These babies are really puttin' on the show this year.
Some newer shots of Endless Summer
Gosh, I like these flowers.
I cut some and brought some blooms into the house today.
This is an Oak Leaf Hydrangea starting to do its thing.
These dry pretty nice on the bush. I give them a few weeks to stay on the bush, as they turn an old fashioned parchment color...with a pink tinge to them, and then I cut them for the house.

They are so pretty! I have Nikko Blues that are pink right now...trying to give them a bit more acidity because I LOOOOVE the blue!
I was thinking of getting oak leaf hydrangea, they look so airy and I thought they might take the heat better than my others.

I'm not a real fan of hydrangeas but I do love the beautiful blue of yours.

So very lovely! 
I have a couple of Lacecaps, which I love,
and a climbing Hydrangea which has yet to bloom, 
but, I think I may just HAVE to find a spot for more.
