A friendly cashier at our Home Depot once gave me a valuable tip on how to grow blue hydrangeas without too much hassle. She advised me to bury a rusty nail near the hydrangea to raise soil acidity. Voila! My hydrangea is blooming blue after being cut down. 😄
The colours are changing fast, each morning the tones are stronger and brighter. These are the leaves from my Hydrangea shrub.
Beautiful hydrangea at BBG.
The summer-produced flower heads are composed of a row of sterile florets around the large central flower cluster. The lacecap flowers are blue in acidic soil and pink in alkaline areas. When winter temperatures drop below 10 degrees F, the bloom buds may be killed...that's okay, though, since the white edged foliage is so wonderful! Expect a 3' tall x 5' wide clump at maturity.

THE LACE-MAKER
Dentelle in French=Lace.
This bloom of Hydrangea turned into lace... skeletal... beautiful and delicate. I gently brought it in.
The flower spoke to me of essence, the spine, the veins, nerves; I thought of an Autumn bride and all things romantic.
With love to you and thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

By early, I mean early in their development.
We have a pretty large Hydrangea plant, but we aren't very good at getting it to flower. It looks like we'll have some this year, apparently pink ones -- hydrangeas also have blue flowers, sometimes both colors on the same plant. Taken after a rain.
You are invited to see a Gallery of photos of hydrangea flowers, by other people.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
This is possibly a Hydrangea Arboreacent, or smooth hydrangea, wild hydrangea, sevenbark or even sometimes sheep hydrangea. Any clever flower people who come this way might like to confirm or otherwise!
Thanks for texture to Dewberry Parfume! :-) And VERY BIG, HUGE "Thank You" for all the comments - busy today as packing and off to Poland for 2 weeks on Saturday! Still I wll leave a few phtos behind me! :-)
Last year we didn’t have any blooms on our hydrangea plants. This year they look to be making up for last year.

- Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' is one of the most winter hardy hydrangeas. An important feature is that it flowers on new shoots so you better prune or trim it early in the season to achieve a denser plant and to avoid it grows to tall. If pruned it will grow to ca. 150 - 200cm
This is a panicle type hydrangea, not a mop-head one with big leaves and large flowers heads. Well, how to explain then that this new variety has even bigger flowers? Never mind, let’s just call them XXL size. The panicles are upto 30 cm long, fat blossoms of greenish-white colour when they come out in early August, changing to almost white after about 2-3 weeks and turning clear pink in September. The shade of pink is not a fading one, but fresh pink as if it was meant to be pink from the very beginning. Ovate, pointed leaves are dark green.
- Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' wordt, mits jaarlijks eind februari gesnoeid, 150 - 200cm hoog.
De plant bloeit langdurig, van juli t/m oktober met grote bloempluimen ( 25 – 30 cm groot) in een groen/witte kleur. De kleur is afhankelijk van de vruchtbaarheid van de grond. Hoe armer de grond is, hoe witter de bloem wordt. Voor de bijzondere, haast lichtgevende, groene kleur heb je dus een vruchtbare grond nodig.
Per tak groeit er één grote bloem. In september en oktober kleuren de bloemen roze. Het is mooi om in de winter de bloemen aan de struik te laten zitten. Ze kleuren bruin en zorgen vooral bij sneeuw voor een prachtig beeld in de tuin. Vogeltjes zijn ook altijd nog blij met oude bloempluimen, vanwege insecten die zich erin verschuilen.
Another version of blue Hydrangea which I started posting a few weeks.
Image was captured back in 2005 with a Panasonic FZ20 and edited and toned on the iPad in Snapseed.
The Hydrangeas did very well this year, although in general the heads are smaller probably due to the hot summer.
Now some have been dried and form a lovely dash of colour in the room.
Hydrangea, the name, comes from the Greek words "hydro" or water, and "angeion," or vase = water vase, they prefer a lot of water.
A very ancient plant, found in fossils going back thousands of years.
Flower lovers will know that there is a flower language.
Every sentiment is expressed in one form or another by delicate blooms.
Of course, even the experts disagree on the "true meaning" of many flowers and most have different meanings to different people.
So, while all flowers convey thoughtfulness and love, a gift of flowers for a special someone will always create its own personal meaning, too.
HYDRANGEA - Thank You for Understanding.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments with all my heart, M, (*_*)
