I can't grow them in my tiny full sun yard, but my friends all have volumes of hydrangeas around their homes. Where I just sit and swoon. I walk the dog past a particular house every evening simply so that I can have a glance at the most brilliant bush of fuchsia pink hydrangeas! They just mesmerize me.
So last night I ran up to a friend's house for a quick little visit, complimented her flowers and then she insisted I cut an armful to take home. Well if you insist!
So this...
Became this....
I should have taken a quick pic of them on my dresser because they look even prettier. Aren't they stunning?!

I just cut a ton of hydrangeas from our bushes last night. Some for a girl at work and some for our kitchen table. We have white, pink, lavendar and a true blue that all grow in our garden. They're gorgeous flowers!!
I love hydrangeas, too, but I just don't have much luck growing them. I think I have my bushes planted in too sunny of a location, although it seems fairly shady to me.
I love them too.
They remind me of the movie "It's a Wonderful Life". Do you know why? If you've seen the movie try and guess, if not, you'll never know.
I love them too. I planted 5 new bushes this year. I never understand when people don;t cut and bring into there home. Check out hydrangea cupcakes:

my bf went to a wedding where they had hydrangeas in mason jars as the centerpieces on the tables. it was so beautiful- he brought me home some of the flowers :-)
So pretty! The science nerd in me also loves that they are different colors based off of the ph of the soil they are in.
I love hydrangeas. They are one of my favorite flowers.
We are fortunate enough to have them in front of the house, the blue and the pink. It's amazing I haven't killed them after all these years!
Yours look just beautiful Miss PPC, very pretty indeed. :)

I love these flowers! Beautiful!
These are my favorite flowers as well! My mom has a hyndragea bush at my parents house that her grandmother gave her a long time ago and she has made sure to keep it living all these years by making my dad put a sheet on it when it gets cold, haha. So they are very sentimental in our family :-)
I love hydrangeas! I plan to have tons of them everywhere at my wedding!
xoxo.
Gorgeous! My neighbors have a big bush on the side of their house and I get to snip some for myself :-)
