Hydrangeas

I re-planted my ancient cement pots this morning with 'Mathilda Gutges,' a small-ish hydrangea from the 1940's that promises cobalt flowers (with enough acid) and deep green leaves. Happily, the mopheads are not yet wilting in the mid-afternoon sun. Feels like summer already.

  1. Oh, pour me a tall glass of tea or what ever cool beverage you have and I will be right over. Looks like a comfy spot to catch some sun and soak up the rays -

  4. Cel - There's a real nursery shortage here in Charlotte, but the new South End/Dilworth Lowe's has a fantastic gardening center... all of my hydrangeas, veggies & herbs are from their shelves.
