I have many different types of hostas. This is the one that only produced its buds last week, the last to flower.

I have two sorts of Hostas and one of them has enormous mega leaves. You can really rely on them flowering every year.

This hosta has been in my garden for the past 18 years and every year the leaves get bigger.

They have been in my garden for at least 15 years and every year it seems to me that the leaves get bigger. Even my gardener has remarked on their size.
Flower of the Day: 26.08.2017 Hosta
At the end of June my giant hostas were flowering. Now I am only left with seed pods, but also quite spectacular. I love this plant. It returns every year, although it seems to me the leaves are getting larger year by year.

Flower of the Day: 19.06.2016 Hosta
Hostas have big leaves, this year mega leaves, king sized, because of the monsoon style rain we have been having. At last they are beginning to flower. These are the first, but it looks like there will be many to come – watch this space.
Colour Your World: Fern
I very rarely see a fern in my area. This was why I took this photo. It was growing all on its own. At last a fern for my photo collection.
These are hostas. I have two beds of them in my garden. They are very good to have if you are a lazy gardener like me. Once in the ground they stay and begin to grow about end February, beginning March. Their leaves are enormous and they flower. Beneath the growth there is some sort of secret life going on amongst the bugs, worms and slugs, but I do not really want to know what happens. In Autumn the leaves turn yellow, but wait, do not remove the leaves. Wait until it gets really cold and damp and the leaves surrender. All you have to do is give them a pull, collect them and throw them away. As I said, a great plant for lazy gardeners.
