Today to hopefully bring a smile I am sharing a piece of summer. The hosta flower is often overlooked as everyone grows hostas for their wonderful foliage. (You get a sense of the pillowy texture of the leaf behind the bud here.) But even the buds themselves have a gentle beauty in their own right. As does this one with its soft tones of purple and green reaching as if hopefully toward the light. I hope today has (or has had) moments of peace, creativity and positivity for all my friends.

The colours of the bud reflect the colours in the leaf – great synchronicity. Another great find and sharing. Keep it up.
Thanks so much, it’s a favourite of mine. I will do my best to keep this going as long as I can… x
Very beautiful flower and background! I can already feel the good smell.
Thanks so much for your kind thoughts, Banafshe. I always appreciate your comments.
Love the way you bring out the colour texture and little detail of all the flower we sometime miss with just a quick glance
Thanks Linda. It’s also true that it’s the camera that makes me more aware of these details and this often overlooked beauty myself.
