one of the most gorgeous things to me, hydrangeas in pale pinks and the deep blues! was online mid morning looking at pics and possible sources for some for my zone in south Florida 10b….very hot, very humid. I need some flowers! these are stunning, I smile too.

Enchanting Hydrangeas…We have a very delicate creamy climbing Hydrangea with oak leaves it's planted in the shade, and we are trying not to kill the mauve and the red coloured ones. Hi Sharon thank you for sharing. Regards Esther from Sydney. PS our sun tends to scorch delicate plants within an inch of their lives.

Sharon, these are gorgeous! I love pink, and that's such a pretty shade of pink. Aren't hydrangeas some of the most wonderful shrubs in the world? I have loved them for years; they're beautiful in all the stages of their bloom cycle. So pretty with the colorful blooms during peak season, then lovely as they start to fade to softer colors, and wonderful as dried flowers, too. So glad you shared these pics with us!

Have a wonderful day!

Denise
