Not just a bunch of little flowers…
Hydrangeas used to be in that class of flowers grown in grandmother’s gardens – not any more! With a head over a foot in diameter, this variety is the perfect candidate for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: A Single Flower. More than four species of this bushy plant and enough shades to rival a watercolourist’s palette give gardeners a wide range to choose from. They can be temperamental, the colour deepening or fading with the ph balance of the soil they are in. Having a less than green thumb, I buy them, plant them and hope that they will reappear the next year…

We really moved into our new house and there is a massive hydrangea plant in the front garden. The flowers are beautiful…we get pink and blue blossoms! :-)

You are lucky – is it an old one? I would love to get a mauve one next!

I don’t know much about plants, but it seems to be very well established. It is nearly as big as me!

I had a hydrangea bush when I was up north. I don’t think the grow in Florida. Perhaps, they do. I grow orchids as a hobby and that was my submission for Cee’s challenge. Hope you’ll take a look at some of my blossoms. Thanks …
Great photo’s.
