@congaree Thanks, John! My plant systematics expert has taught me that it's often [very] difficult to go from genus to species with leaves-only. That's why I only conjectured that this is a Hosta. Drilling down to species, I'm suspicious that this particular plant is something my MIL transplanted or started in Ohio from her former neighbor (a master gardener) in Michigan and that was a Hosta 'Regal Splendor'; see https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2014-08-21
I will have to revisit this plant at our next visit and hopefully see some flowers to help with identification (and possibly check in with the master gardener!). Thanks for your help and solidifying the ID down to genus!
