I don’t think there’s anything prettier than the greens of spring. The vibrant colors of new leaves as they grow are just beautiful to me.
This is a photo of new Hosta leaves. I took the photo just after it had rained which of course is why they are covered in water droplets. I actually have an even pretty picture of the hosta leaves on my photo blog Breath of Life if you’d care to take a look at it. I’m actually quite happy with the way both photos turned out.
As you’ve probably noticed I love taking photos of flowers. I think this year I’m going to try to capture the beauty of foliage a little more often than I’ve tried in the past.
Don’t forget to check out the Chive blooms on As the Garden Grows too!
I’m way behind in posting my Green Thumb Sunday post. I thought that I’d be creating a number of posts on Sunday and didn’t want my GTS post to get buried to fast. I might as well have posted this early Sunday morning because I didn’t get around to doing all the posts that I knew were coming until late Sunday evening. Next time!
I hope to get around to all the GTS sites through the week. I will try. I promise!

I must admit: your pictures are excellent. Keep up good work!
I am a real nature lover… good job on the photos! the details are vivid and colors are rich.. keep ’em coming! =)
Love the photo! I almost bought some hostas this week, but I’m not sure how big they get so I didn’t know if they would go well in my garden. My “real” plant guy was absent the day I went to the nursery and the other workers don’t seem to know a thing!
Excellent photo! I have the knack for killing plants so I’ve never been too lucky with them. Now where I’m living I don’t have any green space and I find I miss it terribly.
Hostas are a great plant to grow surrounded by mulch. At least that’s what I did with it.
I was unaware what Hosta was! Thanks for showing me.
This is the number ONE reason I visit your blogs. I love love love the macro pics of flowers. I love Florida, really I do. Nonetheless, I miss the vegetation that comes with living outside of this subtropic state.
I was in my 20’s walking around a university town during ‘frosh’ week . I walked past a couple of young student one of whom was vomiting into some unlucky landscaper’s bed of hostas. For some reason I couldn’t resist the urge to say ‘Hosta la Vista, Baby’ to her. It was one of those ‘you had to be there and you had to know your plants’ things.
Amazing photography as always. You certainly know how to bring out the best in a plant. I love hostas and this photograph has just inspired me to get snapping away at the beautiful foliage of the varieties I have in my garden here in England.
