Very good, thanks. As for the shade/sun issue, we have a whole strip in mostly shade but the entire rest of the place is full sun or nearly full sun.
And oh my yes hostas do bloom. We drove by a bed of them covered in gorgeous white tubular flowers. We have a few blooms now in our yard.
(Edit: That was taken on a full sun day! but as I said, they do grow in the deeply shaded part and this picture came out almost as though it was taken at night.)
But I know they are mostly grown for foliage. Here, slugs are not such a great issue.
Thanks again, you've all been very helpful.
