Balloon Flowers and Hostas in Bloom


Balloon Flowers are one of my favorites. They grow like a hollow ball, or a balloon, then bloom. They are a perennial, so I don't have to do anything but watch them bloom every year.



I have lots of Hostas in my yard. They grow long stalks of blooms once during the summer, but are known for their amazing foliage. They need lots of shade.
