This is despite the fact that it was completely anonymous – there was no benefit to going with the status quo. Soon, everyone’s taste had converged – their concept of beauty had shifted, just by using the website. ![]() Although there was no “right” or “wrong” answers, the users soon learnt which types were proving more popular, and started to score other faces along similar lines. After they had made up their mind, some users were shown the average score from other visitors. The researchers used a dating website that allowed users to rate random people. It found that those with the most symmetrical features had been no fitter than the others.Ĭonsider this recent experiment from Johns Hopkins Carey Business School in Baltimore. Although previous research had found some evidence for the idea, a 2014 study took 3D scans of nearly 5,000 teenagers and quizzed them about their medical history. In fact, facial symmetry may not even say much about your health. When Stefan Van Dongen at the University of Antwerp conflated the results in a large meta-analysis, he found the effect almost disappears when you consider enough people. The problem had been that many of the previous experiments had asked just a small number of subjects to rate different faces – making it easier for fluke results to jump out. A slightly lopsided face should therefore be a sign of physical weakness – making them less appealing as the parent of your children. The scientific explanation seems sound: disease and stress during childhood could subtly influence the body’s development, creating an “instability” that leads one side to grow slightly differently to the other. The most dangerous injury can by caused by slugs, snails and deers.Consider the apparently received wisdom that we prefer symmetrical, evenly balanced features. Hostas are almost fully disease and pest resistant. Most of them are medium sized or large perennials. Reserve a plenty of space in your perennial bed for hostas. Hostas grow slowly and may take 2 to 5 years to reach their full size, longer for the largest species and cultivars. Give them water regularly during their first one or two growing season. ![]() Water your hostas well immediately as you plant them. Plants with thick leaves are better suited for dry soil conditions than thin-leaved ones, but none is able to grow years-long in very dry soil. Blue color of leaves turns to green-blue or even fully green with too much direct sun. Variegated varieties, especially those with a lot of white in the leaves, burn very easily. This is the most critical where temperatures are high. The most dangerous is a direct sunshine, especially hot afternoon sun. Usually the yellow cultivars are the most sun-tolerant. The green and blue hostas are the most shade-tolerant. Filtered sun is best for the colorful varieties to reach their full color contrast. Save light shade to shade place in your garden to plant hostas. This is small sized hosta! Not as large as Halcyon! Borders green-blue, creamy, very narrow center. Beautiful hosta with heart-shaped leaves. Hosta Timeless Beauty is another nice cultivar from a series of 'Halcyon' offspring. ![]()
