Fading Hostas

I do enjoy the beauty I see in plants in Fall, as they fade from their normal state.  I do see beauty in the way they change color and lose their shape and ultimately collapse.  I guess it is beauty in death, in a way.  This is a huge plant in the garden along the side of our house, brilliant green all year long with huge leaves.  And then in fall, the green turns to brilliant yellow, then brown, and then without even a frost, the stalks begin to just collapse, as you see them here.  I guess to me, this is really about design and color.
