Summer in Atlanta is hot and sticky, but the high humidity is perfect for growing hydrangeas. I'm in love with hydrangeas; they are one of the most beautiful summer blooming plants in the south. I can remember when I moved to Atlanta being drawn to the cool shaded area on the north side of the my house where a huge bush of blue hydrangeas was planted. The giant blooms were as big as a plate and such a clear, deep blue they seemed to belong in a hot house rather than casually hanging about the garden.
Every year just a few weeks before the daily temps soar, we get to enjoy these gorgeous blooming flowers in a range of bold colors. Below are some of my jewelry designs reminiscent of the hydrangeas in the garden...
CHEERS!

Enjoying your summer love grid! I too love hydrangeas; they are in bloom all around me in shades ranging from hot pink, to lavender to periwinkle-gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThose are some awesome hydrangeas! My dad used to have them in the garden and he could get those blues too. I love the pee gee ones, so lacy and flirty. You have done a nice job capturing the intense colors of these fabulous flowers
