Blue Hydrangea


I am so pleased with the growth of this Hydrangea and one of these days I'll find the little slip that gives it's true name...it was a hard plant to find , but I found one and when I did I jumped right on it ;o)...going back means you lost! A close up will show four to five white flowers surrounding a cluster of blue buds, which makes it just a beautiful bush to look at...
The next view is one of the newly planted Hydrangea that doesn't grow as large as as the blue one, but it also has a pretty flower (I'll show it when it's full)...that's why I chose that spot for it...I have other "blue babies" growing and I already have a couple of spots chosen for them..how wonderful to fill the yard with sucklings (for lack of knowing terminology) of favorite plants and watch them grow...
UPDATE: This Hydrangea is from the spieces "Lace Cap Hydrangeas" The name of this one is "Hybrid Blue Bird"..I wasn't too far off calling it Blue Hydrangea..how blessed I am to have it....

  3. I expanded the picture so I could get a closer look at those amazing flowers. It seems like two very different blossoms all on one bush - how beautiful! I've never seen one like it "in person" (or "in bush" :>}
