Hosta Leaf, Old Farm House Garden, Lewisburg, Ohio © Doug Hickok
By being planted next to a pond, in a humid climate, this green hosta is getting its due... by accumulating dew overnight, it absorbs the morning moisture through its large leaves, thus satisfying its inveterate thirst for water.
Due to the deep grooves running the length of the leaves, moisture is duly channeled and gathered for optimum consumption.
