The Soft Colours of Summer

I love hydrangeas, and although we can grow the Limelight and Annabelle varieties fairly easily here in Manitoba, it is only recently that with some luck, we can overwinter Endless Summer. Endless Summer blooms in pink in our lime soil, unless we feed it with copper sulphate to bring out the blue. Last week, after a rainstorm, I noticed how soft and pretty the colours were. I am joining in with Monday Mosaics at Mary's. What lovely contributions we find over there every week, and thanks, Mary!

I fell in love with hydrangeas years ago when we rescued a clump from ruin at the edge of government land. That Annabelle gave us such pleasure and it was divided over and over again for friends. I'm just rediscovering the joys of hydrangea now that we are fenced against the plant-devouring deer!

O, Millie, your flowers are so pretty. These are my favorite and we can't grow them very well out here on the plains of West Texas. Too hot, windy, dry....PLUS I have this big, huge BROWN THUMB that keeps getting in the way of me raising pretty flowers..!! :)
Thanks for visiting and I am signing up to follow. Come back to see me when you can...

Your garden is looking so lush and beautiful! I especially love your hydrangeas. Did I tell you that I planted two of them this summer. I am really hoping that they winter well.
