I love Hydrangea ~


Here in the Northeast, we can have long winters.  Some, so stark that for nearly ten months out of a year, we have very little greenery.  Only when spring arrives, do buds begin and then we bloom again.

And boy, do we bloom!  Summer is such a gorgeous time of the year, with the green trees and all the flowers glowing with beauty.

And my favorite?  Hydrangea.  Especially the mopheads.  I think it's because they are so huge and expansive.

Here on my walk today, I find myself engulfed in some real beauties.


These are purple ones, kind of rare here I think.  Some are very deep purple too.




They were quiet stunning ~

 
 
 
I have a friend who has this large blue mophead in her yard.  It's lovely too.

 
 
 
 
 
And this pink one, so gorgeous.  Sometimes, there are no words.....

  1. Like you Mary, I do love hydrangeas and have also been taking photos for a Hydrangea post soon. Our heat and humidity has been so intense lately plus so much rain I have hardly been able to get out in the early morning to cut them which is the best time to be cutting. I usually have a vase or two around the house to brighten my day. Enjoyed your photos.

  2. Mary,

    Hydrangeas are a favorite of mine too. I have some waiting for the right time to cut and dry. I like a dried bouquet to enjoy all year long.
