This shot is already my favorite hosta pic so far this year. :D

I guess those darker green divisions don't get this 1st shot of morning light after all. :???: :wink:

Wouldn't the divisions getting more light green up faster? I, too, have been amazed how fast WWT multiplies.

It is amazing how fast they grow once their noses poke out of the ground. I, also, love that last combo pic! Great angle! :D

You would think so, Mary Ann, but this is White Wall Tire - I know that whatever I expect will happen with it tends not to. :wink: LOL

Thanks, Joan - view finders on digital cameras are a wonderful thing. :wink: :P I would have had to be laying on the ground to get that shot otherwise. :???:
