My husband's favorite part of our yard is the hosta bed that is under the trees in the front yard. I am planning on expanding the bed this summer and had an idea. I thought that since he won't be able to enjoy it this year, I would like to dedicate the new part in recognition him and others serving in Operation Enduring Freedom. I am looking for the following hostas to plant and any other that fit the theme.
Minute Man
Patriot
Blue Cadet
Sea Thunder
Toy Soldier
Great expectations
If you have any of these, Please let me know what you would like in trade, or I can gladly send postage. Or do you know of any others that I could put in this garden bed?
Edited to say that I also posted this in Hosta.

Expanding my Hosta Bed
I know the names of some other hostas that might fit, although I don't have any of them.
War Party
Radio Waves
Remember Me
Beyond Measure
George W.
I have Minuteman and Patriot, though. Send me an email.
smiln32, those would be great additions! I will email you right away.
Blue Angel maybe? I'm not sure, but aren't the Blue Angels a military flight team that performs at gatherings? I may be way off base here, so please forgive me if I am.
Good one JoanJ. Hubby is in the Navy, I should have gotten this one on the list before but it didn't come to mind :-)
toadlily, send me an email about this one. I may have some a little later to share. None of my hostas have woken up yet, and we wrecked a whole lot of our yard with the house building and moving out the trailer house. I think this hosta was in an area that should be okay though. If I have your email, I'll remember to check on it and if it wakes up I'd be glad to share. Blue Angel is my favorite hosta, since it was my first and we bought it when my FIL passed away.
Mustn't forget Loyalist and Patriot.
Just a few off the top of my head would be:
LIBERTY
PAUL REVERE
EL CAPITAN
PEACE
HOPE
GLORY
GUARDIAN ANGEL
I wish I could help out with some but most did not survive the fire, but I will see what I can do!
Don't forget to check out the Hosta Library to get some other ideas!!!! http://www.hostalibrary.org/

Ruby, I checked the hosta library. Oh, my goodness! I had no idea ther were so many different hostas! Lots of great choices. Now I am on a quest, LOL.
Smiln32, I have tried to email you but they keep bouncing back? I will try one more time to e you from here and see if that might work.
I got your email, dear. I'll see what I can do.
