A couple interesting things I noticed in the garden this year –

This very healthy hosta has a small area of variegation. I have seen this in years past pictures too. i’m wondering if one of our bee or bird friends accomplished something new next to the existing hosta, or if it has to do with sun exposure. It looks very healthy. That puckering has always been like that. It also easily gets things trapped on the leaves – but that has always been that way too. Some snowy day in January I will have to do more research.

This past week I also noticed the Ivory Queen hosta has a few white blooms with purple veining this year.  Usually they are all purple.  My husband even pointed it out. 

Interesting.  I don’t mind white blooms but I am curious.

I’m guessing sun exposure may play into that one as well. That hosta gets a lot of sun exposure, most intensely in mid June to mid July. I try to shield it with lawn chair placement during that time but eventually I will swap it out. Just not sure with what. A daylily would be too vulnerable there.

Maybe a low growing sedum would do well there. Maybe one of the breakage rootings.
