Lacecap Hydrangea Petrolaris

I have a couple of these and at long last, after 10 years, they've started to cover the walls and look pretty good, first year I've actually had to prune bits off!!!, I love them great plant :-)
Yours looks good Alan :-)

Thanks Simbad, you were quick of the mark, only took you milli-seconds to respond.... lol

looks great and i see new leaf growth to :-)
i really like this because of the lush looking leaves :-)
healthy looking plant.
thx alanb.

Love this... used to have it in my old house...

Thanks Jane and Holly, it's grown far too big now and has to pruned hard each year. It has started to take light from the front lounge window. I do like it though and it hides the brickwork.

I like this plant as well but unfortunately so does the deer. I inherited one growing on a low retaining wall and do not have to be worried about it getting too large its munched on all the time. I took a cutting and planted it close to house. So far they have not found that one :-)

Klahanie, have you ever managed to photograph deer in your garden. If so, I for one would certainly love to see them. I am sure you probably consider them to be pests, bit like the grey squirrel over here. A squirrel has recently eaten all Wendy's figs, off her potted tree.

Thanks for your interest Alan. My Hubby is in the war with a grey squirrel as well. Unfortunately the squirrel is winning .

Few pictures of deer on the GOY from last year . They are beautiful animals but so many. They do not have any natural predator around here..

Thank you so much for taking the time to list these. I will take a look when I am next on my PC. Using my IPad at the moment.
