I really never want to document (a word used by many photographers which I do not like) garbage or the ugly.

When I scan the plants of my garden particularly my roses I want to do it when they are at their most beautiful prime.

I purchased Hosta ‘Neptune’ last year at Thomas Hobbs’s Southlands Nursery. I was attracted to its narrow and very blue leaves. In our newish Kitsilano garden there is little room so I placed it in an area that got very little light and it was hidden from view by a large hosta. By the time I remembered the plant did not look too good and it had been eaten up by aggressive slugs that were not put off by the thicker substance leaves of this plant.
