A quiet bloom of Hosta ‘Fragrant Blue’.
Hosta (Plantain lily, ’Giboushi’ in Japanese) is a genus of flowering plants in the asparagus family. ‘Fragrant Blue' has powdery blue-green leaves and fragrant pale-lavender flowers, suggesting that this lovely cultivar is descended from Hosta plantaginea native to China and Hosta sieboldiana native to Japan.
This is the only dwarf Hosta in the rock garden, all the others are full size and need dividing, I will divide this one as well for the rock garden.
Have a great Sunday everyone!
The English 'Lily' belies the fact that our Hosta is apparently no longer classed among the Lilies. It's regarded as a member of the Asparagaceae.
I saw this pretty lilac one in a wooded area on the shores of the Krumme Lanke, one of the fine lakes to the southwest of the city proper of Berlin. Presumably 'escaped' from one of the gardens of the fashionable homes close by.

Hosta plants grow flowers, and some are lovely and fragrant. But hosta plants are known for their gorgeous overlapping leaves, not for hosta plant flowers.
Hosta plant flowering can be a very fancy affair. The plants flower in summer, offering spikes of blossoms that look like lilies, in shades of lavender or white. The bell-shaped blooms can be showy and exceptionally fragrant, attracting hummingbirds and bees.

Plantain Lily, you don't usually think of hosta blooms as being pretty . But just before they pop out, they have a neat look . I have lots of Hostas in my yard because they grow in shade .
I personally love Hostas , all kinds. They are so diverse.

Hosta is a genus of plants commonly known as hostas, plantain lilies and occasionally by the Japanese name gibōshi. Hostas are widely cultivated as shade-tolerant foliage plants. The genus is placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Agavoideae, and is native to northeast Asia (China, Japan, Korea, and the Russian Far East). Like many "lilioid monocots", the genus was once classified in the Liliaceae. The genus was named by Austrian botanist Leopold Trattinnick in 1812, in honor of the Austrian botanist Nicholas Thomas Host. In 1817, the generic name Funkia was used by German botanist Kurt Sprengel in honor of Heinrich Christian Funck, a collector of ferns and alpines. It was later used as a common name and is referenced in some older literature.
I took over 200 photos including this one on 27th June.
You can see more detail on the original size.
I love the pose with this female broad-tail hummingbird, is feeding on a hosta, also known as a plantain lily, in my backyard. The hanging trumpets require the bird to fly underneath, hover and point its beak straight up, into the purple trumpet.
I sat under the umbrella in my yard for around 1-1+2-hours, waiting for something to happen. Right as I was getting ready to close the umbrella, this little came flitting by.
