    welcome, joebar, thank you for posting so many great pics. I like your shiny yellow-margined unknown one that's on the right of the undulata. Don't be a stranger now...

    i like that particular hosta as well mary- i wish i was more diligent about keeping those plant markers, but before i really got into hosta i thought they were pretty much all the same, so why keep the namecard-right? lol

    Welcome to the Hosta forum Joe, you'll find plenty of enablers 'round here...

    The solid green to the left in DSCN0019-1.jpg looks like Undulata Erromena, the all-green form. Undulatas are quite unstable and be prepared for them to change over the years.

    In DSCN0020-1.jpg to the right looks like 'So Sweet', check the flowers for fragrance when it blooms.

    DSCN0003-1.jpg sure reminds me of Undulata Albomarginata.

    And finally for DSCN0012-1.jpg check out Blue Cadet on the HL.

    Welcome, Joe, your hostas are lovely. Why not treat us to a few pics of your favorite roses as well? Most of us enjoy more than one type of plant :-)
