Info='Five O'clock Somewhere'.
This hosta is very different. Probably a somewhat smaller tetraploid form of its very large parent, it has a very wide green margin with a bright gold narrow center. The leaves are very thick and a little contorted. Light lavender flowers in June.
Nancy loves it, it is still growing on me!
