An Eastern Tiger Swallowtail butterfly pausing for a moment before it dives deeply into the Calx of a Hosta flower to gather a drop, or two, of its sweetness.
Yesterday morning, I was treated to the scene of this female Ruby-throated Hummingbird bathing herself on this leaf of a large hosta plant, still wet with drops of water from the previous night's rain. She seemed to be thoroughly enjoying cleaning her feathers by moving her little body around on the wet leaf. I know that I thoroughly enjoyed watching her.
Thanks to all who visit, fave, comment, and extend invitations. Your support is much appreciated. I will be sure to visit your work, too
The gigantic hosta in my yard are blooming and these blossoms are gorgeous! (STILL trying to get out of my backyard... :}}} )
... unfortunately already over again!

in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
Hostas very hardy plant, it does spread out and is easy to root, the flowers are tall and a bit spindly I think, it grows well in warm climates, shot in North Carolina.
I look forward to spring when the hostas will be pushing up through the ground around our home. Notice how each leaf has a drop of dew on its tip.
