My Lady in Red definitely has pink blooms. I found that it's grown considerably in a short amount of time as well. In fact, I'm going to have to move it or the camellia that's near it very soon.Dig, Grow, Compost, Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111150807638669133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-78416352870458000562010-06-11T12:45:31.246-07:002010-06-11T12:45:31.246-07:00This one is a winner for us as well, Phillip.

It has grown so large very quickly and is covered in blue flowers. The foliage is fabulous. We cannot get a photo of how blue the flowers really are. You have done an admirable job of that.

It should be a beauty with the fall colors changing its leaves to deep red. The blooms on your does have a touch of red on the edges of the petals. It is a pretty one.Lonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060003333138052194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-20533744484127250242010-06-10T11:48:44.330-07:002010-06-10T11:48:44.330-07:00La dame en rouge danse avec moi.

So thanks for bringing that scorched memory back to my brain. <br /><br />Lovely hydrangea though. You've got some nice ones. I have a simple variegated one from cuttings and a Forever and Ever. Last year I rooted 10 cuttings from a very old hydrangea with the deepest purple blooms I've ever seen. I doubt my soil will give me that color, and I'll have to wait until next year to see it bloom. I love the red stems on this one.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2012891747188380656.post-70334204696229452812010-06-10T10:54:06.895-07:002010-06-10T10:54:06.895-07:00My neighbor has this one.

I've mired the variegated foliage but this is a first for redish tinted leaves. <br /><br />I will definitely check this one out. It may actually do well enough in my area with some protection. Especially if it is a strong grower and able to recover quickly from winter damage.<br />MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.com
