Just a guess, I've seen the first one called Undulata Albomarginata allthough I can't find that on the Hosta Library so it may go by another name.

Thanks for sharing! Nice "Gollum" cup tips! And welcome, by the way. There's a ton of great information here. Yes, you'll want to change the soil mix. A good fast draining, gritty, mix is what these plants want. Get a bag of cactus and succulent soil (with as little peat as possible), and add 30 - 40 percent Perlite. You could add pumice, fire clay, small gravel, too. Just make sure that water drains well so that the roots don't rot. But you probably know this, since you have such a nice plant. Josh

Thanks Andrew! Just took some more photos since the light is just perfect. The colours are even deeper but there is no scent at all. Maybe I'll pick up some tomorrow or, my nose is out of wack. So, does this mean I get to name it?

That's looking more and more like the Teneza. Yes, it has small thorns, hardly enough to stick you and they are widely spaced. This photo of my younger tree shows the texture of the bark and the thorns ... New leaves on the younger tree ... The dark green tree in the center of the photo is my more mature tree which is about 18 ft. tall at 12 or more years old ... It can get larger, but is fairly show growing. I saw one on the south side of town that was about 35 ft tall. One of the nicest things about them is they keep their leaves during the winter which is very unusual for this type of tree. The leaves are slightly more sparse, but that's all. Also the blooms are very fragrant. They produce long seed pots which split open as they dry. Is that a bean pod on the lower left of your last photo?

The red on the 'Redneck Heaven' petioles doesn't go all the way to where the leaf starts, it goes slightly into the leaf on the subject plant..... Pieter

Thanks for the Undulata Albomarginata ID. The second photo of the Hosta in the Pot has gold variations in the white center and the leaf edge is smooth not wavy. Will this chage as it matures?

Many hosta can change as they mature. It can change in color, leaf shape, leaf size, leaf texture. Some change if they sport, create a new type of hosta. They can also revert, change back into the hosta that it sported from. Growing (environment(sun/soil/moisture) can also effect things.

The second one will probably maintain the lovely chartreuse between the white and dark green. Most likely it is undulata univittata. Here are pictures of the ones in my yard
