[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a flower from a hosta plant in my garden.

According to Wikipedia: Hostas are widely-cultivated ground cover plants, particularly useful in the garden as shade-tolerant plants. Hybridization within and among species and cultivars has produced numerous cultivars, with over 3000 registered and named varieties, and perhaps as many more that are not registered yet. Cultivars with golden- or white-variegated leaves are especially prized. Popular cultivars include 'Francee' (green leaves with white edges), 'Gold Standard' (yellow leaves with green edges) 'Undulata' (green leaves with white centers), 'June' (blue-green leaves with creamy centers), and 'Sum and Substance' (a huge plant with chartreuse-yellow leaves). Newer, fragrant cultivars such as 'Guacamole' are also popular.

Hostas are notoriously a favorite food for deer.

Cropped photo, sharpened slightly, increased saturation, added border and signature. I hope you like it.

Linda,
Very nicely satirated and I really like a diagonal coposition of the the flower, the dof is very nicely seperates the subject from the background. The details is very sharp at the right places...
Most excellent:)
