This is my favorite hosta and the only one that
I don't remove the blooms. The blooms have a
fragrance similar to honeysuckle. I think it is a
"Royal Standard".
Artist, Barbara Cocks, is a Virginia native and has lived in Lynchburg most of her life. She has been married to her husband Phillip for 50 yrs. and is the proud mother of a son and daughter and grandmother of three grandsons.
Barbara has had a long time desire to learn to paint. Her interest was encouraged after taking classes with a local instructor. Retirement has allowed the time to further pursue her love of acrylic and oil painting and photography. She has a great appreciation for God’s creation and its beauty and she strives to capture it on canvas and in photos. When she is not painting, she is in the garden working with her many flowers and always has her camera ready for that special photo. Her “backyard photography” includes everything from flowers to wildlife to sunsets and rainbows.
She has exhibited at the Lynchburg Kaleidoscope Art Show, Beyond These Hills Gallery, The Bower Center in Bedford, Seven Hills Art Club at the Lynchburg Parks and Recreation Miller Center, The Framery, Lynchburg Community Market, The Dancing Leaf and the Rustburg Art Show and has been recognized with various awards.

I have this hosta and the scent is just beautiful. It is also one of the prettier hosta flowers, I think
My favorite too - and I have them in my garden. I plan to propagate them come winter, and plant them at various places in my garden.
Gururaj - How do you propagate them? I usually divide the roots in the spring when the new growth just starts to show.
