Day 277: Hostas are rewarding plants in the shady garden. I have heard it said that the variegated-leaf varieties may revert to all or mostly green if exposed to too much sunlight, so mine grow in the north flowerbed, blocked from all but early morning sun and happy as Larry. The flowers are not really the plant's best feature; that's the domain of the foliage. That said, when the long stalks appear with a delicious blush of soft lavender, one almost expects more than the pale trumpets of the fully open form.
