I know that it is wrong to love one plant more than another. There should be no favouritism especially when roses, lupins, foxgloves, geraniums and all the other hard-working and admirable plants are flowering their little socks off. But alas, I am undone...I have become obsessed with my Hydrangea 'Annabelle'. Who knew that such fabulousness could come from a small pot of dead branches. I think I might dig up the whole garden and plant hydrangeas next year. It would be spectacular.
Just discovered you're back. Yippee!!
ReplyDeleteOh gosh. Now I'm embarrassed.
DeleteCan't see why it's wrong at all. Roses are my favourite.
ReplyDeleteYes I know I should love the noble rose. But my heart has been stolen by this blowsy beauty. They are so huge that they make me feel like a Real Gardener.
DeleteMy favourites change from week to week but hydrangeas aren't amongst them - although I do like your white one.
ReplyDeleteIt is IVORY. Verrrrry stylish.
DeleteThat is a very pretty version of Hydrangea, I have not seen that before.
ReplyDeleteSpeak to your Gardener. You know you want one.
DeleteOh, she is a true beauty. I might have to make one her florets in silver
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...now you've got me thinking. I might fire up my cheque book.
ReplyDeleteMy father told me a wonderful story about a wedding he attended many years ago where a distinguished but eccentric Professor arrived to give his daughter away with a gigantic hydrangea flower as his button hole.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely story! It would be a very big buttonhole indeed.
DeleteIt's not bad, for a hydrangea...
ReplyDeleteYou know you want one!
