Is this really Baby Bunting?
I got this in 2006 as 'Baby Bunting'. I've just always wondered if it was marked correctly. Everyone talks about how "cute" 'Baby Bunting' is -- so I expected it to be the size of Pandora's Box. It's much larger than that! (though I guess it matches Zilis' description). Is this Baby Bunting or not? and, if it is, why does it usually get described as a cute mini??? lol!
And for size reference, it's planted next to Heuchera 'Amethyst Mist' that I got at the same tiime:

I should have mentioned that the leaves seem extra pointy this year. LOL! It had looked like a greenish Blue Cadet, but this year it's quite different -- note that it is still early in the season here, and most of my hostas aren't completely up/open yet.
I'm not sure what to do with it, but thanks for confirming what I've been thinking all along!

I think it is not BB, The leaves should be more heart shaped. BB is a little bigger than Pandora's Box, but not much.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions! Maybe someone will admire it and it can go home with them.
oh! I know! I'm running a charity Memorial golf tournament in August for my niece, so I think I'll pot it up as a doorprize!

Nah... I don't think I'll ever know what it is, other than a small bluish hosta. It should flower soon... the leaves don't look nearly as pointed now as they did in that earlier photo. I'll try to remember to get updated photos.
BTW: I wish mine looked like the ones posted by others.

uh, Linda... if you have Teaspoon planted as a mini, you are in for a surprise. I tookfour large divisions off mine for my sale and it is still easily 30¨ in diameter this year! Leaves are smallish, but the plant is proving to be closer to medium than small and certainly not in the mini category!
