Hooray for hydrangeas!

Last year, my poor hydrangea plant was a total dud. Two sad looking little flower heads, and that was it. I have a feeling the crazy warm weather we had in March totally messed it up and sent it into some sort of flower shock. Well, this year it’s back and better than ever! And totally a case of multiple personality disorder – it can’t decide what colour it wants to be, so it’s every colour!

The blooms aren’t 100% open yet, but I’m so excited about the gorgeous flowers that I went a little snap-happy :-) There’s pink…

And some flower heads have all the colours!

Not too many of my favourite blue blooms, but that’s OK – I’m just happy I have flowers this year! Here’s a blue bloom from a couple of years ago…
