Let's Streak

It's time for
The Let's Streak Hosta is a rare hosta that is not registered right now.  This is the second year I have had this plant in my garden.  Every spring there is a wonderful plant sale at a private house that has amazing varieties of hosta and other plants.  This plant was bought for me by my good friend.  Last season it was small but this year I was thrilled to see two flower spikes develop.  I've been watching it carefully and taking photos along the way.
The blooms opened in the last couple of days and they are wonderful.

Don't you just love the streaking on the blooms?
 I included a copy of the detailed plant poke info that the wonderful lady at the plant sale adds to all her plants.

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you can take a moment to leave a comment and say hi.

  3. Oh yes, those are very pretty. I did get a bit confused by your post title, though. LOL But now I understand. I thought to myself, "My, what a free spirit Linda has."

    I hope you do have a wonderful weekend,
