Hydrangea
Did you know that the “hydra” in hydrangea means these plants love water? Up here in Seattle they can take full sun, but they must have water and plenty of it. You can also root the pruned stems very easily. When pruning in the spring, just poke the extra stems in the soft ground where they will be shaded by the mother plant, keep all moist, and you will be amazed by how easily they root. New plants!
This lovely specimen is from a friend’s garden. Happy Flowers for Today!
All the photographs on your blog are beautiful! Especially flowers … I felt in love with all those pics!
wow….I catched a photo like that….heheheheheh
I decided to vist and love it your photos.
nice week
truly lovely sandy
A very beautiful hydrangea, great photo. Mine are just now starting to bloom.
Not only do I love the photos, I also love the gardening tips. Thank you for both. This Hydrangea is of the most exquisite color.
Sara: How silly of me to miss the “hydra” no wonder one of my hydrangea bushes keeps drooping! I need to get more water on it!!
Thanks for the tip/reminder! Love the color of this one you show..I have that one too…soon to turn pure pink? ( Mine will) Enjoy viewing all the TF entries! 🙂 NG
I’m glad I thought to add some tips. Might as well share, as gardeners do! Thank you to all who left comments and enjoyed these posts.
The Mopheads didn’t bloom too well here. The winter froze the flower buds, I think. Yours look like they are going to bloom nicely.
I went to an Open Days Garden in Greenwich today. You should have seen this place. I realized I should have called David. I am going to write him an email. He may have went, too.
You have been posting some great shots. Keep up the good work.
I love your hydrangea shot…I have had the hardest time getting a good shot of mine. Yours is perfect!
I love your photos! They’re all so lovely! 🙂
Thanks for sharing 🙂
