Gold Standard? What is the "substance" like? Where is Bruce Banyai when we need him?

Wondering if this could be Stained Glass? She's a beauty!

Doesn't Stained Glass have wider more floppy leaves? Those look firm but who in the world can feel them thru a computer...trying, trying, trying. ;-)

In addition to Babkas observations SG has shiny leaves to boot...not Stained Glass and I wish I knew what this one is because it is a VERY NICE Hosta!

It looks like Paul's Glory to me. It isn't Gold Standard, as the margin in blue. The look of Paul's Glory changes a lot during the season and with light exposure. Also, as old as Paul's Glory is, changes/mutations change the look of it from breeder to breeder.

A young Stained Glass would look like that, but would get rounder, floppier leaves as it matures. I lost mine in the great die off, so don't have anything to compare it to. In my photos, SG looks green, not blue.

This is not a great photo, but it shows a typical Paul's Glory fairly early in the season in a good bit of sun
.

Maybe Inniswood. What color are the flowers?

This is my most mature Paul's Glory.

It grows in shade for most of the day.

3 PG's all taken today, all different degrees of sun. All bloomin.

When I saw your photo mbug, I said "that looks like my Paul's Glory!"

Mine on the left, yours on the right:

The first Hosta I thought of when I saw your pic was Paul's Glory as well.

Here is mine.

Could it be paradigm?

Thanks for the great suggestions. Not Stained Glass or Gold Standard for sure. Really looks like Paul's Glory, but for the life of me I can't remember getting one. I have a PG in my front yard but it's in heavy sun, so looks completely different.

Anyone else think it might be Paradigm? I did get a nice size Paradigm last year but thought I lost it over winter. I could of moved it to this location and not remember....that happens more and more lately...LOL

I think Paradigm as well. These are hard to tell apart. There are many look alikes for Paul's Glory as well.

Looks just like my Paul's Glory.

It doesn't look like Paradigm to me - here's mine for comparison.

It does look remarkably similar to many of the Paul's Glory pics. What is bugging me are the lighter green streaks I see in your pic.

8 votes for PG!

It looks nothing like ConnieMay's Paradigm.
