You got cut off, what did you realize?
They are both hostas, although maybe the leaves appear differently if they have not reached full size? Check out Plant Delights nursery for the most amazing collection of hostas, it might help you identify what you've got. The website is plantdelights.com if you are interested. Be forewarned, you have probably never seen so many different varieties of hosta!
Perhaps they are some kind of hybrid. Who knows what can happen in plant DNA. You can see some have mild ridging on them and the back looks the same as the other ridged hostas do, perhaps they just need more growing time. They do look like they are a lighter green and the leaves look not quite as wide. Perhaps it could be a different kind.
There are over 2000 varieties of hostas, my favorite plant.....so easy to grow and split......love shade but the brighter color variety will do fine with some sun.......our son bought an old house then tore it down to build his own and hostas keep popping up.......if we can use them, we transplant, otherwise dig down to get roots out so they don't pop up again....possibly that is what's happening with your hostas....
Quite often, a hybridized plant will reproduce throwbacks to its original variety losing its hybridized features.
looks like that’s what has happened here.
Looks a little like Lilly of the Valley. Did you dig up in the spring?
its been several years since my master gardener classes and it was over 2000 then....if they are going to come up with more plants of something, glad it is hostas.......hydrangeas another one I can't get enough of......
They are all hosta plants, different varieties...
http://www.plantsgalore.com/Hostas/plant/index-plant-texture.htm This does an excellent job of explaining the leaf texture. Hope it helps you.
I have different types of hostas, but some bugs have been eaten the leaves. How or what can I do to get rid of this problem. I would like to use a natural remedy, do you have any solution?
There is actually over 8000 different types of Hosta plants. Place crushed egg shells around your hostas to kill the ear wigs.
