Hydrangeas in the Garden

I love them, don't you? Beautiful Hydrangeas ~ great bushes of them tucked around the garden in mixed borders, in front of fences and porch railings, on a corner of the cottage sheltered from hot afternoon sun and chilling Winter winds. They love to drink, show you when thirsty by drooping sadly and making you run for the old galvanized watering can. But in the evening as the sun sinks into the West and a slight coolness is felt in the air, they perk back up in all their glory, straight stemmed, their lovely leaves firm, their magnificent blooms fresh looking as in the early morning.


A bunch of Hydrangeas picked today for the table on the front porch.
