The big one is beautiful, but doesn't look like 'Gold Standard' to me. Too much white on the back of the leaves. Looks more like 'Bright Lights'. If it has good white blooms in June (the month) then it isn't 'GS'.
Do you know the Hosta Library (www.hostalibrary.org) ? Look at pictures of 'Bright Lights' by Hank Zumach (a regular visitor here).

I don't think Bright Lights can get that big in 8 to 10 years, maybe ever.
My second thought was Paul's Glory, I don't know if it was available 10 years ago. Also, was it bought at a nursery that specialized in unusual hostas, or had pretty common ones?

I went to look at mine,... it's from Chris, so I'm sure it is correct
Can be the pic, but the margins are more bright on mine and the white back side shows of more this time of year
Wir sind 80 oder so miles from each other.. you can figure that out
Glad to join the confusion
Where did you get the hosta ?
Love the second pic of your garden... just beautiful

Hello u!...
Thank u for your help but i´m not sure if my plant is really gold Standard...... The leaves are "crinkled" ( don´t know the name in english..... ) .
But here I´ve got a new Riddle for you....
I also don´t know the name of this one.... .. Its 4 or 5 Years in my garden. Thougt it could be Blue Arrows- but than I saw pics of blue A. and the leaves are a bit longer than these on my plant...what do you think??
Here are Fotos from today:
Heigh is nearly 50 cm .
And this one I also don´t know the name- must be a Standard Hosta- becaus I´ve got it from a local market 10 years ago- may you can help me again..??????:
Its the really big one ( nearly 60 cm) on the left side:
....So thats enogh of my "unknown Hostas"....
I thank u a lot for helping me finding the names of it...

The blue one could be Devon Blue: no signs of slug damage, slightlx wavy, pretty blue, good grower.
The green/white one might be fortunei albomarginata. Correct me if i'm not right.

fortunei albomarginata if it do not set seedpods
crispula if it set a lot of seedpods
My Krossa Regal is not as tall as I think it should be... but maybe more than 50 cm around 10 inch
most of the tardianas are rather low..30 to 40 centimeter

The first one, maybe Paradigm or Darwin's Standard.
The tall blue one, perhaps Krossa Regal?
The last green with white edge, I agree with planwerk.
