Description
This year's hosta crop seemed to be unique. For one thing, it was late and as I continued to see just green leaves I worried a bit. And then it happened, the long stems, the buds....but look closely, this year it seemed that there were too many buds, a profusion in fact...almost a crowd up there on the pale green stem. All that rain. Nature will make its statement, disclose the secrets of the earth.

Beautiful closeup of the delicate Hosta flower... gorgeous work, Nancy. LF
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
The leaves are so beautiful, the rock garden well watered. I'm waiting now for the first bloom!!! Thanks, Mary!
Karen Adams
So lovely! Hostas are, of course, loved for their foliage, but their delicate blooms are so lovely too! Nature making us wait is quite a clever way to make us even more grateful when the bloom finally comes out! Beautiful work, Nancy! . . . .f/l
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
This year's crop well established and the leaves are beginning to unfurl! I love spring and hostas always give me the first joy! Thanks, Karen!

While looking at it I can feel like the buds are opening slowly spreading fragrance....Such a lively capture dear Nancy.So tempting to pluck those beauties....what a color and your description is so wonderful!!!! (F/L)
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
So happy you fell under the Hosta's charm. This year's "crop" has not emerged yet, but so soon without any help from me they will push up from the earth! Thanks, Latha for your kind praise!

So nice to visit the hosta patch in winter!!! It's the first spring sprout to emerge but I'll have to admit, the oak tree already has full buds....and it just lost its leaves. Amazing nature!! Thanks, I'ina. I'll get art busy soon!

Beautiful and so alive.
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
This year's crop is tumbling down the front yard in a rock garden...looking very healthy, except for one which seems to have been visited by a rabbit. Time for some cayenne pepper and water!

How sweet of you to swing back around to my wonderful hosta. With snow on the ground and bitter cold in sway I'm yearning for these guys to play magic on my front lawn!
Lois Bryan
I love these guys ... beautiful capture of the sweet blossom!!!!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks, Lois. These hostas are so independent, just have a riot of activity in my front yard every year....and they're now awaiting their fall clean up!
Elizabeth Tillar
Nancy, what an amazing capture of this hosta! I love your description, too, with a memorable last line: "Nature will make its statement, disclose the secrets of the earth." I also love the profusion of buds and leaves--what a wonderful perspective! l/f
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I just cleaned my hosta beds this week. I always feel sad to see them go. Then I noticed at the botanical gardens that many varieties are just ready to bloom. I wonder now about getting some new bulbs!!!
Nancy Kane Chapman
Thanks for this lovely comment, Marsha. I've had my sister and brother visiting so haven't had time to answer comments. So appreciate this.
Marsha Heiken
Nancy,I love the look of this birth. Buds are amazing to me,like a baby in a pregnant mommies belly.! It is very emotional if our flowers don't come up. I have 3 daughters 51,48,45 (I Think) ! Nice talk friend,Marsha F/L
Meg Shearer
Elegant and beautiful! Marvelous shot Nancy! l/f!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
I get the honor every year because they are the first sign of spring...emerging from hard soil...and they are so sturdy, standing tall in the rain. I have to admire them!
Sarah Loft
Beautiful!
Nancy Kane Chapman replied:
Thanks, Sarah. I can't keep my camera in my pocket when they're in bloom!
