Lovely pictures.
Are you able to keep Center of Attention looking good all through the summer? No matter what I do, mine is badly eaten by the end of July. It is such a pretty Hosta in the early part of the summer.

Lovely
You've got a great Galaxy there... lots more streaking than mine. Have you done seed from it? I always get too busy to plant them, but I do have one tiny streaked seedling from Galaxy that keeps reminding me how cool a breeder it can be.
I am curious what makes that sport Mrs. Cleaver... from the photo it appears to be just a light colored June - pretty much all the Junes I get in wholesale now have this lighter coloration... or if it is lighter still, I'd agree it looks like Remember Me. So does this one have some distinguishing traits that make it different from the others?
I am a nut for June and the whole family, which is why I'm curious. I think I just planted either my fourth or fifth cultivar that is effectively a white-margined Halcyon... El Nino, First Frost, Sleeping Beauty, Great Escape - is there one more???... Anyway, I think only time will tell if these are all different hostas or only one or two with many different names. (yeah, I know... with the experiences of many, I'd have to say at least two different because people have very different experiences with El Nino and First Frost...)
And if it really is different - what would a serious June nut have to do to get a little sliver of Mrs. Cleaver. "You are looking particularly lovely today, Mrs. Cleaver" says jgh aka eddy haskell unctuously... hint hint hint!

LOL This little sport was a gift to me last year through the secret trade. It came from Butch but I can't remember his screen name and the computer that had all my data went down in flames, well smoldering anyway.
It does look a lot like Remember Me and may actually be the same sport. I recall Butch said it didn't get really big and he had had it growing for a few years. I actually have it labeled as "Sport of June - Mrs. Cleaver".

Nice pics Fenceberry!
You do realize that Jay B Abenbendroth is going to get really really really really really big I've been to Steve's garden and seen the mother plant. It's going to eat up everything around it
