For FlCrazy

This is lovely Sid...looks like Flowers one.Do you have a name for it ?

No, I got it with a load of others for about 10p each when I worked on a nursery one summer and they were clearing out old stock. Nothing was labed unfortunately - good bargains tho!!

Should say so ! Well done you !

He he...I didn't get paid much, but gosh it was good for picking up cheap (and free) plants!!

Sounds like my kind of job Sid !
I got to thinking after posting something about this hosta on my post, that your flowers may open more fully due to more rain...it's possible. Could be the same one after all.

Do the flowers look more or less the right size?

This is the same as mine which is Royal Standard, reading from my Hosta book "Leaves large, puckered when mature, funnel-shaped flowers lilac tinted buds the best fragrant white occasionally semi-double,smells best in the evenings.

Thanks for the info Dotty! I read your comment while at work and had to come home to see if the buds were really lilac tinged and, yes, they were just a bit. They also look what you might call semi-double don't they. I will look up some pictures. Thanks again :-)

Thanks for looking for me Dotty, looks like I'm the one that's back to the drawing board !...lol

Your both welcome, its a pity mine isnt flowering...lol

Maybe you could find mine in your hosta book Dotty ?....:-)

Finally took the time to do a little research on mine Sid, and it looks like mine is hosta plantaginea 'grandiflora'.

Well done Jerrie - I think mine is probably Royal Standard, but of course they are all closely related arnt they.

Yes they are Sid, wish I had a dollar for every variety of hosta on the market these days. !....lol.

Wow what huge flowers for a hosta, never seen any this large,lovely.

...think Flcrazy has got one with even bigger flowers!
