The hydrangeas are really coming out to bloom in all their gorgeous beauty!

A variegated red, white and pink one …

… and another one on the same plant, a variegated pink and white bloom.

Here they are next to each other …

… and here’s the gorgeous plant, bursting with summer vibrancy!

Happy hydrangea Friday.

    1. Hi Ally, yes, definitely show that bush what’s what! Although to be fair, this plant is in one of the city’s parks and they employ an army of gardeners, undergardeners and park maintenance people (there are many, many city parks and also a major horticulture program situated here as well so lots of students needing practica placements), so it’s well looked after.

      My mother always said that adding coffee grounds to the soil around hydrangeas was very important (and also kept a number of plant-chewing bugs and slugs away, too, apparently), so you could try that. My mom had a huge green thumb and her remedies always seemed to work. Cheers.

  15. My favourite!! Isn’t it wonderful how they come in such different colours and varieties?! We have a couple of incrediball hydrangeas outside our front house that are not quite in bloom yet. Soon though.

    1. Hydrangeas are amazing. From the panicle to the incrediball, all those colour variations and then how the various types can be spread out to bloom almost constantly throughout the summer and late into autumn. They’re so wonderful.
