Anyone who has read my recent article in the Hosta journal on the
inheritance of white flowers in hosta could know by now that pure
white flowers as found in H sieboldii alba and its derivatives like
Snow flakes are a simple, recessive, mendelian factor. To say it
otherwise: Snowflakes selfed will give 100 % seedlings with pure
white flowers. Moreover , the chance of getting purple flowers from
adventitious buds in Snow Flakes is remote, to say it mildly
