Wow - I wish mine looked like that - they are decidedly weedy!

Beautiful, I also love Hydrangeas and take great pleasure in rescuing poorly ones at the garden centre, then bringing them back to glory.

Lovely scribbles. I dry mine and display them in vases and bowls in various rooms. A lasting reminder of the garden all year round.

I love hydrangeas especially a single specimen bloom on a vase. They are beautiful.

What a lovely surprise for your homecoming.
When we go on holiday the first thing I do is inspect the garden on our return and it's always amazing to see how much things have grown.
They do look very healthy!!?

Oh Scribbles what a beautiful display and I love the colours.
My hydrangeas this year are glorious. One is deep rose pink and the other much paler.
I managed to prune them in spring and they have rewarded us with a magnificent show.
I have a photo but not sure how to put photos on here.

In the spring, I was worried that I'd allowed my hydrangeas to become too parched in last year's long, dry summer. When I dead-headed them in March, they seemed very sad and were slow to form new flower buds - and the ones that did form were very small and scrawny.

I fed them some general fertiliser and hoped I hadn't actually killed them and fretted a bit because I really love them. I need not have worried. Two days ago, I returned from holiday to a fabulous display which I just had to share.smile
