    Does anybody know what this plant is? Somebody said it might be a wild Hosta, but I find that hard to believe. It might be an eastern U.S. native plant. It's fragrant. Thanks.

    potentially a wild guess but maybe Kirengeshoma? if possible try posting a larger pic, the forum software will thumbnail it automatically I think.

    Another possibility is Cacalia atriplicifolia (Pale Indian plantain)

    Wow, Ginger Blue, I think you're absolutely right.

    I'm so glad I know the name of it. Now I can seek out seeds for it.

    Thanks so much.

    And thanks, Daniel, for the link. I really want to grow that one.

    Cheers, J J
