I am looking forward to growing my own hydrangeas, now that I have my own home. My only experience has been in the yard at my rental house, where I was less than enthusiastic about gardening. However, that is where I discovered my love for the hydrangea shrub and the beautiful blue flowers it produces.
A small, blue hydrangea flower. I like this picture (above) because the edges of the petals are brownish which give the flower a look of being outlined. I don’t know why they are like that, but I thought it was unusual.

This photo was taken just before I moved out of my rental. As you can see, the shrub has lots of flowers, but they are fairly small and more of a light blue than a deep blue.

I lived at the rental house in New Hampshire for three years, so I was able to photograph these flowers in various stages of growth and color. It seemed that each year they did something different!
That is the fun part of watching a hydrangea bush bloom, especially this variety which can give you blooms that are large or small, bright or light in color. And they will change color as Fall approaches. In fact, watching what happens to theses plants in Fall is exciting, and has given me some wonderful photos of unique flower colors.
