| Hosta 'Paul's Glory' 31 August 2025 |
This old man who has had too much to think is constantly thinking in two languages and comparing and contrasting expressions.
Today in my scanning plant obsession and compulsion, I have been using hostas that have fall colouring on their leaves.
Since I started scanning my plants around the summer of 2001 I may now have over 4000 of them. While I started with the idea of plant accuracy I am not getting artsy. In Spanish the translation of “a one trick pony” is “el mismo perro pero con diferente collar” which translates to ‘the same dog with a different collar”.
Thinking about these fall hosta leaves I now believe that as lovely as they look I am accurately depicting their transformation which just happens to be beautiful.
I will have to wait for the winter to see what else I can find of that same dog.
