ok so who knows how to add the photo I must be an idiot!

You click on the little photo (camera) icon below the window where you're typing your comments... Then you'll get some choices of where to find your picture. Hopefully you have it saved somewhere - on the computer, or a cloud- based service like Dropbox, etc.

May depend on your browser and/or your device. Normally hitting the Photo icon will take you to your pictures and you click on the pic you want.

cant seem to add the photo from the computer I added a link to shutterfly would you be so kind to see if you can see it?

Don't see a photo or a link.

Oh, aha. I clicked on the link in your OP and I can see the photo. Unfortunately, I'm not the person to identify your hosta... Maybe TJ can....or one of the other more experienced hostaphiles.

the photo thing has me frazzled! Ive tried edge, chrome, brave ( new browser very fast)

omg it just worked damned it I know why.....

why do you say its a mini ... i suspect it wont be ...

did you buy it from a hosta seller.. or bigboxstore ... this goes to how rare it might be ....

i agree its way to early for an ID.. but wonder about the ubiquitous undulata??? .. which is a 2 dollar hosta ...

it was at a local nursery overwintered in a quart pot the tag fell out, the deer had a nibble, this place does carry mini I purchased blue mouse ears, hush puppies, cherish and pilgrim and cat's eye there over the years. I have several kinds of undulata ( free off the back of a landscapers truck and from freinds) the leaves on this are much thicker but not quite as thick as mouse ears the leaves are rounder too. I shall wait while it continues to recover. Thank You!!

could you post a picture showing the leaf tips?

I will try to post better pics tonite.

Susan this is the largest leaf.

SURPRISE WE HAVE BABIES! there are actually 2 tiny baby hosta

I would guess Night Before Christmas based on the growth and coloring, but it really isn't possible to ID a young one like this. I agree with Ken to wait until next summer to try and ID it.

Ct thank you for your help.... Do you think those tiny babies will make it?

Rhino Hide, the little babies are just new leaves coming up. Mine got upset about something and came up with tiny leaves like that all last year. This year the leaves are the size of your bigger leaves. The substance is very thick but not as much as BME.

Very attractive ... Agree with Rhino Hide

Thanks! I shall write both names on the other side of the tag that says 2.00 hosta :) so will remember it next year

Not Rhino Hide. Shape of the leaves is wrong. More consistent with Night before Christmas as Chris said. But time will tell.

that's why i'll put both on:) I figure it will look better next year with out being deer chewed. The nursery got hit, not me thank goodness.

It will be exciting to see how it looks next year!

How about Ken's 'ubiquitous undulata'? I also think it looks a lot like my undulata univitata, the small green sparkles in the white at the end of summer...My Night before Christmas is still flawless white...

I bought Christmas Candy (sport of CC, I think) as a bareroot hosta before the season started. It is possible that it may be that as well? Thought I'd throw that in the mix, lol.
