Hosta of the Day "Ventricosa Aureomarginata"- Post Your Pics

Post by Phil_and_Gayle »

How many people like this oldie-but-goodie? It doesn't last a long time in our gardens (by late August it's looking pretty forlorn) but it's so darn gorgeous early on that we think it's worth it. I should probably get a better camera - or a better photographer ;>) to do it justice.

Isn't Phil and Gayle's plant (above) a beauty? This photo was taken at the Montreal Botanical Gardens September 1, 2016. It seems to really stand out---maybe because it is surrounded by green? Looks like it has held up pretty well for this time of year.
