Ein wunderschöner Blick auf die Funkien, Keit.
Ein gutes Dutzend habe ich auch in Kübeln.
Leider vertragen sie nicht allzu viel Sonne.

Freundliche Grüße und ein schönes Wochenende

The light and colour and all the shapes are beautiful. I bet the slugs have their eyes on them.

These were in amazing condition...........I didn't see any signs of slug attacks. The ones in my garden however have been decimated :-(

Glad you like this shot Jean and thank you.

Oh, that reminds me - I need to put bug bait out for my hosta, Any day, it will show big holes! These are really thriving and your shot of the waves and crinkles is very pretty.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! SOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!!! You have taken such a marvelous picture of these glowing hosta...just wonderful. The leaves are just so wonderful. Great light and shadow detail. I'll be posting a picture of some similar leaves as a main image at some point... the plants aren't hostas but the leaves are heart-shaped with the same beautiful leaves. Aren't they all just so wonderful. I adore hosta though they would never live on our arid property. Do you realize just how many lovely types there are? *swoon*

I had to look...*SQUEEEEE*!!!!!! LOOOOOK AT THEM ALL!!!! AHHHHHH!!!

*falls over* Aren't they just incredible?!! I have been swept away by their beauty and have many pictures to prove it...heh...and I have more to post at some point but...aren't they just breathtaking? (top 8 in search) www.ipernity.com/search/photo?w=290645&q=hosta

Thanks so much for your lovely comments on my droplet-covered flower bud...I am so happy it can live forever in my picture...such a short life but now a sort of immortality, right? And also, glad you enjoyed the wild azalea picture so much...I hope to post some more at some point, they are so pretty. Never fails to blow me away when I see a popular garden flower growing wild...we also saw endless purple irises that would take your heart. Crazy and amazing to see them in their natural home!

And finally, it is an interesting situation to be working on itineraries and trips...there's definitely a learning curve there but I think we're up to the task! :D I expect you are quite the old-hand at this sort of thing with so many adventures under your belt! :)

Have a lovely rest of your day/night!
