her, since I am more net-savvy than she.
She has a plant growing that has light-pink flowers on a very weak
stalk (has to tie them up to keep them off the ground.) The flowers
look a lot like hosta flowers, but the leaves are nothing like a
hosta. (Unfortunately, I don't remember what the leaves look like..
I
think long and lily like, but that may have been a different mystery
plant.) It's growing in an area that gets a lot of light. She's in
Missouri, if that helps. No absolute id's required... just some
general ideas so I can narrow down what I go look up would be
helpful.

Could be some Penstemon.

Before you buy.
I sell scarlet penstemon seeds (and Argemone munita/prickly poppy) he https://www.etsy.com/listing/1152591...rds-with-seeds |
Hi, If you had been posting from the UK, then I'd be suggesting Schizostylis coccinea, commonly known as pink Kaffir lily but as your mom is in Missouri, then this may not be the one ? but from your description, its a possibilty ?
