The Hosta plants are one of my favorites to watch push up every year through the ground in tightly rolled leaves all together at once. It is as if all the hosta plants all said, "let's go it's time" and they seem to come up at the exact same time and in order. Each one is slightly different in patterns on the leaves and color. This image is of one coming up pushing up through the ground. The designs in the leaves caught my eye and got my camera to capture their beauty, as well as to see God's finely tuned creation unfolding in such an amazing way. I liked the almost abstract look of this image.

Hostas are the number one selling plant in North America. Hosta leaves come in four main colors: blue, green, yellow, and white. Color combinations are also important. The leaves can have different shapes as well as margin colors different from the center color. The leaves can have wide irregular margins or very distinct but thin margins. The spring color also may not be stable all season long. The leaf surface can be flat, curled, cupped, wavy, contorted, piecrust, or furrowed. Flat surfaces have even and smooth features. A rugose leaf has uneven features such as dimpled, puckered, embossed, ruffled, pleated, wrinkled, and crinkled leaf surfaces. Hostas are very beautiful plants. Your appreciation of the Hosta will be cultivated to a higher level by taking a closer look at various aspects of the Hosta.
