Anyone thinning/dividing hostas?

I'm looking for some hosta plants to go in a new shady planting bed. Are you thinning out or dividing hostas and have some to give away? I also have lambs' ears and penstemon (purple - Rocky Mtn?) to trade. I'm in Broomfield, north suburb of Denver. Thanks.

Hi Timothy. I have a couple of hosta starts I potted up this spring. Not sure of the exact variety, but you can see what the leaves look like in the picture below. They get a large "spike" of fragrant white flowers. It might be plantaginea Hosta (but I don't think my flowers are quite as large as they mention): http://www.hostasdirect.com/hostas/plantaginea/.

Will you be coming to the spring swap? I have a couple reserved for a two people, but have a couple of others as well.
