Hydrangeas....

We have 2 hydrangea bushes on the side of our home....


...and they must love rain....


...because we have had our share of it this year...


....but what intrigues me the most...


...is that each bush has 3-4 different shades of pinks and lavender...


...and these blooms were all cut from the same bush!

  3. So gorgeous! I keep trying to grow them, but my husband pointed out that we never see them in yards around town, so maybe they just can't handle the heat in central Texas. I have two in pots, so maybe . . . .

  4. Purty ms Pandora!!!!! I have huge plants that when we planted were blue. Over the yrs they all turned pink. So this spring we fertilized ground with whatever u put in to change the soil. First blooms started and I watched them daily with anticipation. Nope. Nada. Still pink as they can be but still beautiful!
    Next yr I'm gonna really load the soil with blue power!!!

  5. Your Hydrangeas are spectacular! I am amazed that you have such lovely shades of pink and blue on one plant. I thought the color depended on whether the soil is acid or alkaline, at least that it what I have read. Is your soil magic? Thank-you for sharing. P.S. Love your blog!! Ellen

  6. Simply beautiful shades of color from your hydrangeas Patti. Ask Sarah, she's the garden expert as to why the difference. I had beautiful and plentiful hydrangeas at the last home we were in and I tried growing here but they do not like it! I keep them in containers to enjoy during the summer. Happy weekend.......

  7. Beautiful Patti. Love the colors, soft and romantic. We need more shade so they will do well. I can never get enough of these pretty flowers.

  8. So pretty! I am so envious! I took my hydrangeas out because they didn't bloom for a few years and I miss them. Amazing the colors you have from one bush!
