Hydrangea

I love hydrangeas, or more spcifically, I love the blue color of hydrangeas.

But we are in early summer here in upstate New York, and my hydrangeas are still mostly white, but the blue is just starting to show in these first of the season blossoms.

There are hydrangeas that stay white, and some that are pink, but the French blue is what I like.

  1. I share your preference, John. Since my first visit to France. But the blue is hard to maintain, only careful application of special fertilizer seems to help - that special acidity of the soil the blue variants need is fragile.

    And (this) fragility is what I see in the subtle colors of your image.
