| Another species hosta, this
one has very distinctive and unusual yellowish green leaves with a waxy white
underside. Interesting note—this was because in the wild they are found
growing on sunny, south facing canyon walls, clinging to rock ledges. The
white undercoating on the leaves and petioles was an adaptation to protect
against the intense summer heat (clever hosta!). Generally, they grow few but
very large leaves that spread horizontally, and have white flowers. Very
limited supply! |
