Late-Summer Blooms

I noticed today that the hostas in my front shrub bed are in full-bloom.  This is a delight because I thought they were going to shrivel up and die out in the 110 degree drought-ridden months of summer.  So happy that long summer is on its way out and a cool, brisk autumn is just around the corner.  I did a little research and discovered that a common name for hostas is "funkia."  There doesn't seem to be anything funky about them.  The monkey grass...I just appreciate it's beauty, versatility and low-low maintenance.  It's a happy grass.
