unsung

did you know there are over 6,100 registered and named varieties of hostas? with that many cultivars around, one would think that hosta flowers would get a little more recognition than they do. i have ideal growing conditions for hosta, but i don’t cultivate them. we try to stick to native plants our land. the hosts in my woods are all escapees from other gardens. so stumbling upon their uncelebrated flower scapes in the woods, poking out of the leaf litter, feels a little like finding spring ephemerals in may. in other words, it’s a delight. i am a fan of hosta flowers.
