My friend wants to know the name of this plant from a picture she saw on facebook. That's all the info I have. Do you know the plant in the round container?

I've got a couple Hosta that have what could look like dark sheaths.

Fire Island (has red petioles):

Golden Tiara:

(It lives directly under the forsythia.)

Obviously, the plant in question is much bigger than these two, but they're examples for the brown sheaths question.

Looks like it's just unfurling, but I'm thinking Hosta.

I would say not much doubt about it being a hosta. And I've grown a few over the years myself :-) In fact, I have a couple of containerized ones that right now look almost identical to the photo.

My first thought was hosta but some of the leaf edges almost look to be serrated.
