Lakeside Shore Master...always so neat and orderly. Bridegroom to left...Last Dance front right

Fire Opal...thank goodness for all the Gold Standard sports

Galaxy...has always kept its streaking for me...American Sweetheart to left was planted there to rescue and get a little sun,...time to move it. This area gets some salt from sidewalk in winter, but survives all right.

Aristocrat...been a long time favorite of mine....moved many times and survives in spite of me.

Fourteen Carat....a waxy yellow...I didn't figure size right...so extending into lawn a bit. Curly fries to right and behind. Primrose to the left has wonderful pink flowers in spring...and foliage is nice afterwards..likes to spread by roots and seed, so not good around minis,

Hoosier Dome...been slow to multiply, it's going to have to fight for room from its neighbor,...fringe and reverse cupping, what's not to like. I think that's Blue Mammoth above. For all the love of variegated hostas....solids still hold their own.

Ice Cream...gift from thisismelissa...nice colored small hosta, spreads a bit, but not aggressively. Always looks this good for me.

Olive Branch...another slow to multiply...love the unique colors. Blue Cadet to the left. The fern spreads by little bulblets...very prolific...but low profile as compared Ostrich fern.

Thanks for looking.

In your final picture, just above, what is the name of the hosta to the right and above Olive Branch. I think this looks like the one I was asking for help identifying the same day you talked about the "alien sporting " in on of your hosta. (Hope this is the same Paul)

Aristocrat is a favorite of mine, too. And that's a great description of Lakeside Shore Master, it is a fastidious hosta. Love your pics!

Can you help with this one Paul? Or anyone? I think it's Band of Gold. It is much larger than Patriot or Minuteman. Leaves are about 8x7-71/2.

Patriot and Minuteman are white or off white edges....Band of Gold margin starts yellow and can go whiter in season.

Don't know about size comparison.

Well this hosta does start with creamy and goes whiter in the season as you describe. I have tried to post a photo, but it's to late to take a photo! Thanks though because you have given me good info.

What a nice Aristocrat you have. Mine's been a slow grower. They all look good, and I like the lushness of your gardens.

Your LSM looks wonderful as does Galaxy. Aristocrat's leaves are dreamy...I finally stopped moving mine two years ago but I am still waiting for leaves like yours :-). So enjoying your pics!

Trying to determine if this is Band of Gold. Leaf is about 8" long and 7-71/2" wide on largest leaves. Coloring on edges emerge creamy yellow and turn white as the season progresses. This is one of my mystery hostas.
