Did you know the color of hydrangea blossoms depends on the soil. ALL the hydrangeas on Cape Cod, where I grew up, were blue. When I moved out to western MA, they're all cream and rose... turns out the pines and oaks on the coast result in acid soil and blue flowers. Some people out here water their hydrangeas with vinegar water to get blue blooms !
