Here's a pic of this area's only native treefrog, the northern Spring Peeper. There are a few of them in my yard:

Little frog, big hosta.

Cute!

If your place were in BC, it would immediately be "listed" as a riparian "conservation" area.
From then on, you wouldn't even be allowed to sneeze on your sundeck.

Nice frog.........do you want some Hosta seed? I have a large leaf variegated form which produces large blue leafed offspring........ It self seeds all over my yard.......very easy. I'll take a photo to show you.

this type of Hosta self seeds all over the yard. My other form does not? It has nice blue, round leaves.

Nice Hosta and Frog Cameron, I love that shade of green, on the hosta the frog looks so tiny. We have Spring peepers here too. Jim nice Hosta seedlings. I have about 20 different kinds of Hosta and some set seed but iv never had them self seed in my garden, pretty sweet.

Thanks, guys.

Tim, I have a similar Hosta to the one in the photo, but it's not variegated. It's called "Drinking Gourd"
