Hydrangea, blue and pink

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 20:15:00 +0000

We have several hydrangea plants in out garden. One is a white climbing version. But I’ve always liked the blue and pink ones the most.

Now I know that the colour of the flower heads is meant to be partially determined by the pH of the soil (blue in acidic, pink in alkaline).

So how on the same plant have I got blue and pink flower heads so close together.

The best of both worlds perhaps.

And quite intriguing. Explanations welcome.

Party dress, pale blue

Summer is here. There must be chance of a garden party or two.

And garden parties are perfect for floaty dresses, preferably cut in a way that means you’ll have plenty of space for the food on offer.

This is my favourite.

All I need now is to pick the shoes and find the party.
