'Great Expectations' is one of my oldest hostas - I've had it since sometime in the '90s. It's a sport of H. sieboldiana 'Elegans' and I've had the occasional eye revert. It has beautiful large round puckered leaves with wide, irregular streaking margins of blue and light green, but is not a fast grower. It apparently likes sun and mine now gets more sun as some ash trees west of it were removed in recent years. Please feel free to share your pictures of this hosta.
