Sharing a Hosta photo with the Nature Tuesday challenge from my garden. They are another favorite of mine. I have two types, variegated and plain. I like them all. This one is not variegated but it still has two shades of green, making it sort of cool. The variegated adds a little more than just green to the plant.
I cut them all back at the end of the season, then they return in the spring. My kind of plant. Low maintenance.
We are having nice weather this week, but more frost returns next week. Crazy weather.

I guess we don’t have problem with weather or temperature as much but more of space and sunlight …
Our days seem longer this time of year (spring and summer) with the time change.
Ah now I see how plants will grow better in such conditions, more sunlight!
We’ve most of the sunlight blocked (when they build an extension) so our plants are not getting enough sun…
I’ve already taken care of my flowers
Good for you! We have to wait a little longer.
Or, per your comment waiting until after 4/15 to plant, I am just saying those of us who don’t plant at all, should wait until next year, right? 🙂
Ha, funny man today. You should try planting something, anything, you might surprise yourself and see it grow! Very rewarding.
I sow the seeds of ideas and plant dreams 🙂
You are a poet and don’t know it. 🙂
but my feet show it, they are longfellows!
We have a similar weather … sunny, helpless, kids, cold … everything you want … now I started slowly digging in the garden planting, and surely I will not be before April 15
It seems to be the same all over the world. Kind of normal this time of the year but this year seems a little more severe with the weather. Good luck with your garden.
I wish you good luck with your garden … I think we’ll need it
Thanks and the same to you my friend.
I once had something similar, and it was beautiful and needed only minimum care.
Yes, these are very low maintenance. Thanks Albert for your comment.
You are very much welcome, Carol.
So that is the name of that beautiful plant. I have seen a lot of these here and around as they to grow just about anywhere. Thank you for letting us know the name… Here the weather is still trying to hold to winter with low below teens but still above zero (centigrade that is). But that is OK with me as I am almost dreading summer as our last one was so humid it was unbearable. Thank God I do not suffer from asthma like poor Pamela because I would be screaming my head off. Beautiful picture of a gorgeous and simple looking plant and on top with low maintenance. I will have to remember that name…
Yes, and they come in many varieties, I love them all. We are still getting cold mornings in the 30s F but warmer days. Eventually we will have spring weather. I feel for Pam and her asthma. I watched my Mom suffer for years. We moved to Arizona at one point at the direction of her doctor since the air seems better there. You should plant these, they are great plants. Thank you again for your comment.
Beautiful picture. We also have crazy weather, so I’m still waiting for work in the garden.
Thank you, I love the greens this plant offers. I am waiting, this was from last year.
That is a lovely plant, Carol. Today has been quite cold in England. Last week was warm, so the weather has changed, not for the better, this week. I hope it warms up soon now we are in April.
Thanks, it is a favorite. This was from last year, not much this year yet. We are having cold mornings still.
Well, this has been supposed to be officially autumn but the humidity and the heat has made our weather hard to live with. When it gets really bad I turn on our heat pump to suck the moisture out of the air so I can breathe for about 2 months its been like breathing in warm water.The weather is beginning to change.
That bad weather put me into hospital 2 years ago and I nearly died.
I have asthma, but then it was partly my fault for believing a health freak who told me that my asthma medication was rotting my lungs.
So I take asthma medication every day and the asthma nurse explained asthma nicely to me.
Even though I had asthma, before that no one told me what asthma was.
I am not a bad asthmatic, just very mild.
The humidity is the worst. I cannot handle it in the summer. Take care of yourself. My Mom had asthma and back in the day had to use an inhaler every single day.
Yes, I do that too. Half of Auckland has hay fever and asthma problems and a lot of it is due to our weather
I feel for you my friend, take care.
