    By the way, the dark green one could be Hosta "Blue Vision". It's a H. sieboldiana type. I'm unable to name the variegated one since there are so many different ones that look very much like each other.

    Thanks for the info Droppy. I had no idea that new varieties of hosta are taken from sports. I've never had much luck with hostas because of slugs, but I am hoping these thick leaves will slow the critters down that I don't squish. For the time I will divide off the variegated sports and have a little variety. :-D
