FWIW, white Hosta flowers usually smell like Gardenia/Jasmine! They don't get enough credit for being one of the best smelling flowers that just about anybody with a little piece of shade can grow. Plant it and forget it until the blooms show up. Then sniff often, they don't last long! I don't recall a bee ever being in my way when attempting to sniff, but they do make seeds, something's visiting those flowers.
