Oh my goodness! I am a Hydrangja lover. I didn't know they came in so many varieties. Beautiful. Now I have a good reason to go go visit Cape Cod.

My Mother worked magic with hydrangeas here in the southeastern USA. With good care it seems they can thrive in lots of locations.

@karenrich9092 Год назад

My grandparents had hydrangeas in their backyard in the shade of a large oak tree. When I was little I thought they were popcorn balls. Then, I saw them on our trip to Washington State and they were so beautiful. These types of videos are great!

My Mother grew hydrangeas & could lead them into blooming different colors during different times during the season by using fertilizers...it was like magic. Her bushes were huge & lush & she won the hydrangea game within her group of friends...all of them could work miracles with their own individual pet flowers. They had fun enjoying gardening as a hobby for many years, before & after retirement age, most of them were happy homemakers making the very best of their time in so many fun & worthy ways. This video post is wonderful featuring a plant which brought happiness to my Mother...thank you to everyone for offering it to the world.

My mom gave me a beautiful blue hydrangea for my birthday one year. She passed away shortly after. I was depressed that I could barely put one foot in front of the other. The hydrangea, as well as all my plants were just put in a dark corner of my deck. I didn't even bother to water anything. About a year later, I decided to clean off the deck. As I was getting ready to throw out the hydrangea, I saw a tiny blue flower in bloom! Miraculous and I'll never forget it!

My favorite flower. They grow so beautiful on the East Coast.

I remember one of the prettiest sites I ever saw was in Kokatahi, Westland, Aotearoa - New Zealand. Along the edge of a small, gently flowing stream, an entire edge of about 70 metres was covered in a mass of beautiful blue hydrangeas. Every five bushes or so, there was a white or a almost cerise variety. Directly behind this border were New Zealand native ferns and trees. The entire thing looked like you'd expect fairies to be hiding amongst them on misty days. My love for hydrangea started that day in 1986.

Sao Miguel, one of the nine Portuguese Islands of the Azorean archipelago, is the home of one of the world's largest displays of naturally grown hydrangeas. They bloom everywhere on the island, from mid-July into August, and provide the eye with one of the most spectacular sights of magic, beauty and joy I have ever seen. I am certain that the early Azorean immigrants to Cape Cod, longing for the ephemeral beauty of their island paradise, are responsible for turning the Cape and Islands into the glorious summer dream we are privileged to see today.

I love these because they make for easy beautiful gardening. Even when not in bloom the leaves are beautiful and block the light from the soil under them rendering weeding virtually unnecessary.

I've been trying to grow beautiful hydrangeas for 10 years. They always wilt on me. This season I finally figured out that they need some shade. I've just been so busy with work. Maybe when I retire in another 10-15 years, I'll finally get it right!

When I lived in California they were abundant, but in Arizona they are few and far between. I never realized the PH of the soil had anything to do with the colors. 😊

I love hydrangeas. My grandmother had one huge beautiful one that was by her kitchen window at the corner of her porch. It was both blue and purple. My sons and husband have given me several varieties and colors and I will have more because there are so many more species and forms to get! They just bring me so much joy.

@seriouslyreally5413 Год назад

My only wish before I got too old was to successfully grow a magnificent hydrangea bush under my husband's office window where he could pause from his work at his desk and rest his eyes upon such a beautiful sight. Each year I planted one, it grew with so much promise until I would go on vacation and leave it to the care of a friend or neighbor to oversee watering until I got back in a week. Each time I came back to withered stems as the (paid) waterer remembered to water everything but the hydrangea on the front side of the house under Michael's window. One winter a heavy Polar Vortex descended on us and froze my precious under -26F cold. We finally installed a automatic sprinkler system but the temperature shot up to 105F which burnt the foliage to a crisp when we returned home. 5 years ago, I stayed home. It was the year I finally had my wish! The magnificent shrub grew to enormous dimensions and bloomed its heart out from Spring to Fall and I was fulfilled.
