Not sure what this is ... some variety of hosta, perhaps? It was in a shady bed and doing quite well there.

What a lovely little community you've found. Looks like everyone is about ready to pop. I love the subdued light. A very serene setting.
Have no idea what it is, but it's sure unique. Looks kinda like a plant I saw in Mexico, but I know that's not possible!!
very lovely
gorgeous flower and shot
It's a Phygelius, possibly Yellow Trumpet. Also called a Cape Figwort. Super photo, I find mine very difficult to make a portrait!
Thanks for the ID! It's nice to know. :)
Wonderful capture of this cool looking plant
Lovely capture T!'!
Can't help with the name... but what ever it is it sure beats the weeds in my garden
It's a flower, that's my professional opinion.
A beautiful capture of this pretty flower.
I hope Andrea got it right, I don't know what it is, except I'm sure it isn't a hosta, despite the flowers being similar. The leaves are totally different! Whatever it is, you got a stunning portrait of it!
beautiful
(ok, here goes...) It's definitely not a hosta (give me a break!), and with all due respect to Andrea, it's not a Phygelius, Yellow Trumpet, or "Cape Figwort". I've seen Cape Figworts, and, trust me, this is a Cape Figwort like I'm an NFL halfback. This is either a Capsicum Fragellius or a Bogwort Caravelium (sometimes known as a Camelia Figwort Brendonkopf)-----ok, this isn't remotely funny, so I'll move on. (See what we wannabe-comics will do for a laugh? which is sad, considering we rarely get one...) I haven't a clue what this is, but you caught it delicately and boldly. Delicate in textures and hue, yet bold in relation to that dark background. And composed well too, with it flowing from upper left to lower right (gently). Fine clarity considering it's against such dark leaves. A shot that feels like a glimpse into a private space---something you do really well, and it always feels like a little revelation. Delicate and beautiful...And re its identity? One of 3 things: 1) Yellow eggplants hanging off a stem, 2) socks filled with wet concrete, or 3) a tree with lots of leaves chewing bubble gum, and trying to blow bubbles. I'll go with the last one. (Cape Figwort...she's making that s___ up, right? Give me a break...what some people will say...shameful...)
Fantasic capture Tara. I like the contrast!
A lovely photo, Tara! Whatever they are, they're lovely, and you captured the subtle grace of these blooms.
Fine capture.
This is such a lovely coming out against the dark background, my friend. I love it that it looks like some matches 'are peeping out'. And when I look at the leaves it are definitive no Hosta's, my dear ;-)
