Hostas are most wonderful. And tough as nails. I love 'em.

Lovely. For the past ten or so years, each year I dragged (read: had husband drag) four tropical hibiscus...hibiscii  ... into the basement. Drag back out each spring. By the time they'd recover and start blooming it would usually be latter part of July or August.
I decided this year to quit, cease, and desist. Too much work for too little result. All four stayed outside, plus a mandevilla vine. We'll see how I feel about that when spring arrives. |

Hopelessly optimistic is a beautiful way to go through life. And rather unrealistic for a tropical plant in zone 6. Here in these parts, we call those kind of plants annuals, unless we have a greenhouse.  |

Late to the party. Here's a few. I have a thing for trees.
My ornipets on the west bank.
View from kitchen window hosta guardian angel with Caryopteris snow fairy.
Siberian Iris along greenhouse (Annabelle's in back aren't blooming yet).
Stewartia in flower.
Epaulette tree in flower.
Bottlebrush buckeye flowers.
Ornipet 'American West.'
My garden is going to live on in KS w Water Witchin.
