A quick post at the end of Thursday to join Mary-Lou in her Take Three Thursday meme. I commented to Maggie the other day that the flowers in my cutting garden are nearing the end of their bloom. Not so the beautiful hydrangeas Matt planted in our front yard last year. In the first photo, you see just half the landscaping of the front yard, and three of the six hydrangeas bushes.
The hydrangeas in the back of the house haven't done as well this year. I usually cut some of those blooms to put in a vase in the house. I can't quite bring myself to cut any of these. Last fall, the flowers on these bushes turned a beautiful burgundy color and I let them dry in a vase. They were lovely all winter long.
