Hydrangeas at the hotel

Hydrangeas bloom in planters along Park Avenue on Manhattan's East Side. I love the green tones of the just-opening pom-poms.

Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments. Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday.

Source: Dave's Garden. com, "Late summer is usually a tired time in the garden. Everything seems to be getting ready for a long winter's sleep and there isn't much blooming to keep things interesting. But if you have a few Hydrangea paniculata, your late summer garden goes from ho-hum to spectacular."

Well said, Dave. This is a pretty corner of the Agricultural Building on the Iowa State Fairgrounds. It's been two weeks since the fair, and this bush is really beautiful!

They have an interesting texture.
