Thread OP

I have an old (and rather large) hosta that I'm trying to put a name to. The leaves are large and the plant itself is about 24" high. When it first appears in the spring the leaves are white with irregular green edges but as the season progresses lighter colored green "splotches" appear and the white changes to yellow. The plant is actually quite beautiful as it can have 3 or 4 different shades of green at one time. By mid to late summer the leaves have changed entirely to a single shade of green, as the last photo shows.

I personally call the plant "Picasso" but would like to determine which cultivar it is. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Welcome to the site!
Beautiful hosta, looks familiar, perhaps someone else will have an idea.
