It's funny you ask as there is NOTHING around this little one. The closest hosta is a good 40 feet away! Right now I call it baby hosta. lol. I'm very attached to it. I don't know anything about seedlings but I think I may need to research some info on them. Theresa, lol...I'm glad I'm not the only one. Some of my hostas are male and some are female. I don't discriminate ;) I do think most are "male" though and think the reason behind it is that I am a mother to 3 boys, 4 if you include my husband! I guess since I'm a mother to these plants, it automatically makes them boys since that's all I've ever been a mother to! June...she is definitely female and so is Miss Frances Williams. I think their names determined their gender though...not me!

Cool picture. Looks like it's about to grab you.

That's a millipede. Most millipedes are slow-moving detritivores, eating decaying leaves and other dead plant matter. However, they can also be minor garden pests, especially in greenhouses where they can cause severe damage to emergent seedlings. Millipedes generally have little impact to human economic or social well-being, especially in comparison with insects, although locally can be a nuisance or agricultural pest. Millipedes do not bite, and their defensive secretions are mostly harmless to humans

This is kind of a wild guess, but it could be Prayer peperomia, Peperomia dolabrifomis. You might cross-post your question on the Succulents Forum to check. Oh, and the little guy next to it could be a sea monster :).
