Do you know my name?

It is small hosta, several years old, note brick edging on the bottom for size.

    My first thought was Pandora’s Box but the leaves look too long for that. Interesting reverse variegation going on at 11 o’clock.

    Most of my hostas are from specially sellers. Have not bought small hostas in about 2 years. I think I had leftovers of Masquerade surviving somewhere, not very robust hosta in my garden.

    Out of my notes, I bought Dawes, Morning light, LS A go go, Peppermint ice, Champagne for all .... similar in look. Am sure missing on something

    It is about 12" wide and yes gotta look for that strange leaf.

    Could it possibly be Christmas Candy????? Young one?

    It does not feel like tet. Maybe in a year I gess I will see what it looks like.

    Oh and that strange leaf was a piece of Sultana which I did not separate well.

    Is it more yellow in the spring? It does look a lot like my Dawes or Peppermint Ice.




    I'd lean towards Dawes out of those two.

    Unfortunately didnot pay any attention. Will kerp in mind to take early pics. Thank you for pics! I might have to start visiting lots of gardens next year, sometimes it is just matter of seeing plant and just like that recognition comes.

    Little Treasure?

    If it is not a small thing, maybe Undulata undulata mediovariegata?

    It is small but no mini. Compare to LS downsized. Regular brick as edging.

    I wonder if it could be Calypso?

    I think peren may have hit it on the dot! Calypso looks like it to me.

    Little Treasure is thicker leaves (tet?) and much narrower leaves also more blue edge.

    I will keep my eyes open for the bloom. It is certainly a possibility. I ordered from Homestead perennials in the past and they had Calypso.

    It just I do not remeber seeing this hosta whatever its name in my previous garden.

    I also think it is possible I separated LS knicknack stable form and darn thing grew into this.

    I was just browsing old Alphabet pics. I might be coming from wrong angle here. Some of my hostas did not do well during move and diminished to minies. This might be be the case when someting did not do well and on its way to recovery.

    Newhostalady posted pic of youngish LS Love affair which looked pretty similar. So I just have to wait and see.

    It does look similar to mediovariegata. lavendar flowers?
