For Macro Mondays Redux 2021, two themes 'Orange' and 'Leaf'.
I have been keeping a hosta plant in a pot in my conservatory - as it is a pretty variegated variety with patches of different shades of green and yellow, I wanted to safeguard it from being ravaged by snails in my garden. Although the hostas in my garden died back a few weeks ago, this plant has only recently begun to die back likely owing to the relative shelter and warmth in the conservatory, turning a lovely shade of yellow/orange.
Ironically, I was keeping this hosta away from snails in the garden, but I have used some of the leaves as a yummy food source for my over-wintering snails.
No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph, but were very well fed! Brian and all his friends wish everyone a Happy New Year and look forward to more photographic adventures in 2022.
