Walks in the neighbourhood are always interesting, if for no other reason than one gets to gather ideas from what others have done in their yards.
I’m not a fan of hydrangeas. I like neither the pink nor the blue versions (nerd knowledge….the colour difference is a genetic response to pH of the soil), but the white ones appeal a little bit. I’ve said it before, I’m not a flower gardener; I like shades of green and variety in texture of foliage.
I do, however, really appreciate the winter skeletons that the hydrangea blooms leave behind; I find it interesting the way that the petals dry to a lacy veil…even in a wet climate like ours.
