Hostas
This is my third "Backyard Discoveries" blog post and there is at least one more coming, that one is about ferns. I know, it's unfair that I should tease but you'll just have to wait patiently. 😁 I have known about the hostas in the flower bed, they have very distinct leaves, but don't remember seeing the long stalks with blooms on them before. I guess I never paid much attention or thought they were some other plant. Now that I have discovered them, I have been trying to document their growth when the weather allows me to spend time outdoors. I am going to keep this post uncharacteristically brief and just let the images speak for themselves. The images were all made in the early-to-mid afternoon, for some I used a large diffusion panel held at arms length to lessen the harsh light. In the case of the last image, Hosta Bloom #3, I decided to give it a warmer tone, similar to what one would expect around sunset.
If you enjoyed this post, please do me a small favor and share it with others. You will find buttons for many of the popular social media platforms at the bottom of this post. Thank you!
