These hydrangea were sitting on the sidewalk outside a store.

I love this type of Hydrangea, I didn’t have on before I bought two of them for 3 dollars each!

waiting for the north wind to end
in Alabama we have spring & then it switches to a killing cold. sitting at the window are mums, Hydrangea & David’s lemon tree. his tree has 6 lemons already. they are as green as a lime & are as small as peanuts or smaller. they continue to blossom, amazing me daily. they look like children waiting for a time when they can run.

a thorn dressing as a flower
That thorn is longer then an inch. Mean looking thing. I wonder why it needs that much protection? What is it hiding? Maybe, like the hydrangea, it tastes delicious so as a result it grew that weapon. Maybe I should dig it up & plant it beside the blueberries.

Amazing color on this Hydrangea
When these wild & not so wild, I mean people buy these & plant them. Ugh, I’m drifting. This Hydrangea when they flower in late sprint, they are a creamy or bright white, but when the blossom begins to die, they begin to have color, usually a light pink. I’ve never seen one so vibrant, but it was against Elizabeth’s antique’s house wall, I think it was trying to out do the color of the house!

I finally figured out how to dry out my Hydrangea!!!!!
Two full vases! My mother in law has 2 or 3 bushes & the blossoms were slowly dying. So I went into those bushes & cut anything I wanted. I put them into empty vases, no water, and placed them on the floor in my studio in front of a window (morning light) & next to a a/c vent & they were dry in four days. They will stay colorful for a couple of years!

Instead of being shaped as a ball, this Hydrangea gave up its middle just
to have a few fancy stars as blossoms. To me the flower looked like an old woman with way too much make up on & you are embarrassed for her. Someone took a beautiful plant & blossom & changed it, like a dermatologist injected too much botox, believing his taste is better then Gods. I know I have genetically altered plants, they probably all are. I guess I’m offended by this one because Hydrangea is my favorite.
