confused hydrangeas
My Endless Summer hydrangeas are a bit confused this year. This particular variety is supposed to be colored pink or blue depending on the acidity of your soil. For some reason, I’ve got pink and blue on the same plant! I’m not sure what’s going on with that. Last year they were all blue except one plant on the end which was leaning towards lavender. This year they’re all mixed up. Which is fine with me, they’re pretty that way.
I grabbed the camera and snapped some photos while the light was good. These haven’t been color manipulated, but I did do a slight exposure adjustment in Photoshop. Feel free to grab them and use them for your own personal use.
I also noticed this mystery bug. I don’t know what kind he is, but he let me take his picture. Daddy Longlegs was too shy, he ran off before I could snap his pic.

These are absolutely STUNNING! Hydrangeas are among my favorite flowers. When we lived in Memphis, TN, they grew in everyones garden. Back home here in WI, it’s rare that you see them, as they don’t over-winter.

I’m in Minnesota, and mine seem to have wintered fine, I cut them way back last fall and covered them with those giant styrofoam cups.
