Ok... found that info myself. I just hadn't looked in the right spot. So.... Revolution is a sport of Loyalist. Loyalist is a sport of Patriot. Patriot is a sport of Francee. Francee is a sport of Fortunei Hyacinthina. So, finally, we get to solid green. Except my solid green 'Revolution' is nothing like Fortunei Hyacinthina so I guess that's a dead end. Maybe I should take a photo to post.

go back to the library .. and just above the pix .. is a link to myhosta.net.. which will give you all you need... then back to loyalist.. until you get back to green

Here is a link that might be useful: link

ok.. you got it ...

but its thickness might mean its a tetraploid .. which wouldnt revert back to a diploid.. at least i dont think so ...

so back to my link... and look in the right margin... for progeny .. and see three sports listed ... gg means green center green edge.. ergo.. all green ...

you are catching on.. keep up the good work

"So, finally, we get to solid green. Except my solid green 'Revolution' is nothing like Fortunei Hyacinthina so I guess that's a dead end."

Sports are sports and turning to green is a sport and may look very close to what ever the plant sported from but it is not the first plant in the sporting process.

It is a sport or in this case a green sport.

I also have separated off a green "sport" of Revolution. The leaf shape and substance seem identical to Revolution. The Revolution sport Total Eclipse is fascinating, but not what I have. I can't find a photo of Elizabeth DeBird, the other registered sport of Revolution. Does anyone have a photo of or can anyone describe Elizabeth DeBird?

Lois, by the sounds of it, solid green sports of Revolution seem to be a common occurrence. I had one develop on one of mine last year and this year, and it is most definitely a sport and not a reversion. Revolution seems to be quite unstable for me, and for a lot of others by the sounds of it.

The leaf shape is different from Revolution, it is more rounded, and for my own reference purposes I have dubbed it 'Green Revolution'. I have some pictures of a couple of different ones and will post those later today. It looks nothing like Hyacinthina at all, either in shape or colour, so it is not a reversion but, as Butch said, it's a sport. Having said all that, there is no denying it's heritage. It's vigorous, and blooms at the same sort of time as Hyacinthina.

This is Midnight Ride, a sport of Paul Revere. The leaves are very thick and darker green than it looks here.

Mary Ann that is worth introducing, nice!

I like the name, "Midnight Ride." That's way cool.

Thanks, MaryAnn and Pieter. I think I will dig my little "Green Revolution" out of the deep shade where it is languishing and bring it out with the rest of its hosta friends. It will be a while before it is big enough to compare to the Hosta Registry. After seeing MaryAnn's fantastic Midnight Ride, I got inspired. What a beauty! I'm anxious to see your photos, Pieter.

Lois, this is the one from last year. As you can see, a large enough piece of the original Revolution crown was left on to make it re-appear again this year. It's high time I split off the all green section again.

And this is what the inflorescence looks like:

Right now I cannot seem to find a picture of the smaller one I divided from a different plant earlier this year. I'll make a point of taking some shots of it over the next couple of days. BTW, both divisions see mostly sun during the day

The all green portions certainly get larger and are more vigorous. I had a similar thing happen with Ice Age Trail, although I believe IAT "reverts" to Big Daddy, while Revolution has "sported." Thanks for the photos, Pieter. My Green Revolution looks just like a smaller version of yours.
