Day 258: Hosta "Gold Dust" is a yellowish chartreuse bordered in a deeper green. The heart of the leaf can be yellowish-white in stronger light, but the delicate veination is always apparent. It is this stitchery which makes Hostas so appealing in the garden. With their wrinkly, crinkly texture, they could be quilts for the faerie folk, fabric for the garden gnomes' jackets. And they're virtually waterproof, as you can see...Nature's own version of Goretex, and therefore perfectly suited for the Pacific Northwe't.
