This is a Macro (close up) photo of a pink Hydrangea in bloom.
I took this photo earlier this year at the beginning of August when my Hydrangea was blooming happily. The plant is still blooming but it’s flowers are fading and believe it or not they’ve turned a pale green! Isn’t that odd?
Perhaps if it warms up over the next two weeks as the weather people have said I’ll still have some new blooms to end the year with!
Do you grow Hydrangea? If so, what kind?
Isn’t this pink Clematis flower lovely? I grow several different Clematis vines, but this one is one of the largest vines! It’s located at the front of my house – well front corner, and it grows on a trellis. It’s perhaps 14 feet in height and two weeks ago when it was covered in pink blooms it was an amazing sight.
The flowers are pretty much gone now, especially after the heavy rains we’ve had this weekend, so I’m happy that I captured this beauty when I did.
Do you grow Clematis vines too?
Who wouldn’t be happy seeing lovely pink striped hyacinths blooming in their garden? Especially once you got a whiff of their lovely scent!
Several years ago I planted at least 100 hyacinth bulbs in colors of blue, white, pink and coral. I still have lots of hyacinths blooming in my garden each spring, but unlike some tulips these bulbs don’t seem to multiply … they eventually die off … so I don’t have nearly as many hyacinths as I used to. I have to remember to get more this fall … Hyacinths are too pretty to NOT have in the garden and if I don’t replace them soon it won’t be long before I don’t have these lovelies in my garden.
This is my first year with Hydrangea in the garden. Earlier this year when the plant started to bloom each cluster of flowers was half blue and half pink. It was like the plant couldn’t decide which color it should be. I’ve since heard that newly planted Hydrangeas will often be bi-colored in their first year or so. Of course the PH of the soil can also help to determine whether you’ll have blue or pink flowers if you have a hydrangea that can be either color.
By late summer my Hydrangea’s had decided that they were pink hydrangeas and now that Autumn has arrived the petals have turned a deep rose pink. Lovely! Yes I know the petals are starting to fade as the plant dies down for winter, but I just wanted to show you their gorgeous fall color.
Do you grow Hydrangeas? If so, what kind do you grow?
