Ed, do you remember ever purchasing Gloriosa? I have a NOID that was left behind when my friend Linda C
removed a truckload of plants that I was fostering for her. It looks very much like yours. The margin
has stayed very narrow over the years, and is definitely not Francee or Fortunei Aureomarginata, Green Gold
Crispula, or any of the wider margined fortunei types. She does not remember purchasing Gloriosa,
but I do remember buying it years ago (mid-80's) for my friend Gloria, and I may have given a piece of it
to Linda C then. Of course, she was not keeping a list, and these were the days when I was waiting for
my trees and bushes to grow to make shade so I did not keep it, and only remember the name becasue
Gloria was buying any hosta that was close to her name.
And time remembered is grief forgotten,
And frosts are slain and flowers begotten.....
