I have a beautiful plant in my inherited garden, it has a long stalk about 2ft then it bends over with thinnish hosta like leaves with little white with green rim bell shaped flowers hanging under them. There is a hosta right next to where this comes up but it appears to be a separate plant. I was told by a retired gardener it is a bleeding heart but its nothing like any I have seen before. If anyone has any ideas I would be most grateful.

Hi Vizzio,
I think you have Polygonatum aka Solomon's seal.* There are 3 different varieties.

Is this what you have?

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

I agree with Newt, when I read your description and see what she identified... that sounds like the plant.
