I just love flower scrapes that have the buds arranged radially! Looks fabulous and so is Popcorn hosta! Looks like the camera phone is working like a charm...or the operator is that good! :-)

I have a funky Zebra Stripes although I don't think it has flower buds...I nosed around and couldn't find any! So I will share my U. Albomarginata funky flower scape...in all that green and white it doesn't pop out like your beauty does. See it in the centre? It's playing chameleon!

Beautiful photo!

That is really different. Love it! Looks like an actual flower. Don't have zebra stripes yet. Does it stay this coloring all season or does it turn green? Neat hosta.

Apparently it goes green but amount varies with sunlight/shade. It can be prolonged but I haven't experienced it long enough to know how long I can successful keep the green at bay.

What kind of phone camera is that, Jennifer? I will be upgrading my iPhone phone in December. Any recommendations? I'm looking for a great "hosta-friendly" camera phone.

It is the Galaxy s6. When it came time to pick a phone the only thing I cared about was a camera. The s6 beat the iphone 6 for the camera, but only by a little bit. Both are awesome phones. Here is a link

Are you on instagram Jo? It is so much fun looking at garden photos. My user name is Thenerdyhosta if you use it.

Some people cut off fascinated scapes (fear they take energy from the main body) but I would never do that they are gorgeous.

I'm with you 100%, Jon! This kind of phenom doesn't come readily to all hostas. It is an unusual sight I enjoy...the plant will return to normal. :-)

I love the funky blooms too! I guess I will have to pay more attention to mine when they flower.
