Daily Home Renovation Tips

We have written before about how much we like the Hostas type of plant for a garden. They seem to grow in any type of soil. They seem to spread each year to cover more ground. And most of them produce their own flowers once per year.

What we wanted to show you today is how they look in full bloom. First are some pictures with some of the flower shoots starting to appear.

Next are pictures of the flower shoots sprouting up well above the leaves.

Here now are the pictures of the Hostas in full bloom. These pictures were taken on July 25^th. First the main front garden.

And now how they look on the small garden to the side of the front door. 

To me they look the best when the flowers are sufficiently large to cause gravity to pull the stem down to almost parallel with the ground.

The down side is that these flowers do not last very long at all. And, at least for us, they only provide one batch of flowers per year.
