Hosta ID?

unknown

Hi, Does anyone know who this might be? May be difficult to ID before it blooms, but just thought I'd ask. I found this at a local nursery who grow some of their own hosta. Of course, none of them are labeled. The mother plant looks different than the new division. The photo doesn't do it justice. If you click on the pics you can see a bit larger version. The new division looks almost streaky and faded. And yes, I am going to divide them in their own pots. Any ideas? Thanks

'Alligator Shoes' came immediately to mind but I have not yet convinced myself. If out of that you got AS streaked, you are fortunate.

I was thinking it looks like my montana Ginrei but without the "blue". viewtopic.php?f=1&t=56736

But Viktoria you are right - it does look like AS.

Pizzazz/unknown comparison

Hi, I went out in the yard to compare it to hostas I own. This will also give you an idea of size. In the picture, Pizzazz is on the left, the unknown hosta on the right. The streaky offset/sport is on the bottom. I am glad I divided this hosta. When I went out to repot, a lot of the roots dropped off and were collapsed. The soil looked like mud. I lost almost all of the roots on the sport, and only a piece of the crown. No crown rot though. Five hours later and so far no wilting. If this blooms, I'll post pics. Thanks
