All things must pass . . but the hosta likely sees this as a beginning and not an end !

Very nicely seen. No slug problems then? :)

@grouser: We've had a lot of rain this summer but the slugs must be elsewhere. They haven't been much of a problem.

"Just as thing have a beginning, so they always have an end". The flower with its beautiful figure will surely make you enjoy next season. I guess that you'd grow some elegant flowers in your nice garden.
Have a great week, Elaine. :)
