						  Peter and Jean Ruh of Ohio registered this 
				large size sport of H. 'Sieboldiana'  in 2001 on behalf of the originator, 
				Thomas Donahue 
of Massachusetts. It grows 
				into a large size hosta about 26 inches high and spreads 5 feet wide with heavily 
				corrugated foliage with thick substance. Dense clusters of near 
				white flowers bloom starting in mid-June. 
						According to
				The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...a variation of H. 'Frances Williams' with a gold edge...To me, this plant has 
				always seemed to fall within the limits of variability in 
				'Frances Williams' itself." 
			 
  An article titled Too Many Lookalikes by 
Bob Keller in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal (2010 Vol. 41 No. 2) states that, "There 
are many registered 'Frances Williams' lookalikes including H. 'Aurora Borealis', H. 'Squash Edge', 'Holly's Green and Gold', 'Golden Circles' and 
'Olive Bailey Langdon', as well as some unregistered ones."
