Shade Fanfare?

I don't recall having bought that one. I've lost the tag.

My first thought was Wide Brim but there are so many possibilities.

I thought Wide Brim had a darker leaf?

I don’t think Wide Brim; this is in shade. The green is darker, but the flowers are on very tall petioles in huge bundles. Very definitive.

Thanks Debra - that is very helpful for IDing Wide Brim.

perhaps a pic of the plant dry.. would help us with color definition ... and not in direct sun ...

Maybe So Sweet? The edges on your photo look a little more gold, but it's hard to tell with photos.

Obviously not So Sweet. It looks to be large leafed. It looks like my Fragrant Bouquet. Are the flowers fragrant? What color are they?

edit: I take that back. Fragrant Bouquet is not corrugated in my yard.

Could be First Moon.....but there’s only one photo of it in the HL hard to tell.

Thanks for all your comments and suggestions. Here are some photos under dry shady conditions and they is only one scape.

Thanks for all your comments. Here are some more photos - not blooming right niw

Shade Fanfare?

Katie Q?

Twilight?

I would just get that list of yellow margined hostas and check off names, might be easier if you remember whether name sounds familiar or not.

Linda, I keep a pretty good list and have checked this one against it ( my list is just a little over a hundred - nothing like some on this site). Problem is that I am a member of my local Hort Society and help out with the hostas for our plant market sale in the spring. Sometimes there are some we get that look too ratty to sell, aren't unfurled yet, or just don't sell for whatever reason. Often I end up taking these home to overwinter and nurse back to health for next year. Sometimes they are unmarked and due to Covid-19 we had no sale this year. So it is either a division of one I have that just looks really different in more sun or it is a division of a member of my Hort Society that looks so much better this year than last year. Quite often member's divisions are not labelled so it falls on a couple of us to make some guesses as to ID anyway. HL says Wide Brim is very shiny - my hosta is not (see added leaf shot). For Wide Brim, my flower looks nothing like the one Debra posted. Katie Q is a possibility as is Shade Fanfare.

Can you show a close up of the leaf poking out from behind in the last pic. It looks pretty funky (ink bleed). An ID might be moot if it has HVX

You can see that leaf better in the post above the last one. I am not an expert on HVX. Possible ink bleed, hard to tell from the photos.
