I snagged a few rhizomes from my mom's garden of this hosta she planted when she bought her house in 1958 - long before I existed. I don't know the name, but how many shades of green?

Not to far then from where Bridie came from County Tyrone. Yes the Irish are always welcoming especially for family. ☺
