    It's just hidden behind a Contorted Hazelnut Tree and on the side of the steps next to the house foundation. We will have to move it soon so it can be seen better next year.

    An interesting Hosta, I wonder if it is more sensitive to light than plants with greener leaves? I.E. does it do poorly in more sunny locations?

    I just went out to look for the label and it must have run off with a chipmunk one day.

    Chipmunks, crows and grackles all put tags and labels on their walls and nests for decorations. :twisted:

    There is a hosta called 'White Christmas' that looks similar.

    Oh Barb, she's a beaut! ;) When you say "Hosta" people think of a green plant with big green leaves. They have no idea how beautiful these things can be!

    Jerry, That Hosta is not White Christmas. That has different shaped leaves.

    I have so many Hosta I don't even remember where they are. Then all of a sudden one catches my eye because how nicely it has grown. Allot of them didn't do well this very hot Summer. Wednesday I will look for my one that is the color of butter.

    Yes, Barb is here..I will have to go try to find the name on it tomorrow.. if the label is there. It is heavily raining and dark at the moment so I am not going out there. Don't know if the plant is there yet or if it died down for the winter..Stayed tuned......;)
