Hostas are one of my favorite flowers. Hostas are so hardy and it amazes me every year when they start to sprout up out of the ground in the spring. I enjoy watching them unfold their leaves and turn into beautiful plants. I collect them for the leaves and colors of the plants. I love the huge ones like Sum and Substance or Sum IT Up. I have friends that collect different Hostas for their names. For example there are patriotic names like, Liberty, Patriot, Minutemen, etc..
One of my favorite flowers are Gloriosa Daisies. I have grown them from seed but, they seed down from the year before.
Last summer I had really good luck with these flowers, Osteosperum.
A few years ago one of my friends rented a drill and drilled into the sand stone. It is great to plant sedums in.
These pictures make me yearn for spring. I know it's not far off because my daylilies are sprouting but it's chilly and cloudy today. I'd love to get out and work in my flower beds.
