Love the blue ones! Mine are like a purple pink. Very nice! 

These are so beautiful. One of my fav flowers. They’re great. I picture a vase of them on my table as I heal and recover! 🩷💜💙 

Stunning colors !! - what kinda fertilizer do you use?  

Beautiful flowers from our beautiful lady!!! 

Gorgeous! 

Beautiful!!! 

Stunning! Your flowers are so beautiful they don't look real including the roses you posted recently.  

So envious of your beautiful flowers! I will just enjoy all your gorgeous pics.  

Thanks so much, guys! I am so grateful for flowers and the beauty of nature! I wish I could send you a bouquet, wifey! Mermee, I have the one dark pink hydrangea bush (mother's day gift one of my girls got at safeway) that is sort of "color-fast." The others are becoming more and more blue. The variegated purple was Pepto Bismol pink when I got it a few years ago. In our soil here, it is hard to keep them pink. MattRide, my hydrangeas get nothing but Seattle rain. :) Again, Truly, I appreciate that my friends here enjoy the the flowers. I don't usually photograph my food. I prefer to share the calorie free "treats" I am enjoying.  

I have always wanted to grow these, yours are so beautiful. I tried twice without success. 

My favorite! I just love them!!💜💙🩷💛 

Beautiful! 

These are gorgeous! Hope you had a great day off! We just got back from Wisconsin this afternoon. I will have to text you a picture of the fish I caught with my brother in law. ;)  

So beautiful! Wow 

Wow 

rcguenth, I really can take so little credit for these. They need water some shade and sun and to not be over pruned. They just want to grow here. Maybe someday you will find a hardy bush that wants to bloom for you! Thank you all! You need to send me more pics than fish, Princess!  

To keep hydrangeas pink, you need alkaline soil. 

Just beautiful flowers. When I visited Seattle I loved seeing the beautiful flowers ❤️🙌 

Hydrangea goals!! They're stunning!! 

Thanks, folks! Our climate is conducive to growing flowers that enjoy the damp! The rain is good for that! I give these guys a ton of water during the drier months, and they are thankful! ☺️ Shir, I've thought about using soil additives. Ours is pretty acidic. But, I'm too lazy or cheap or... Maybe I just love blue!
