Pink Saturday...Happy Birthday!

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.

  4. Too funny, I'd take a bloom in any color. I can't get mine to bloom at all:( Any hints?

    Enjoy your day!

  5. 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!

  20. I 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.

  27. Well, it's a beautiful pink hydrangea! We really don't ever know what color we're going to get when we plant a hydrangea bush. And just think, you would have had to wait 2 more days to post a blue one on Blue Monday. laurie
