Happy Birthday to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound on her one year anniversary of Pink Saturday!! What an accomplishment and gathering of (mainly) women sharing their pink thoughts from all over the United States and even beyond. Congratulations Beverly!
I bet you think I just want to show you what beautiful pink hydrangeas I grow---WRONG! No, if I had my way I'd be posting this for Blue Monday. Of course, I'd still be here with you for Pink Saturday with something else :). Nope, this is my Nikko blue hydrangea--having trouble seeing the blue? Me too. Now I know all about changing the PH of the soil to encourage a blue hydrangea....but mine aren't having any part of that. They intend to be pink and pink they are. At least I have respect for this bush. Two others can't commit...they are pinkish, blueish, purpleish. I guess if I want blue flowers I will just depend on my balloon plants or azurateum.
Have a great weekend after you have visited everyone joining in the Pink Saturday birthday celebration with Beverly http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/05/happy-birthday-pink-saturday-may-30-2009.html.

Lovely hydrangeas... Pretty in pink! Great to see you here at the Pink Birthday Bash! That is an awesome pink photo! Have a great Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteToo funny, I'd take a bloom in any color. I can't get mine to bloom at all:( Any hints?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day!
I think I would rather the pink any day! Gardening is such a discovery, we are never quite sure exactly what we will get even though the label assure us otherwise. Isn't life like that!Enjoy the journey and Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteThose hydrangeas are determined to be pink! They are lovely. Happy Pink Saturday!
ReplyDeleteOh, I miss mine! My former home had such beautiful plants! I've got a long way to go here...
ReplyDeleteJessie is adorable! I used to have a Shih Tzu and he was the best dog I have ever had.
ReplyDeleteI like the Pink Hydrangea! Though I know it is supposed to be blue.... Happy Pink Saturday!
I know what you mean girlfriend! I bought 2 thinking they were lacecaps and all I got were 2 regular hydrangeas and I can't get them blue either!! Love ya! Lauralu :)
ReplyDeleteLovely hydrangea! Mine won't co-operate and is a strange shade of purple!

There's just something about Pink Saturday that brings our the sweetness in people. Beverly sure knew what she was doing when she brought her concept to the world of blog.

I envy those who can get the color of their hydrangeas to be what they want. Mine are also of the pink or lavender variety...and I would like for them to be blue. Happy Pink Saturday.

ReplyDeleteWow! The hydrangea is gorgeous! I actually like this pink one! Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteI like pink hydrangeas better. So I'm happy seeing yours! I think my hydrangeas are actually going to bloom this year. I planted them a couple of years ago & each year they die from the heat before they bloom. I'm trying to make sure they are watered this year. Cross your fingers for me. And thanks for visiting my blog & leaving me a comment.
ReplyDeletei love hydrangea.. how i wish my blue hydrangea turn pink too! i think it all depends on the ph of the soil..

I love hydrangeas in any color! My Nikko blue is actually blue this year! I put rose fertilizer on it - I didn't have the azalea fertilizer & thought something was better than nothing. Well, I was shocked to see them blue!
