Hosta

Hosta spp.

Appearance: Hostas are plants with broad oval leaves that like the shade. Their leaves can be entirely green   or they may be variegated. They grow trumpet-shaped purple or white flowers on a stalk. 

The hosta is native to Asia and is grown in Japanese gardens because of its understated habit. The writer of Proverbs compared the righteous person to a green leaf that flourishes. 

He who leans on and trusts in and is confident in his riches will fall, But the righteous [who trust in God’s provision] will flourish like a green leaf.

Proverbs 11:18      AMP
