Blue Hydrangea


Hydrangeas in blue or pink or white are a common (and welcome) sight in early summer.

  4. They are lovely Jack, you're so lucky to be able to grow them, I think it might just be too hot for them here, blue flowers are just gorgeous.

  7. I love hydrangeas. The acidity of the soil determines their color. These are really lovely!

  9. My favourites. They come in huge bushes blue and purple in Brittany (the westernmost part of France). And they make wonderful dried bouquets.

  10. I love these gorgeous flowers. When I travel in England I see so many of them. I sure wish we could grow them here.
    I saw your comment about the Chihuly Exhibit in Boston. I'm so jealous! I actually tried to find a way to get there just for a quick weekend but, with other trips I have planned just can't squeeze it in. I did see the photos on the museum website. It looks like a great show.

  14. I wish the blue variety were hardy enough for my gardens! I guess I should be happy that I can grow a few white varieties. :)

  15. I agree with everyone, these are a favorite, they are great dried and color is determined by the soil.

  16. Hi Jack! I'm new to your blog tho' we've both commented on Clueless. Thanks for the hydrangeas! I miss mine so much, as I am now apartment living and had to say goodbye to my beautiful garden.
