The hydrangeas before the deer showed up and devoured them. Oh, well.
The sandbag dike had not only been protecting the house from the flood waters, but also the gardens from the deer. Not anymore. Now that most of the sandbags have been removed, the deer have returned to their all-you-can-eat buffet. Time for other protection measures.

Hydrangea flowers, when cut, dehydrate easily and wilt very fast due to the large surface area of the petals.

Pink Hydrangea
by Rainer Maria Rilke
( translation: Walter Arndt )
Who thought such pink could be? Who knew it there
Accumulating in each blushing cluster?
Like gilded things which by and by unluster
They gently grow unred as if from wear.
That one should give such rosiness out free!
Does it stay theirs still, smiling where it went?
Are angels there to take it tenderly like a scent?
Or, it may be, they only let it go
That it might never learn of overblowing.
Beneath this pink there lurked a greenness, though,
Which listened and now fades away, all knowing.
The hydrangeas in my garden have taken over and are at their peak right now. My clematis is also in full bloom.

It can be difficult to find #blueflowers for your garden rainbow 🌈. With the right soil, #hydrangeas could give you that perfect cool blue hue. When grown in acidic soils hydrangeas produce blue flowers, excepting those cultivars that have been bred to be a specific color.
Aluminum sulfate can be added to your #Floridagarden to lower soil pH, although it may take a few #blooming cycles for the color to shift from pink to blue. Remember, a soil test is always an important step before you start working with soil amendments.
Our best plant - guaranteed to produce a wide range of colours,, 2m high. Now is this one flower/ part of a flower or a cluster?
Hydrangea .
"But how could anyone who's ever seen a summer- big recordings of green and skies lit up electric with splashy sunsets, a riot of flowers and wind that smells like concert- pick the snow?"

A gift from Kate's mom and step-dad last year at our house warming party. Once we moved it into this larger pot it's doing much better.

Etymology
The generic name Broussaisia was named in behalf of François-Joseph-Victor Broussais (1772-1838), a celebrated French physician and psycologist.
The specific epithet arguta means "sharp or sharp-tooted," likely referring to the sharp edges of the kanawao leaves.
