if its leaves were the same basic size as the tiara standard.. then probably ...

anyone know if the flowers match gold tiara ...

of course.. a gold plant in too deep shade can also green up ... but based on the plants around.. i dont suspect that ...

Thanks Ken.

I cannot find any image online (Hosta Library, this forum, Google, Bing etc.) or in my 'The Hostapedia' book for comparison. Do you have better luck by any chance?

I have an entry in my plant collection database for this name but the status is marked as 'Lost in the Garden', and this plant has lost its name tag.

Hi garcanad- All I can find (from Mark Zilis' Field Guide to Hostas) is that Lime Tiara is a second generation sport of Golden Tiara.

Emerald Scepter is a sport of Golden Tiara. Lime Tiara is a sport of Emerald Scepter.

No pics, but the flowers would seem consistent. Does this mean you will be joining in on the Alphabet?

p.s. The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy Guest Shadrack and Michael Shadrack list it as light green, again no pic.

Hi peren.all

Thanks for your help. It just seems odd that no picture at all on the internet or books; must be an unworthy cultivar.

I really enjoy the Alphabet posts. I hesitate to post my pic partly because I was careless in identifying my hostas until recently, and partly because of the severe drought this year I didn't take too many decent pic.

looked in library for ES ... found this sport ... no pic... ken

garcanad I think it is a very nice Hosta - not unworthy at all. There are over 10,000 and I am sure there will be more pics available in books and online soon. Perhaps yours will make it into the Hosta Library.

I recall a few Hostas being mislabeled in the Alphabet. Those usually got IDed. If you would enjoy posting some of your pics to the Alphabet I am sure we would all like to see them.

The drought and heat this year was brutal. Even when it rained in surrounding areas it missed me, Due to circumstances I could not water early season and by the time I could have I was concerned about the well. We had relatively little snow over the winter so I knew the water table was already low going into the drought. Hoping for a more "normal" upcoming year.

Thanks for the encouragement.

My irrigation pond went dry for the first time by the end of August. It was painful to have to decide which plants to let go and which to save with the remaining little water; like deciding which kids to leave in the fire to save the others.
