So is anyone getting tired of hydrangeas? If you are, just skip this post. Here we go with several more varieties without a lot of commentary. Hopefully the photos will speak for themselves!
 |
| This is the new "pink Annabelle" called "Invinsibelle Spirit". I'm not
crazy about the name but the thought of an Annabelle with color excites
me. I didn't expect to see it in nurseries this year but lo and behold,
they had it at Porter's Nursery in Muscle Shoals ($30 in a 3 gallon pot,
ouch)! |
 |
| And speaking of Annabelle, the original. |
 |
| "Ayesha", one of the most unique hydrangeas I've ever seen. It has
really taken off this year (its third year in the garden) and is loaded
with blooms. It has been a shy bloomer in the past. |
 |
| "Charm" sports huge blooms. |
 |
"Merritt's Supreme", a tried and true variety and heavy bloomer. The
blooms were so heavy that they were flopping to the ground. I have
attempted to stake them.
|
 |
"Penny Mac", named after hydrangea doyenne Penny McHenry of Atlanta, Ga., it was discovered in her garden.
|
 |
"Tokyo Delight", an elegant lace-cap.
