Hydrangea Happy

Four summers ago, when the girls were born we planted two trees in our garden to commemorate their birth. While we were at the nursery, I also purchased the hydrangea I had been wanting for quite some time. It's blooms were always beautiful but not plentiful enough for me to cut to bring some inside. Finally, there are tons of blooms this year and I have gone a little "Hydrangea Happy!"  I am putting them everywhere...

...The Dining Room



...The Fireplace Mantel

...The Office

...and there are still more than enough left in the garden.


Have a lovely weekend,


Linking to these parties...

  1. Oh the bounty of a happy Hydrangea!
    Last year, our 4 bushes pumped out just a few paltry blossoms; this year, they are covered with bloom!
    I am a happy camper.
    Do you dry them also? All you need do is allow the water in the vase to dry up naturally, and let the blossoms sit ... they'll be good all winter, although the color will fade.

  8. They are so beautiful, I'm seriously envious. Those antique pieces of furniture are lovely, too.

  9. My hydrangea is covered this year after being dismal last year as well. Everywhere I go this year the hydrangeas are just gorgeous. I'm thinking I should pick some of the blossoms that are lying close to the ground. A perfect excuse, don't you think?
