Hosta ventricosa....this is a beautiful drift

Only improved likely, by the fall of two large oaks a couple of years back. Now the space gets enough light to maximize growth and flowering but not enough to burn the plants.

Hosta flowers are funny things; individually, or in a raceme, they don't seem like anything to get excited about but in a mass they are sometimes impressive, particularly this species with the dark (relatively) color and the long spikes. They're very nice.
