After Stampin' Up! came out with the new "Because I Care" Hostess set (pg 11), I have been wanting to buy another hydrangea for my garden.... I did just that this weekend... and then OF COURSE I had to photograph it :) I cannot get over all the colors in one plant!

OH! I adore hydrangea - they are such beautiful plants! I have a grafted hydrangea tree! I purchased it from Cottage Farms. It's so pretty!
From your pictures, your garden is simply gorgeous Patty!

Wow! what a beautiful hydrangea - it will look good in your garden. I bought one earlier this summer, but because we have had some terribly windy days, it dried up the flowers and they fell off - now all I have is the plant. Maybe when it cools off again late summer/early fall it will bloom again. I even gave it bloom food along with my other plants - that didn't seem to help. I love the pictures from your garden.

It's beautiful. What variety is it??

Love it Patty. My Hydrangea is a large bush of many colors like this also. So colorful. It helps to know how to color the New "Because I care" set. TFS.

Love your new Hydrangea Plant. I am going to have to reference it for coloring when I use my Stamp Set. I love the variances in the colors. Your Garden is just a treasure trove of Beautiful Flowers, I love seeing every one that you photograph. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Patty!
I get multiple colors on my hydrangeas by pouring my leftover coffee (cooled) to the plant. Egg shells are supposed to work also. I read it adds acid to the soil which causes multiple colors on the bush. I usually end up with pink, purple and blue all on the same plant. Your pictures are gorgeous!

Your garden is always so beautiful, I am jealous. I just don't have a green thumb, I recently killed a hydrangea and its sad because they are so beautiful. So please keep posting your flower pictures, I garden vicariously through you. Your roses are to die for as well!

I Love Hydrangeas. Yours is beautiful. Of all the colors they are available in, that one is my favorite. I had one for a while, but it just didn't get enough sun where I had planted it. If we ever get our new house built and get moved, I am going to plant another one. Love your photos! Keep posting them.

This is beautiful, like the rest of your garden. I'd like to know the name of it too. I just have a blue one, white one, & pink one. This one's so cool. Keep the flower garden pic's coming, I enjoy them :)

I am so envious of your beautiful flowers, and Hydrangeas are my all time favorite! Even my silk plants wilt :(
