Check this out! My Hydrangea is blooming with purple, pink and blue flowers! I thought they bloomed either pink or blue? I don't know what is going on with it but I love it!

Color can be changed by making soil more acidic if you want blue ones. Thats all I know about Hydrangea. I leaned that on here a few weeks ago.

My question, exactly glendann!  I've heard of changing the color with adding acid to the soil, but how did I end up with multi-colored ones?
Also....I just inherited my gardens this Spring when we moved in to this house, so I've done nothing to the soil, they just "happened" this way!
