This is another plant my mother-in-law could not identify. She got it from a friend years ago and doesn't know the name of it. Can some one help identify it?

It appears to be a Hosta of some sort. Droopy will be able to tell you when she gets back on the forum.

So, take pity on someone with very very very slow dial up internet and instead of posting a link, tell me what it is, please.

It's amazing how those leaves resemble Hosta leaves. I thought it was a Hosta too, but the bloom looked too pink. Those Hidden Ginger plants are really pretty.

I am truly sorry
Palustris, it is Curcuma petiolata, or as Glenda said Hidden Lily Ginger.
