look there.

Kiwi Full Monty?

OMG!!! Bunnycat, that's the one! Kiwi Full Monty!!!

If anyone cares, on the link to hostalibrary, it's the bottom/last pic that I've always coveted!

Thank you sooooo much!!
Gayle

Here is a link that might be useful: Kiwi Full Monty

LOL, well I have that one and it is one of my favorites. Don't know why I didn't think of it.
You'll love it!
Annette

Gotta love a blue Striptease!
I think someone mentioned recently finding them in a garden store at a reasonable price. Keep your eyes peeled. Glad you are happy in your new life! :o)

I have two of them side-by-side,and they grow like weeds! I wish mty Striptease grew as well! Phil

Hey chevy!!!!! How are you doing??? I'm glad to see you still on here.

Does Shade Tolerant come around anymore? Been keeping my eye out for her but haven't seen her name anywhere.

I see Papou out there!!!!!! I've missed you Papou!
Gayle

You will see Shade Tolerant and Papou around here, Papou posted the updated garden pics link just the other day, still beautiful as expected.
Last year one of my impulse buys was "Gypsy Rose", it has turned out to be one of my best. Get yourself one if you have the chance.

Annette

I got divorced too, it's great now. However I dug up all of my hostas ASAP and potted them up while I moved. Congratulations on starting over!
Kiwi Full Monty is a very nice one.
Dave

Still hanging around. I mostly read now, but still learn something new every now and then!
A new life for 2 of you on here!! Live evryday to the fullest!!

Still waiting for the full effect here in the tundra!!

Thanks for the welcome everyone, and glad to be back. I have been working on a blog since last fall. Mostly stuff about my daughter's toddler antics and the recent home purchase & outdoor projects. You can see that if you go to "My Page"...I added the link in there. No hostas yet.

I wish I had a hosta photo to post, but none at the moment. I do have a ton of ideas and plans for hosta & other shade plants. My house sits on a double lot in town. It's wooded & overgrown, and we've been living here a month now. No one has tended to the land for many years. This year I'm taming the madness & figuring out where all my future hostas will go. I spend my weekends chopping down misc overgrown shrubs, deformed trees, and demoing things.

I've also been working on a list of hosta I want to have again, hosta I won't have again, and of course a wishlist. I'll post my ramblings on that thought process when I get more time.

Welcome back, Gayle, we missed you.
