Hostafan, thank you and WOW. 80 varieties, now that is definitely a collection to be proud of. You need to start a swap shop.
I would order more from Bowden's but I dont want to end up with the same 20 varieties again. So I might give them a call next year and ask if they would consider sending me 20 different varieties from what I got this time.
If Bowden's are 20 miles away from you then I'm sure you will not resist the temptation for long. If not anything else just the sight of all those different varieties of Hostas will be magnificent (although I suppose you only need to look in your garden for that).
Your garden must be magnificent. Post a picture sometime if you get a chance.
One of my favourite sights in the garden is seeing the hostas come up. This one always has beautiful purple sprouts (ermm, I'm sure thats not the right term but I hope you know what I mean!?)...
There are about 10 or so hostas that still have produced any shoots but I'm assuming it has something to do with the fact that they were planted only a week ago.

Dito Tootles. It's also one of my favourite moments in the garden and I greedily count the number of emerging shoots because I'm a huge fan of hostas.
Here's some pics of the new shoots:
