Big Summer Colors in the Yard

 

Spring brings in the abundance of colors and once the heat of summer arrives, there are less colors available. The day lilies are brief yet colorful. With the excessive heat we have experienced and recently the harsh are form the western fires, one seeks some color when they can.

We have a wall of hydrangeas that front our utility shed.  With some care with acidic fertilizer and an occasional watering, they reward us with their deep blue flowers.

They will keep us in color for at least another month, and the flowers are so large that one can't help but smile.

Good morning Ed. Like your choice since blue is my favorite color. Living in a townhome restricts our planting ability being limited to a couple of pots on the balcony. Miss the single family home in Florida but grandkids dictated relocation. Enjoy your day.

Good morning, Ed... I love hydrangea... especially blue ones. That, in fact, is the color of my house. My bushes are not flowering this year, but I'm told that does happen every so often.

Those summer colors are so beautiful.  I love blue flowers. I wonder if those would grow well in my neck of the woods.

Ed the hydrangeas are gorgeous.  My wife and I will be going back to the Azores next year, and there are hydrangeas of all different colors all over the islands.

Love the blue colors and I miss our Lilacs. However out here water is precious so we do not water anything.
