You certainly are not ignorant...Dearest Marie-Anne,<br />You certainly are not ignorant as the ordinary hostas, being sold at local nurseries, are not the fragrant ones! We obtained these from specialty nurseries, via mail.<br />So indeed, that was the reason we got these! We once used to have a lovely, double blooming hosta Aphrodite... so heavenly but we lost it.<br />Hugs and happy September to you as well.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-80303657923818659462014-09-03T10:45:10.821-04:002014-09-03T10:45:10.821-04:00Dearest Noushka,

I did not even know that hostas were blooming!!!!! <br />I always believed hostas are green shrubs which thrive under the cover of trees!!<br />Thanks for this enlightening post!!!! These flowers are beautiful and moreover, they are fragrant!!!!!

Many wonders of nature. If you put in the search box at the top of my blog to the right: 'Orchid Cactus', you will find posts about our Cereus Oxypetalum Night Blooming Orchid Cactus.<br />We still do have some summer left for the south east of the USA. But our flowers had a drought with heat for a couple of weeks, that does not make them too happy...<br />Hugs and happy September.<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-90758324036452652132014-09-01T22:17:40.822-04:002014-09-01T22:17:40.822-04:00Liebe Traudi,
