Ha! Paul! I do believe you've got it! Just took trusty flashlight out to
check and they do, indeed, hang downward. I wouldn't say exactly *tight*
against the scapes, but definitely downward...even went to look at a
different plant with pods and those do stand out from the scape.
Yippee! And thanks for putting a name on my child. Now, I wonder if the
plain dark green offspring are simply the species, H. ventricosa - their
seedpods hang down too. Form, leaf shape and vigor are the same as the
parent, simply no variegation. The parent Hosta is quite a prolific
seeder.
