Like Paul, I don't have time to go back and try to name all his hostas, and it would get very confusing anyway. I hope that perhaps, when the garden isn't as time consuming, Paul will come back and ID many of them for you.

In regard to his second photo, I don't have those varieties and I"m not sure. I DO have 'Rainforest Sunrise which shows at the left. Am wondering whether the one at the top right (showing only partially) might be 'Sweet Innocence'.

The reason I like to have plants ID'd is that hostas are chameleons and can look different in one garden than they do in another depending on the zone, the amount of light, and the season. Also, unless there is something in a photo to show scale, a cropped photo of a very small hosta can look nearly identical to a very large hosta. To make an accurate ID you need to be able to see the whole plant too as the shape of the mound can vary widely from one plant to the next.
