To me the leaf in the jar looks to be June at an early stage. But yes I believe it is H.June. Gary

June leaves very a lot.. But they are seldom anything but stunning..

GE has a much rounder leaf.. at this age ...

you are comparing a young with a very old plant ...

i would kill for that old plant ... good i dont know where you live .. lol

the smaller leaf at 9 o'clock matches your to a T ...

Here is a pic of my June today. June, in my experience, is one the most variable hostas there are. Like a chameleon, it varies widely based on exposure, light conditions and moisture........You can have two in the same garden that look very different even.

I would LOVE my June to look like that!! The one at the Hosta farm where I got mine looked much like yours. Mine is quite yellow, nothing at all like yours. It looks more like ON Greenthumb's, only more yellow, with just a hint of green on the edges.

Yep, that's a 'June', and a BEAUTIFUL example of the variety. Enjoy it.

Boy that is a beautiful hosta.
Last night, I intended to check HostaLibrary.org for just one plant, and that led me to the MYHOSTAS.BE where I became lost in the Sports section.

One of the families that I was lost tracking from generation to generation of the family tree, was June. What a diverse group of hosta come from the same bloodlines (so to speak). I recommend it to anyone wondering what part of the family DNA is popping up in your particular hosta....June is a good example, with its great potential for variability.

Thanks Gary and leafwatcher and eclecticcottage for your comments. Thanks for posting the picture greenthumb. I think you all have just convinced me that the other 3 noids that I suspected might be June probably are....Ken your input is always appreciated too, and I would gladly let you have this June.....Come and get it any time! Probably a roadtrip for you as I live on the north shore of Lake Ontario

Hey Mocc, I didn't mean to leave you out. I think you were posting just as I was writing. There is also an interesting site in UK that has some great info on plant families and generally in their newsletters. Search Mickfield Hosta

Not to worry, Jag. I am aware of Mickfield Hosta, but haven't explored the site all that much. I like to see the leaf photos. Thanks for telling me there is more available than that.

By the way, I'll put a link here for you to a way to compare two hosta images side-by-side at the Hosta Library. Link below.
It's at the same website that hosts Don Rawson's Lists.

Here is a link that might be useful: Compare Hosta Library images

A little late to the party but...I wanted to say that I have three June and they all look different.

*waves across the lake at JagD51* HA! I live on the south shore!! How cool. I probably drove past you last fall. DH and I got an insane idea one day. Rather than just going to NOTL, which we had planned, lets drive all the way around the lake-in one day! Yeah, we'll not be doing that again! Some very beautiful areas after you get away from the GTA (I hate cities). Port Hope was like a step back in time, such lovely buildings.

Thanks Mocc for the link, that's cool. Chris- it's never too late to join the party, and ecclectic, if you were on Highway 33 you may have come right through our farm...next roadtrip?
