Mystery Hosta

15 years ago

The squirrels dug out the tags on some of my hostas I was going to sell this fall. For the most part I could still ID most of them, but this one I am having a hard time with. I am kicking myself, because I should know which one this is. I know it will probably be impossible, but if at least I have some suggestions it might rattle something inside my brain. It was a blue hosta that has started to turn green with sun. It has twists at the end of the leaves. It is almost done blooming.

YES! That's it! I checked the other in my yard and they have the same flowers, vein count, and coloring. The chipmunks have been out of control this summer, I think they multiple faster then rabbits. I finally had to put a snap trap out, and I caught a mouse the first night. Reloaded it, went back in the house for two hours, went to check on it, and the trap is completely gone! I'm thinking a chipmunk got in it, and then one of the hawks that lives in my yard flew away with it.
