Macro Monday

Close up of white hydrangea flower.

Every autumn these hydrangeas are cut down to only 6 inch stems. In the spring they start back and by mid summer they give a wonderful display.

    I love hydrangeas! We have them here in Savannah in white, the traditional blue, light purple, and medium pink.

    Oh pretty! We used to have blue ones. I’ll have to try trimming them if we get more next year.

      I also have pink ones but they bloom on the previous years growth so some you cut back and others you don’t. Maybe the blue are like the pink ones?

    They’re gorgeous! My dad has some in his garden. I used to love watching them bloom when I was younger 🥰

      Thank you. It is very rewarding to see them grow up and develope these lovely blooms.

    Beautiful! Are they yours? They are very well cared for. I just noticed a tree of white bougainvillea on my walk home the other day. Sometimes white is more than any colour.

      Yes they are in our front garden
      White hydrangeas are a very traditional plant in the country homes.. I agree that they do stand out.
