What a difference a year makes.

 My hydrangeas are not doing so good this year. 

Last year on June 27th they looked like this. They were loaded with blooms and absolutely beautiful.


This year on June 26th they looked like this


I'm writing this on July 3rd and some of the blossoms are just starting to bloom. It sure is way behind last year.

Pay no attention to the disgusting looking siding on my house.

They are beautiful.

It's strange that they're so late this year!
But it looks like they'll bloom normally!!
The periwinkles are fantastic.
I hope you'll show us more photos from next to July 3rd if they bloom!!

Everyone around here has large and beautiful ones. We have never had any luck with our little one. Now it has maybe two blooms. They must be easy to grow because so many people have such beautiful ones. Maybe ours is in the wrong place for the kind of light it wants.

I love hydrangeas! I believe they do not do well in extreme heat.

Hydrangeas do need lots of water and if it's very hot they may need more. They may surprise you yet.

There are a lot of hydrangeas around here. I wonder what caused the delay this year.

Mine are not doing very well either...perhaps the winter we had hurt them and now all the rain. Yours were certainly gorgeous last summer. Take care and stay cool this week. Hugs!

I bet the hydrangeas didn't like the horrid heat.
I hope with the late blooming they will have a good blooming season for you
Hugs Cecilia

Extra water will help. We are always hot here in the summer. Extra water does the trick.

Have a fabulous day and week, Ann. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥
