Hosta flowers


These beautiful Hosta flowers were in bloom on 21 July 2017, when friend, Dorothy, invited me over for a BBQ supper and the chance to maybe see and take photos of the beautiful Ruby-throated Hummingbird that had been visiting their colourful garden. Hosta plants are better known for their beautiful overlapping leaves, rather than their flowers. I did try to get an OK photo of the Hummingbird when a group of us was there for a BBQ just a matter of days earlier, but I didn't get a single photo that was fit to post. This tiny bird had been extra busy at their feeders full of sugar-water, getting ready for her long migration journey across the Gulf of Mexico. Her nonstop journey would be more than 1,030 km.
Thanks so much, Dorothy and Stephen, for such a lovely time! The meal was delicious, and it was so much fun to get a better look at your tiny Hummingbird. Like other years, you must miss her when she leaves! Hopefully, she will return next summer.
