Hosta Identification help

[hostaanita]

Does anyone have any idea which hosta this is . It starts out with a very faint chartreuse border . The underside of the leaf is white . Average texture. Would really appreciate your help.

I'm sorry I don't recognize that one. That white back should help someone make an id, though. Hopefully someone while know it.

It's got me stumped, too. You could try posting it to the "American Hosta Society" facebook group page. Add in anything else you know about the plant: leaf size, where it might have come from, how long it has been in that place, etc.

Or try working your way through this very long list of white-backed hostas. http://www.hostalists.org/hosta_list_wbh.php

I think I got it figured out...Royal Flush . Saw it in another garden ...looks like it.

I'll take a look at mine, but the center on my Royal Flush is thinner.

This one still intrigues me so I'm going to keep looking...

Your hosta is cerainly not Royal Flush. Maybe the other garden has it labeled wrong? Royal Flush has a broad gold margin, heavily corrugated (textured) leaves, and no white backs.

Do you know about the Hosta Library? http://www.hostalibrary.org Use it to compare authentic pictures to any names that you or others might come up with.

I have seen that leaf before - my Collector's Banner will have some leaves with that "look" - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=56807. But CB is a highly variable plant.
Can you get a close-up of the end of the two-tone leaves to see if there is a "Glow" (watermark) between the colors.

Thanks for your help. I look at hosta library all the time, it is helpful to identify . It does look a lot like Royal Flush the only difference is the gold margin is not as wide so I am still stumped. Not Collectors Banner...wish it was , that's gorgeous.

You should try a wider group to get an answer.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/2248595978/ (and follow the guidance of the "pinned" post at the top) You have to get permission to post.

There is also some Hosta ID Facebook group, but I don't participate there. The regular AHS group is exhausting enough. With internet groups like this, it's either feast or famine, it seems. We used to feast here... and I find this much more pleasant than Facebook.
