Its not Guacamole. Drinking Gourd or a Tokudama of some kind maybe.

looks kinda big for ADG ... or its look alike love pat ... though you have no scale there .. so who knows

ken

shape and vein count are right for ADG

leaf size looks like sea lotus leaf...but vein count is wrong

vein count of a single division is questionable ... you peeps should always qualify such stuff ...

vein count is CLOSE ... AT MATURITY ... and a single division is never mature.. IMHO ...

mind you.. it puts you in a ballpark.. its just not definitive ...

since all blues.. MUST HAVE sieboldiana or tokudama in the gene pool.. they ALL must have a vein count near that gene pool ... especially within the same size family ... obviously.. a mini is not going to have the vein count of a giant ... but then its vein count would be on the other side of the family.. the gene for small size ... since most
S/T's are large to giant ...

Here's the size of the leaves. Right one is about 8 inches long. I just looked at my Love Pat, and these leaves are larger and less blue. Color looks the same as my ABG.

For those who know Meijer, that's where I got it.

Can't see the cupping from these shots. But it looks to me like Big Daddy. Especially the two mature leaves.

Here's the Big Daddy leaf shot from the Hosta Library.

I agree with Steve on Big Daddy. I have a ADG that is huge, but it's leaves are cupped right from the get go and it's more green.

Well, I certainly got my exercise walking back and forth between this one and BD and then ADG. I think I just might keep this one. Both BD and ADG are way in the back of the garden, this one's up front.

I complained about this one all last summer (thinking it was Guacamole)! I'll have to get the other misfits out of this bed and find homes for them!

I have a 4 year old 'Sea Lotus Leaf' that could be its twin. My leaf size is close to 10-1/2 x 10" with upward curled, slightly wavy margins. It is one of the more sustaining blueish greens I have. Leaves are deeply veined and heavily corrugated. It is a rather upright hosta. Of my hostas it has the most unique habit in that the leaves tend to maintain a very horizontal posture even though the petiole are upright. Are the flowers almost white and on very short scapes?

Les, I don't remember it blooming last year. Here's the only picture I have of it from last year. I'll have to keep an on eye it when it brings up a scape.

I did a little detective work on this one. I found the Guacamole tag that came with this plant. It came from Sawyer Nursery in Hudsonville (a few miles from me). I got a list of their hostas that they had last year. The only hosta on their list that comes close to looking like this one is Big Daddy.

Steve, you got this one right. It's a Big Daddy!

Now, I've found three other of their hostas that in my garden that are mislabeled. I'll be contacting both Meijer and Sawyer Nursery to make a little complaint.

No more shopping at Meijer for hostas. And, I'll have to check out my hostas I bought at Lowes (before I knew about HVX and big box stores) since Sawyer Nursery supplied all of their hostas too.
