    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.

    So very lovely! [​IMG]
    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. :-D
