Each morning I've been getting up at dawn and taking pictures of my irises. The iris season is winding down so this morning I did a Hosta walk........I will post these in several groups as I took a lot of pictures.

Thanks Cinta.......several years ago when I started visiting garden web sites I posted a few pictures of Hosta and a Lady from back east said she was surprised that Hosta would grow In Utah. We are a desert state but are more than desert and sagebrush. In many of the cities, where a source of water is available, there are many diverse and beautiful gardens. More pictures later.....I need to get off the computer and mop a dirty kitchen floor Thumbs down

All beautiful, but your Patriot and Orange Marmalade are absolutely gorgeous! Mine are pretty sad compared to yours! Pocketful of Sunshine is going on my wishlist now.
