A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum Shrubs and Trees Looky at my small hydrangea!

I have had 5 white ones for years....nice mature big ones. Well 3 years ago I bought teeny tiny baby hydrangeas from a mail order place and one of them finally flowered!!!!!!!! And it's PINK! It said it was going to be blue but I know the soil acidity affects it. It's HOT PINK! I love it!

that's weird for it to bloom like that, but then one of my hibiscus bloomed like that...that's the side you water on??

Nope....I don't really water them, it's been pretty rainy this summer....rain every 3-4 days.....It's still really small though(maybe a foot tall) and I didn't think it would bloom all over this year. I was just happy to see that one.

Now my white hydrangeas are huge!

I noticed my hibisus bloomed on the side I was watering so I started watering all around

Ah, that's pretty. If I do water the bushes I do it on the soaker setting so the water really seeps in all over the base. But like I said it's been a very wet summer so I've been lucky to not have to water anything much really.

I need to but I'm afraid to leave thoe hose down with these dump dogs afraid they'll chew it up

that one hasd almost all gone to seed now

Hmmmmmmmm, could you tie them up or put them in the house while you water?

Last year it was so dry here the grass was totally burnt up. I can't believe we are still green here for now.

I hate when plants go to seed. My burning bush is already slightly starting to turn red.....and I hate that in a way because that means fall is on it's way.

oh I hate to put them up, they were both abused before we got them someone beat them

That's so sad. I don't want to get off topic too much in a plant section. We try to keep them on topic. But I feel for your doggies. :ding:

Very nice Loz...did you buy many of that variety?

That is very pretty Loz! Your white ones are huge!!!

My neighbor told me the white ones are SUPER old....yet year after year they give me quite the show.

The pink one(that was supposed to be purple), I have 2 of those. The other one is about the same size but hasn't flowered. I think that the one that hasn't flowered yet gets more shade.

I ordered them from a catalog and when I say they were tiny they were TINY. I didn't know if they'd make it or not.
