HOSTA FLOWERS ARE LIKE LILIES AND GOOD FOR CUTTING

Although I imagine most people grow hostas for the leaf interest, the flowers are pretty outstanding and can be cut and used in flower arranging.  They are striking in appearance and it is incredible to think that some people actually remove the emerging flowers before they get chance to fully bloom.  Whatever their reason, whether they believe they take energy away from the leaves, or whatever, I let mine grow and love them. Bees and other pollinators love them too.
