RE: Hostas

Bonnie,
I appreciate the flowers too.  I don't have a keen enough nose to catch the
fragrance, but I think they look rather nice.  I have one I grew from seed
that has a very pretty lavender and white striped flower.
I do cut flowers stems from Tellima and Heuchera americana, usually if they
topple.  Neither is very pretty and they tend to lay over in the path
because they're so long.
