    Your orange flowers belong to Pilosella auriantiaca, othewise known as orange hawkweed, fox and cubs or devil's paintbrush. It has slightly bristly leaves. Generally like different conditions to hostas as it enjoys dryer soil and sunshine. Grows happily on my south facing drystone wall!

    Hi cherry, looks to me like you have two different plants fighting for space in the same pot and the hostas are losing.  I've no idea what the orange flowering one is but someone else on here will. Some hosta leaves are showing in your last two photos but they are being swamped by the mystery plant.
