  1. This has been a perfect spring for hydrangeas. Yours look beautiful. That blue just shines in the shade. I can't wait to see how long the blooms last too. I hope Mother Nature cooperates and doesn't send a drought.

  3. Not only are your hydrangeas beautiful, so is your garden. Love the dry stream bed.

  4. I don't often visit here and, by chance, I think the first time I came across your blog, you were talking about hydrangeas.

    I'm not a hydrangea fan but these look lovely. Shows how important context is.

  5. Everyone this year has been exclaiming how great the hydrangeas are which makes me wish I had added more sooner to the garden. I've been afraid of deer and rabbits in the best hydrangea areas. Your garden and the hydrangeas look great!

  6. Good morning, Phillip. Your hydrangeas look lovely in the woodland setting. Those huge white blooms really make a statement.
