Hosta 'Designer Genes' 25 May 2026

Today I took my Chevrolet Cruz to the dealer thinking they would only change the oil. It was not to be as they are doing the brakes. I was brought home and the car will be ready mid-afternoon.

It is a rainy and melancholic day. I felt cold. What could I possibly do? In this spring season an uplifting and fun experience is to scan my plants, principally my roses. Yesterday I notice the not yet opened flower of the lovely named  Hosta ‘Designer Genes’. It is a large hosta with light green leaves that become yellow in late summer. I have written many times how some of these hosta flowers resemble the original Star Trek Klingon Bird of Prey space crafts.

I have placed these two scans of the hosta here but I thought I might also one of my cheery Fuji X-E1 Lensbaby snaps of one of my roses that I took yesterday that was a sunny day.
