Hosta 'Loyalist' and an unknown

Loyalist is a little beauty, but does anyone know the name of the second one for me?

 

The second pic to me looks like 'Aureomarginata' [montana]. If thats any help

 

There are so bloody many hostas that it is really difficult to say. Give a look at this catalogue:

That is a pretty one marley, but I don't think it is the same
I am wondering if it is aureomarginata fortunii which is very like Slinky's suggestion?

 

Whis4ey I'm a big fan of Hostas although I always seem to forget which ones I have but I have found the below link quite helpful maybe it can be of some help to you too.Hel.xxx.

A good site Hel .... I had lost that link so appreciate your pointer
I have had a look at one called 'Wide Brim' which looks suspiciously like mine. Have a look and tell me what you think
I think these plants are a little like Japanese maples ... there are so many and also so many that are similar (probably being named daily to attract customers/collectors) that it is getting impossible to identify one with any great degree of accuracy
I think that if I decide to name some on my website I had better issue a disclaimer

 

That is very true for many plants. Also for hydrangeas. Hundreds, thousands of varieties, but there are only relatively few that are really "special" enough to deserve an individual name, in my opinion. I have worked on several garden shows with the owners of the most important hydrangea nursery in Italy,and they honestly say the same, which is a comfort!
Plants are also so terribly variable in habit and colour with different conditions that once the label is lost a sure identification is next to impossible, except perhaps for a few cases.

 

Whis4ey I have had a little look at that one called Wide Brim and it does look very similar to yours although I have to say yours looks far better!:D

The only trouble with Hostas (other than slug attraction) is that the same Hosta type can look so very different depending on the time of day taken or by what sort of camera is used to take the picture!

It really is a nightmare finding out which is which.Hel.xxx.

 

Whis4ey - they are excellent hostas - but how do you grow them without the compulsory slug holes !? I have mine in a stainless steel planter with copper tape around and slug pellets inside - and the slimeballs still get in !:D

 

Some hostas are more slug resistant than others
Some areas I plant the hostas are more slug resistant areas than others
It might be a help where I have laid wood bark chippings
Sometimes wifey lays slug pellets :(
