Thanks for the info. Plantago lanceolata is dead-on, but I think that, going by pictures that I've
found, my other one is Plantago rugelii instead of Plantago rugelii.

Anyway, looking at some of the larger plants, it struck me that they looked pretty much as nice as
some of the hostas I've started under a tree. I thought that if they were perennials, I might try
transplanting a couple of them.
