We missed many of the Northwest's best flowers because we didn't get here until July. But the lush hydrangeas are here to welcome us back!
Pearls on pink velvet
Blue with shooting stars
Pink and blue in combinations
And all of these beautiful colors are blooming under the same tree.
FLORAL FRIDAY FOTOS with blooms from all over the world is hosted by Nick and I HEART MACRO is hosted by Laura at her blog. Thanks Laura for giving us a place to share our up-close views of the world.
Ours are just starting to show now, Salllie. What terrific photos.

Beautiful! I especially love the ones with the mixed colors. Where I grew up, it seemed that they were in every yard.

I like Hydrangeas ! I had some of them in my old house, but here it's too dry and i never saw one of them.

Mother nature painted the ever-changing faces of hydrangeas with beautiful watercolors.
Happy journey's Sallie- be safe out there ~:P

Aren't they the most mysterious things?!
I don't have any in this garden, but love them.

These flowers could not choose what to be in the beginning, but they choose to be beautiful after that.

To your comment on my post : I wanted a Kindle reader only just to take along on trips to avoid carrying real books. My son bought me this tablet, which I really have no use for because I have a little notebook computer for my travels, lol ! The only thing I wanted was to read ! Now I have to take both things along. Can't write posts on a tablet !

Am sitting in Alice Springs airport waiting for a flight home.

I'm not sure what you missed, but this collection ought to help make up for it. Glorious! And I especially like your treatment in the 2nd shot!

What a spectacle. I've heard that the colors are dependent on soil acidity. Wonder what's going on under that tree!
Posted by: Barb | July 12, 2013 at 03:16 PM
Those are gorgeous hydrangeas. I'm glad they were there to greet you.
