And the Hydrangea are Budding

On my walk around the property this morning, I also noticed that the hydrangea are starting to bud.  It will be important to keep these watered well so they produce lots of beautiful blossoms.  I believe this variety produces blue flowers, but we'll find out for sure about that in probably another week or 10 days.  Supposedly you can change the color of the flower by adding chemicals to the soil to make it more acid or alkaline.  I do not do that.  Whatever color nature decides to make them is what I take.



You see all of the little yellow clusters in the center of the leaves.  Those are the flower blossoms just starting to mature.



A closer look at what will be a feast for the eyes in the coming days.
