There's no denying it - I love hydrangeas! Yes, they are tempermental and prone to the slightest variation in weather conditions, but when everything is right for them they reward you with their absolute beauty, so pure and uncomplicated.

I particularly love the Wedding Day Art photo of the bridal bouquet, where the bride has wrapped her grandmother's crystal rosary beads lovingly around her hydrangea flowers - so beautifully poignant.

  2. Hydrangeas are my absolute favorite flower. I have them dried in the house and a few bushes in my yard, although they can be tricky.to keep healthy, especially in Wisconsin.

    You have a beautiful blog!

    They are truly the unsung heroes of the garden.
    Have a lovely weekend.

Without a quickening of the heart.
