I don't agree with several of your labels...notably Sagea. But since the pictures are not numbered nor is there any way to put a comment on photobucket, Kodak gallery might work better for your purposes.

#1 .. niagara falls

2 the white edged one.. lol.. undulata albo marginata ...

last picture.. lakeside san kao?

Ken,

Wow! Niagara Falls and Lakeside San Kao looks like a right on spot guess. :-)

If H.undulata albomarginata is the same name for H.fortunei albomarginata than #2 is definitely not it. It's much-much smaller and blooms about 3 weeks later than albomarginata with DEEP purple buds opening to dark-dark lavender flowers.

Lindac,
With which labels in particular you don't agree?
Re: Sagae. I was kind of suspicious myself, but was informed that you can't judge many hostas by their first year appearance/performance. The least I know, it was bought from the reputable local nursery where mislabeling is a verey-very rare case.
Does it look like a young Sagae?

#1 agree with Ken, Niagara Falls.
The second white edged one with purple flowers could be Ginko Craig. They have to be dark purple flowers. Those buds look really dark purple. It doesn't look wavy enough to me for Undulata albomarginata.
#3 Moonlight, Sea Deam, American Dream, Harmonica, Lakeside Cha Cha, Shade Fanfare, St Elmo's Fire are gold centered white edged. Moonlight gets gold late and leaves a green line between the gold and white and looks exactly like Patriot's fire. Especially in Ken's garden! Shade Fanfare doesn't stay very gold, gets green as the season goes on. St. Elmo's fire copies Sea Fire in color, gets green center. My first thought was Shade Fanfare in spring.
#4 could be August Moon, pretty hard to tell. Zounds if you knew you bought it would be consistent.
#5 Looks like Ken's Lakeside San Kao, which I do not have yet. I also thought of Sea Gulf Stream, but don't think that's it.

The 'young sagae' pic you posted doesn't look at all like mine did the first year or two. The leaves on mine are much broader. But... maybe I'll find that mine was mislabled.... anyway, here is my youngun'

dbowemd,
#2 is not a Ginko Craig. I have it as well and it's different

However you guess for #3 as a Shade Fanfare is pretty close. I have another very small one with positive ID and they look very-very similar. Thanks.

I went out to make a current picture of #5 and now I'm convinced that Ken was correct, it's a Lakeside San Kao with prominent green veins and a shampagne color as described everywhere. When and how I got it still remains a mystery as I never buy fancy names that are not mentioned here several hundred times a month.

One more of NOID
#6. Looks like an Albomarginata, but with pure white flowers

#2 looks a lot like Groundmaster. And #6 looks like one of the many edged plantaginea hybrids like So Sweet, Sugar and Cream, Iron Gate Delight,etc. Are the flowers fragrant?

Depending on the color of the scapes and the size of the hosta, I think either San Kao and/or #1 could be squash casserole...and again depending on size and the flower what you have labeled as Zounds could be August Moon.
Another vote for the theory that there are only 100 hostas but 3,000 names.

toymr2mk2,
Right on a spot, flowers are very fragrant, though I never thought to put my nose in before you said so.
Now I remember looking at 'So Sweet' while shopping and I must have bought it then. LOL.

Linda C,
'There are only 100 hostas but 3,000 names.'
How true!
The same theory is applicable to hydrangeas (at least for macrophillas for sure).
Anyway, what I should be looking for to define August Moon from Zounds?

I vote that "Zounds" is also August Moon.

#5 could also be Sea Gulf Stream. :)

Thank you all who replied.
I renamed Zounds for August Moon, gave #1 a Niagra Falls, #3 a Shade Fanfare, #5 a Lakeside San Kao and #6 a So Sweet tentative names.
The only identity of #2 is still uncertain, so if you don't mind I'll show it again later when in bloom.
Thanks again.

How about Yellow Splash Rim or Scooter for #2?

I'm sorry to resurrect this thread, but #2 still have no ID and all previous guesses for it wasn't...hm...hm...presize :-)
Here is another picture of it as of today, maybe flowers will help to ID. It's pretty much in full sun from 11am till 4-5pm and doing pretty well if it helps to ID.
Note two daylilies (SdO and Grace Stamile) next to it, so you'll have a sense of scale.

In your last pic, what is that great looking plant front (well almost front) and center?

if you dont recall buying a lakeside... what about jimmy crack corn for the big yellow ...

and for the green and white.. a REAL OLDIE .... decorata?

ken

I agree with toymr2mk2 for #2 - it looks very much like my Ground Master.

My #2 came 4 years ago from the Costco bag labeled 'various miniature hostas', so it could be anything from old or new cultivars.
Ken, #2 would of match H.decorata description if it wouldn't be only 6-8" tall instead of 12-15" as written everywhere.
toymr2mk2 and jenlaurel, at first I disposed the Groundmaster idea because leaves don't have prominent wavy edges(undulation?) and it blooms so late, but now after looking at it more closely I see some minor waveness. All other parameters are in line. Thanks. I let it be a tentative 'Groundmaster'.
iowa_flower_nut, are you asking about that yellow grass?
If so, it's Hakonechloa macra 'Aureola', probably the slowest grower of all Hackone grass family. This clump is 5-6 years old.

ok ... i was laying down irrigation tape today .... touched about 450 hosta ...

and .. drum roll please...

#2 is crispula ... or i should say.. looks exactly like my crispula.. which looks nothing like the pix in the hosta library .. go figure on that ...

anyone else have crispula out there?????

what does yours look like?

ken

cornell webpage.. looks like mine.. not the library's ... ken

Here is a link that might be useful: cornell web page

Number 2 could be either Neat Splash Rim or Yellow Splash Rim. I can not tell the differance between the 2 plants from the description and pictures on the Hosta Library (I know there must be one) and I wish I could because I have 2 large clumps of this or that!!
Vicki

I went out and counted the veins on both of my clumps of hosta that look very similar to your No.2 picture and I guess I have to say that my plants are Neat Splash Rim. You might want to do the same and maybe you will find an answer.
Vicki

OK, I went out and randomly snapped 5 leaves.
All five have 9 veins (4 on each side + the middle one)
What gives?
