    Thank you for your help, and I apologize for the bad picture. I really am not quite sure what I’m doing! I rearranged and re-planted quite a few of my hostas, and then of course lost track of which ones were which.

    I have four of these, so I split them at some point. I hope this picture helps. Thank you so much

    Well this picture is just as bad. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

    I have this which was labeled as Frozen Margarita, but I don’t actually think that it is. It’s very big, but the pictures of frozen margarita that I’ve seen are all green.

    Your "froarita" isn't Frozen Margarita, assuming that the photo is current. Two reasons -Frozen Margarita has a white edge and is a fragrant hosta. Fragrant hosta don't bloom until late in the season and yours already has seed pods.

    I'm not very good at identifying hosta that I've never had. However, if that's a current photo, i's probably has fortunei genes. They bloom early in the season.

    As ken said, look up fortunei (and Frozen Margarita) in the hostalibrary.org. The A to Z listings are alphabetically arranged photos of lots of hosta. It will show you multiple photos of a given plant, along with photos of the flowers. At myhostas.be, (there is usually a link to the myhostas.be on the library page) they will tell you the history of the plant, the bloom time, size of leaves and mature plants and descriptions from various growers.

    As an aside, don't go shopping on the hosta library, as many of the hosta shown there are not for sale in the commercial environment.

    edited to add: I was wrong about fortunei bloom time. I looked up fortunei aureomarginata on myhostas.be. They are July/August bloomers. So, the information about bloom time of fortunei is incorrect.

    I wonder if the one labeled as Froarita could be Climax.

    I searched through my 8 pound Hosta encyclopedia and thought Climax was a possibility as well. I buy my hostas and apparently place too much trust on the tags. 😕 Thank you all for your help.
