HYDRANGEAS

what a fantastic show, absolutely beautiful, the colours are fabulous.

Fantastic.

Thanks yorkshire..... Mad

gorgeous-- I love the mopheads are they reacting to the soil Holly? and giving thoes colours

i dont know pamg..... they have been there for years.... if it was the soil.. then they should all be different colours i would have thought... the ones on the left are all pink.....

they look beautifull holly,, lots of blooms ;o))

Wow.. lovely ! :o)

They're gorgeous Holly and one of Carol's favourites!

Lovely, does she feed them? I never have any luck with them so I'm jealous.

Fantastic show. Hydrangeas must be one of the best shrubs and yet lots of people take it for granted.

What an impressive entrance, nice colours too. I know someone who had a big blue one which was under the drain spout. She had the old iron one replaced with plastic and the blue flowers turned pink.

Man alive they are beautiful

They are wonderful. I love the different coloured ones. Your mother must enjoy them all summer.

your mum's hydranga's are brill.mine are usually the same but i haven't had a flower on it this year.don't know what's happened.

Mine are very late too potty so I would not worry.

How beautiful, Holly! My new ones I planted last year are tiddlers in comparison, and only one has any buds. I'll just have to be patient, won't I!

Absolutely lovely Holly!

What a stunning display, Holly, very eye catching.

Thanks everyone.... glad you like the pics....
mum doesnt feed them... they just get cut down every spring... shes had these for years.....

Blooming luverly.

Thanks Lincslass..... Khayla

Beautiful! I am trying to make one of my hydrangea bushes turn blue...I shoved a bunch of rusty things into the soil around it...someone once told me that made them turn blue...we shall see =)

thanks Floralhead..... let us know if it works..... : O))

I will!!

: O ))

Beautiful pictures, I love these flowers I ordered a white one from jparker and it hasent grown in fact its dead!!!. I am pursuing a refund or a replacement. These plants remind me of my childhood as its the only flower I can remember having in my old garden. I think there lovely. Your mum has good taste Holly!!

sorry about yours great....hope you are able to get another one.... we had them in the garden as children as well......

Your photos are lovely Holly. I cant stop looking at them

Absolutely stunning Holly!

Glad you like them Great.....
Thanks Floribunda..

Fantastic display!

THanks Keasty

These are looking so healthy and provide a beautiful display of colour...what a welcome at the front door :)

I love them too (childhood memories!) and I am going to find out if I could begin with just a small one in a large pot and see how it fares. I've heard too about putting rusty nails, cans etc. in the soil....does it work? Although, I'm rather partial to the vibrant pink blooms...not so common as the blue/mixed.

thanks Whistonlass..... i have one in a pot that a friend gave me she did not want it... it seems to be doing ok... i think i will have to try some rusty or metal things in the pot to see if i can get some blue flowers on it....

I bought a lacecap this time last year in Wyevale, they should have been 9.99 and was £1, I repotted it and its flowered lovely this year and I noticed that they have plants and seed quite cheap at the moment-- clearing out for 'you-know-what-' in december!

Oooh....good plan Pam. I've got a Wyevale nearby....must take a gander. Ta for the thumbs up Holly & Pam. Of course if I'm successful at finding a bargain hydrangea (or maybe something else if it's going cheap...lol) I'll need a big plant pot for it as well!

Maybe I could suggest this as my birthday pressie....only a couple of weeks away...hehe I feel a plot developing (garden and otherwise!).

that was a great bargain pamg....
