One more photo of the strange happening...

It happens. Sometimes it occurs along with a fasciated scape. Sometimes it's just a scape that doesn't fully form. Hostas do some weird stuff.

Oh my gosh! And this flower, look, it is growing OFF of the scape? Wow, that is weird.

I saw one in my garden that did the same thing today, but can't remember which one.

Wonder if this is due to the extreme heat we had last year.

It is totally pretty. Wish it would stay. Will check it out next year and see what happens. The upright growth shows it off.

It happens here occasionally too. Weird.

I figured the number of fasciated scapes appearing this year might also be due to the up/down spring/winter weather that changed in a snap. Never thought it might be from last year. I was really hoping to have a NORMAL year.

I'm taking notes on what blooms when this year. Especially for the fragrant hosta. And also for the desirable hosta to serve as pod or pollen donors....I want them close together and let nature take its course. I want a yellow gold color with wide white streaking and white backs, white petioles, blooms of any color as long as they are big and fragrant. It would be radiant in the moonlight.

You definitely have that hosta buried too deep.

We had over 3 inches of rain. I need to remove the soil around her that built up. Thanks!
