The second one looks like Sea Lotus Leaf. You must have great ditches where you live. Ours only have Queen Anne's Lace and golden rod. Also weeds and poison ivy.

It does, but more rounded, deeper corrugations and a lot prettier (I may be prejudiced) I don't have any of the progeny listed (maybe indirect, I have not gone back generations past what is in the Hosta Library). I take compliments wherever I can, but 'great ditches' is a new one for me.

Dug it out with my trusty Root Slayer.

About 15 inches across, 10 inches high. Watered it down and will leave it in the spot it is accustomed to until the Fall and put it in it's new home.

I have some Tokudama Flavocircinalis (fertile) very near and some very prolific sieboldiana 'Elegans' which with Tokaduma are the progeny of Abiqua. It seems very possible that this was how this hosta came to be. I have Drinking Gourd and another Abiqua variant closer to where this was so since there was no controlled pollination it's anyone's guess as to what the parentage of this might be. I don't know but I don't believe that even if an intentional pollination is performed that the result would end up with an identical hosta. Ken?

loaded the two Plain Jane Hostas

No 1 PJ

Smaller no. 2 PJ

Cut off a large overhanging branch to get more morning (what passes for it here) sun. OK, the thunderstorms are heading in that will be it for a while.

I like that rounded leaf one too..I love mother nature's gifts..I like the name Plain Jane!..if it's not a hosta name it should be..

The last post are hosta that self fertilized and grew. I named them Plain Jane just because they are simply big green hosta…..or what I call wild. It is catchy. I am going to call this my Plain Jane Area from now on.

I did realize you were calling the "regular" leaf ones Plain Jane..I stole your name "wilderness garden"..the guy and girl from a roofing company that came to our house were interested in the garden..I gave them a tour..when I told them I was working on log edging and creating paths and beds I said I'm calling this my wilderness garden..

I'm glad you like it. Very Apropoe (I had to look up the spelling).

both names are "Apropoe"..what a funny spelling!..I've never actually used that word even though I know it and it's meaning..going to my "free hostas" post to post pics..they're all planted!!..

Love that big round leaf, whatever it is!

Absolutely. That is what counts. The container is full of potting soil and is set just where it grew without the competition of being right next to a big Patriot Hosta. I'm hoping for (expecting) some good growth before moving it in the Fall. I was thinking it may have been entangled with the Patriot and I might have had to dig them up together and wash them off to get them disentangled. I dug around the outside of (how about 'Dinner Platters' for a name) and it pried out with a nice clean clump.
