Hostas are very popular for their foliage.  I certainly understand that.  But I’ve always thought their flowers have potential, too.  Here is the one in the Douglas fir bed doing the genus proud:

In the same bed, the lavender asters are starting their show.  I watered that bed today, which  inevitably led to rain falling from the sky.  It wasn’t enough rain to count, though, so I just kept watering.

The combination of sprinkler and clouds created some nice water drops on the Aquilegias.

Most of the poor shrub roses have been overwhelmed by bindweed, but this one stretched one branch out and bloomed again.

Below is a close-up of one of the flowers.

Here is one of the huge Prime Ark blackberries.  That is my thumbnail next to it for reference.  (And I don’t have tiny little hands like some people.)

While the sprinkler was running, I had a little visitor come in for a bath!  And this time I had the camera with me!

I was probably within 12 feet of this charmer, and that didn’t bother it at all!

Another view of the little bather.

And another.
