I'm In Love With My Hydrangeas
I just LOVE this time of year on the coast when my HYDRANGEAS start blooming! I have two large bushes and one small one in my backyard...I wish I had more...maybe one day I will. Yesterday I cut a few blooms...got out some vases and jars and here is the outcome!

Those are beautiful. I love hydrangeas, they remind me of East TX at the lake.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Would love to have some hydrangeas in my yard. Are they easy to care for?

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Flowers! Nothing is better than spring and flowers in bloom.
ReplyDeleteYour hydrangeas are gorgeous. Of all the colors, the blue ones are my favorite!

I LOVE hydrangeas too. Mine are just about to bloom. They are the best..they keep so long in a vase and the plant keeps on producing all summer.
ReplyDeleteYour look great!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

So full! They are beautiful. I have one tiny pink one because my Pink Hydrangea is so new.(Pout) I love your blog I will be back to visit.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love them too, and your blue ones are gorgeous! I just planted a pink one and may try to turn it blue next year. The directions are on the tag. I always enjoy your posts and your comments!
ReplyDeleteSherry
So beautiful - I'm green with envy :).
ReplyDeleteLove that color! My daughter bought me a wonderful one just that same color last year , bad thing ... it didnt winter well ! I was sad , as they are soooo pretty !
ReplyDeleteEunice

Beautiful! I have featured mine in my last two posts. They are gorgeous this time of year aren't they! Love the tallest vase you have, looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your blue hydrangeas....mine are actually Nikko Blue but my soil is wrong for them to bloom blue. They are still a really pretty pinkish/purplish color. If you go on my favorites on my sidebar Manuela at The Pleasures of Homemaking tells in a link in her post about hydrangeas (and hers are beautiful blue too) how to propogate them. She has beautiful ones and has propogated all of hers after buying the first one. I am trying it on mine right now!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous!!! I've always wished that I could grow a huge busy of them=0)

I wish I could grow them here. They always remind me of my Grandmother! She had some beautiful bushes in front of her home.
ReplyDeleteI love hydrangeas too and your blue ones are beautiful! I don't have any hydrangeas in my yard but my parents do. I guess I need to go pay them a visit and see if the flowers are in bloom yet.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend.

I was just looking at our's today and they have tiny buds starting!! Thanks for sharing your photo's with us. They are the most beautiful color blue! I just love them fresh or dried!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with them, too! Lezlee

Yours are certainly beautiful!
They are so gorgeous. This is the first year I've planted them, and I don't know why I didn't sooner. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. Do you ever try to change their color?

Hi! I'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteI love blue hydragenas - I cannot wait for the bush in our backyard to bloom.
Hopefully, you can stop by my blog too!

I too love hydrangeas. That blue is totally gorgeous! Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteMy hydrangeas are in bloom too! Aren't they fab? I have them sitting around all over the house too. Nothing like the freshness of the blue color and to think it's free right from our yards. God is good!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty color! Love them, mine have died in the backyard, tyring hard to bring them back to life! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteXO

I definitely love the blue. Just too bad there's not some orange in there too. :) War Eagle!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't get my hydrangea to bloom. It has never had any flowers on it all! Stopping by from New Friend Friday. I'm a new follower. Hope you stop by! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteHydrangia's are one of my favorite flowers and yet I have never tried to raise them. For some reason I always feel I don't have the experience and would lose them..no idea why I feel that way..but..perhaps this year...perhaps...
ReplyDeleteSee the comment above...by Julie??? Well, that is what stops me. Do you feed them something special?? I must read up...and maybe that is why I put it off...but...I REALLY do want some in my yard!
Have a safe weekend!
Mona
What beautiful shades of blue...elegant, but simple, too. These add such a wonderful pop of color! Have a great Memorial Day Weekend! Debbie
ReplyDeleteThe followers are so lovely. Have a great weekend, Linda.
ReplyDeleteLove 'em...
ReplyDeleteI have got some that I need to go cut for vases! Following from Friday Follow!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!!! Ours aren't blooming yet. I do have one mature hydrangea and about 10 purchased this year and last year so someday I will have many of these beauties, of several varieties. Hydrangeas are a fabulous flower and yours is so pretty. Glad you shared it today!
ReplyDeleteI am seriously jealous!!! I wish I could grow huge blooms as pretty as this!!!
ReplyDeleteI am just so happy that my hydrangeas have survived the winter!
thanks for linking in this week! see you again soon I hope!
Oh, I love hydrangeas--these are spectacular!!
ReplyDeleteHUGS,

Lovely and refreshing.
ReplyDeleteWoo Hoo! Beautiful Hydrangeas. Love the color. Thanks for linking this post and sharing at Woo Hoo! Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite flower. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!! I can't wait for my hydrangeas to bloom.
ReplyDeleteI am also in love with your hydrangeas, not to mention, extremely jealous. I've tried and tried to find a nice place in my yard for them, but they hate the Texas heat and start looking ragged about a week after they bloom :( Thanks so much for visiting my blog and commenting on the master bath. I look forward to your posts, as a new follower.
