It's the craziest thing! Last year my hydrangea plant did not bloom at all. I don't know what in the world I must have done, but it just grew green leaves or stalks or branches or whatever you call them...but no blooms. I wondered if it would ever bloom again.
I had the best intentions to go by the local nursery to ask them about my sick hydrangea. Of course, I just never got around to doing that. Thought about calling...never did that either.
So...this spring when the leaves started to sprout, I waited in wonder and then one day I saw this. I got so excited....but I couldn't be sure.
Until a few weeks later when I saw this. Then I was sure.
And now, we have this! Isn't it fabulous!
The blooms are a little heavy so they fall to the ground in front.
Without a year of no blooms at all...I would not be nearly as excited!And the best part is that I have already cut at least 20 blooms off of this beauty to pass on to teachers, neighbors and friends. I also added a few gardenia blossoms to give them a super sweet smell!
Absolutely loving this shade of blue!
Have a wonderful weekend!

ReplyDeleteI love hydrangeas. They are so beautiful. They remind me of the movie "It's A Wonderful Life" as well. You know when she runs in to the hydrangea bush because her robe fell off?
ReplyDeletei have total hydrangea envy! simply gorgeous! glad you are sharing with others. sad we aren't next door neighbors!
ReplyDeleteWow!! Those are beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful! What a coincidence, I just asked my sister-in-law, who is a landscape designer, why my hydrangea isn't blooming yet. I just planted it last year and it's growing a lot, just no buds or blossoms. I hope mine will look as beautiful as yours :)
ReplyDeleteWhat I would give for flowers like that in my yard.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah. I have the gardenias.
I guess I shouldn't complain. I am in AZ.
I've always wanted a hydrangea...but have never gotten one! Yours are beautiful...love the blue!
ReplyDeleteHave a FUN weekend!

ReplyDeleteThose are incredible! I love them planted with the red and put in a vase with the white. BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend!
Absolutely beautiful! As a teacher, I have to say, that I would not mind a teeny tiny bit if a student brought those to me!Love them!
ReplyDeleteI think periwinkle blue is probably one of my most favourite colors. We can't grow them here, so i'll just have to enjoy your pictures instead.

Gorgeous!!! I love them!
ReplyDeleteThose are just a beautiful. Love that color blue.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!!! i have been a bit hydrangea obsessed here too...i have planted a few in the past, the ones at Easter time, but they never flower...i think because the winters are too harsh here in the NorthEast. But this year our local greenhouse is carrying a hardier kind..so we have been ripping out the old hedges and planting hydrangeas like crazy...now i just hope they survive the first winter!!! your look amazing!!! and now you have me wondering if i can grow a gardenia here..
ReplyDeleteThe exact same thing happened to me a few years back. It just never bloomed..when it always had in the past. Then the next year, Bam! It bloomed as normal. This year one of my hydrangeas has the CRAZIEST deep purple/blue blooms you've ever seen. I'll have to take a picture. I've never seen them this color before.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas. Love.
