Many people who have hostas in their yard either ignore hosta flowers or cut them off. I remember when I was a kid I used to walk through our yard "popping" all of the flower buds before they opened up. I called them balloon flowers back then. Who knew that I would go from popping balloon flowers to where I am now? Today I was walking through the yard and smelled something wonderful. Well it was the flowers from my hosta 'Cathedral Windows'. Not all hosta blooms have a scent to them, but the ones that do smell faintly like lily of the valley to me. So next time you see a hosta in bloom (especially if it's a large white flower) bed down and smell the hosta, you might be pleasantly surprised.

I cant wait to plant my new Hostas! They are very pretty and will make that part of my yard so much more appealing to look at! Thanks again Jenn
You are welcome!
I like hosta blooms since they can make an average hosta exceptional (I'm thinking of Golden Tiara, Raspberry Sorbet, Krossa Regal and Regal Splendor to name a few. Once upon a time, I would cut them all off...
