"You don't grow hostas for their flowers!"

[wyld_dandelyon]

Well, maybe YOU don't. 

My Angel adopted the area between our house and the fence along our property line as her shade garden, and came in one day telling me about the neighbor who was laughing at her for saying she likes hosta flowers.  So, neighbor-guy, you may laugh at us, and we'll laugh right back atcha!

Oh--and no one steals these flowers!

Of course, there's a fence guarding them...and they're not near the sidewalk.

Well done to Your Angel for growing such healthy looking hostas.

Most people I know that grow them spend most of the time tearing their hair out because they are the favourite dinner of slugs and snails and get eaten flat.

If you listen to any episode of "Gardener's Question Time" nearly always there is someone struggling to keep hostas alive.

Slugs have found my cabbages :-( but not the hostas.

I like hosta flowers. And I think I've seen hummingbirds around hosta flowers, too. In my mind, anything that attracts hummingbirds is a good thing.

I have to agree! I love hummingbirds, and would be very pleased to find some in my yard.
