Here are featured three plants growing in the front shade garden. The Hosta Blue Umbrellas shots were taken after the last rain... when has it not rained? Well yesterday we made it through the Garden Tour for the library without a drip! The Hosta flowers look like jewels with the rain drops from two days ago and you can see perfect mini reflections of the host leaves in the tiny droplets. The deep purple of the Campanula trachelium is striking next to the green of other Hosta varieties. I love the delicate bells of the Digitalis Lutea as it rises above a sea of sweet fern.
