Hydrangeas

So every time I go to the supermarket, I pass by the flower section, and I drool over the hydrangeas (hortensia). They cost about $10, which isn't so much, but when you try to stay thrifty with certain things, it does start to feel like splurging.

Since Morgan is going through his Annoying 6, I decided to give myself a piece of happiness by buying some flowers for myself.

I love flowers. I go crazy every spring, and start planting fruit and veggies as well as perennials. I had a whole strawberry and pansy phase. Now it is all about Peonies and Hydrangeas. I am waiting for the frost to stop, so I can start planting in our garden.

In the fall I planted two Hydrangeas in front of my house, I don't know if they survived the winter. But I do hope they will bloom again soon. Hopefully they will keep their vibrant Violet/Blue if the PH in the soil will allow it. I don't feel like fussing over the PH, I have a whole garden to plan.

Here is my lovely new Pink/Violet hydrangea. Hopefully it will hold up well, so I can plant it outside when the weather gets warmer.
