I love hostas and thought this was a perfect project. The paint colors and pattern are spot on! I was wondering if I could make a plant suggestion to be made? A Rubber Plant. They are one of my favorites, and I think it would be a spectacular addition to your house plant collection.
I’m so glad you love the hosta! We have this rubber plant: https://liagriffith.com/printable-ruby-rubber-plant/, is that what you had in mind?
