Time Lapse Hostas


The front yard flowerbed at my house has been a project for the last few years.  A few unpleasant bushes were removed and the ivy was trimmed.  Daffodil and tulip bulbs, azaleas, and hostas were planted in their place.  The flowerbed gets morning light and comes alive slowly for the first weeks of Spring.  Once the hosta bulbs burst through the soil, the pace of growth is rapid and each day brings a little more unfurling.  This Spring, I stopped to make a picture of that process each day for a week.  From day 1 to day 2 is a bit of a Mother Nature magic in my own yard.



Each day brings a little more green and a little more growth.


I daydream of staying outside all day just to watch it happen.


In the Spring light, the green plants are verdant and lush.


Each day brings a bit more of the brilliant green.


By the end of the summer, the hostas will fill three times as much space as they occupy now.  I can never get enough of them, so that will be very happy indeed.
