Mysterious bursts of light...

Eleven years ago, when I planted this, I knew what type of hydrangea it was. Now, it is just the huge bush that is trying to annex the azaleas turf. It has the coolest flower display though. Looks a little like fireworks to me. Ok, squint a little and don’t be so skeptical. See, you see fireworks too, right?  Fine, just humor me. July 13th

Secret garden...

Back behind my garage, regrettably hidden from view, is the most beautiful hydrangea plant. I would transplant it but I fear that it would hate its new location and wither. Right now, all on its own, it flourishes; unattended and uncared for, it puts on this flashy display of pink and purple and blue splendor. I didn’t even know that one plant could produce both pink and blue flowers. How is that possible? It is a lovely surprise each summer, right around the corner in my backyard. July 9th

Sweet reminder...

A few years ago, one of my families said thank you for their portraits with a beautiful hydrangea plant. It was such a lovely and unexpected surprise. I planted it and have been lovingly caring for it as I watched it grow. This year it bloomed! It is such a pretty reminder of such a charming family. July 3rd
