Two blue hydrangeas hopped into my cart while I was shopping
and said, "Take me home!" haha. At $1.99 a piece on clearance, how
could I refuse? They looked thirsty, too, and you know how I love to
pamper things....people, plants, animals...haha...
So they've had some water and some sunshine...
Now to get them into the ground....maybe this weekend!
♥
Love hydrangeas. Mine started in a pot 4 years ago, and now fills a large cement pot. They bring me much pleasure. You're look so delicate in that light blue.
ReplyDeletelove the blue...I hope they thrive!
Delete$1.99!!!??
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
I would have bought ten! hahaha!
Cheers!
Linda :o)
I thought later that I should have bought them all! lol....
DeletePlant them together...more impact that way!
DeleteThere is a house out near the cottage...with a circular drive...and ALL Hydrangeas around the drive!
It is totally spectacular...I must take a picture!
yes..take a picture! What a great landscaping idea!
DeleteWill do!!
DeleteHappy planting!
I love buying plants at the end of the season
ReplyDeleteI know! I'm excited to see if they take root and grow....next spring we'll know!
DeleteWater and sun
ReplyDeleteSure full bloom they will run
Even if a little chewed
Which they might find rude
They might get a nibble
Deletethinking it's kibble
then they'll nap in it's shade
as they watch the bloom parade.
ha.
ah for 2 bucks, why not....thats a steal...and nothing a little TLC wont fix up
ReplyDeleteI thought so...I mean, it's worth a shot...they are small, but they'll grow! I hope. ha.
Deleteyes I know when the plants talk LOL happens to me!!
ReplyDeleteIs absolutely beautiful betsy!!
So I'm not the only crazy one? lol....
Deleteof course not, plants always talk me :))
Deletewell, I'm in good company, then! :)
DeletePerhaps you already know this, Betsy, but I saw this on Pinterest just yesterday. :) http://flowersgardenlove.tumblr.com/post/56631602774/how-to-root-hydrange-flowers-garden-love
ReplyDeleteI saw that, too! Thank you. These are in pots, though, so I guess I'm one step ahead of that link! ha. Still good to know...
DeleteWow! Beautiful and priced just right, eh? I cut some of the semi dry oak leaf hydrangeas out front today. I do believe Fall is around the corner!
ReplyDeleteIt really does feel like fall, doesn't it? It's downright cold outside tonight!
DeleteWhat a deal! Hydrangeas are so pretty - one of my favorites!
ReplyDeletemy favorite, too!
DeleteThe hydrangeas
ReplyDeletewere strangers no more
:)
nope...part of the family now! ha.
DeleteWill they stay blue if you plant them in your garden? Where I live they would turn pink.
ReplyDeleteYou can make pink ones turn blue by adding acid to your soil. Blue ones love acidic ground! You can do this by adding Mir-Acid (from makers of Miracle Gro), coffee grounds, or even a 2 liter bottle of cheap cola.
DeleteA beautiful bargain! I am sure they will thrive after receiving your TLC.
ReplyDeleteI think they are tired of their little pots and want to be in the ground!
DeleteI love hydrangeas...especially the blue ones!
ReplyDeleteme,too!
DeleteOne of my favorites. Great price,too.
ReplyDeleteJaG
She posed nicely, didn't she? ha. I think I got her good side. lol...
DeleteGreat color!
ReplyDeleteI know...green and blue...always agreat combination!
DeleteI love that pale blue shade...almost a blue gray. I can see why they caught your eye. I sometimes see the plants at the store and want to rescue them all. They seem so neglected.
ReplyDeleteI always think they need water. What's up with that? Can't anyone give them a drink??
DeleteSuch a delicate and pretty colour. I can see why you were drawn to this. I had a hydrangea for a while but it didn't seem to like where I planted it and it didn't survive for long. Hope you do better!
ReplyDeleteOh, too bad! I really don't know much about what makes them thrive or not. They seem to be so big and wonderful in some places and others not so much.
DeleteI really like these flowers Betsy, in general and in the photos, hydrangeas are the best!
ReplyDeleteDo you have them in Ireland, or only shamrocks? ha.
DeleteThis are breathtakingly beautiful flowers. I love them :)
ReplyDeletearen't they? It's easy to see why they are so loved!
DeleteI have two in pots and rooted two leaves from them so this will make 4 cause they took
ReplyDeleteAm I happy or what?? What luck to find them for 1.99.
rooted from leaves...I am so impressed!
Delete$1.99 is, like, free. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think, Silver...I like the way you think!
DeleteAh, so lovely. When my sister was born, my grandfather planted a hydrangea bush on one side of his garden path to commemorate the event, and when I was born a year and half later, he planted another on the opposite side. They were still there the last time I visited him many years ago when I was sixteen. My long-winded way of saying hydrangeas are very special to me--and well worth the outlay of $1.99! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a very sweet thing for your grandfather to do...and so neat that they are still there and growing! I thought I got a great deal, too...definitely worth the risk of $2.
