Help me find this hosta

Lake Toxaway, NC(Zone 7a)

Darius and I saw a hosta blooming (all the others are through around here). It had very large white blossoms. I am sure I saw it once in the Shady Oaks catalog but I don't have one right now and I can't get their website to come up. Does anyone have a clue? I checked the plants database, but there are over 3,000 posted there so I gave up.

What color was the hosta???? The one that comes to mind is Plantaginia, it is a late bloomer with big white flowers!!!

Well, we didn't get real close but it appears it was a medium green. There are 5 Plantaginia listed at the hosta library and I was able to eliminate 3 of them. So it is either just plain plantaginia or plantaginia Aphrodite.

Plantaginia Aphrodite has a triple flower and the other just a single flower!!!!!

ruby42... If you have 'plantiginia' I'd love a start! I thought the flowers were wonderful. Your trade list shows 'wanted... zone 6-7 perennials'... can you tell me what you want in trade? Send me an email, please, so we don't tie up this thread with trades. Thanks.

Had this hosta at a home I used to own in the city. A century home, and I am sure the hostas had to be at least 40 years old.

The flowers were so fragrant they filled the night air and they lasted so long in water in a vase, too... big leaves like dinner plates.

What I loved was, after almost everything is starting to look spent, here comes this lovely fresh white flower and its perfume... beautiful!
