Beautiful Hydrangea~

~Lace Cap Hydrangea~




These beautiful Lace Cap Hydrangea were everywhere this weekend. I was visiting the south shore of Massachusetts- and it was abundant in gorgeous blue Hydrangeas of every variety.



~Busy-Bee~

This little Bumble Bee was busy gathering nectar from this Lace Cap Hydrangea.


We have a yard full of Endless Summer Hydrangea~ they are a real favorite of ours. I have posted about them before- you can read that post here.

If you have a fondness for this beautiful shade of blue- and you love the glorious flower of the Hydrangea, I encourage you to try the Endless Summer variety of Hydrangea- perfect for colder climates.

Unfortunately, the Lace Cap Hydrangea does not winter well here in the northeast, but it does very well in Massachusetts and areas south of Massachusetts.

    Hydrangeas are one of the most amazing bushes...I love to see one laden with those heavy blue blooms, draping a walkway or an entry.
    The color is so inviting.

    Such pretty flowers! We picked some the other day and they are so gorgeously displayed around our house which is decorated with ivory and grey...so the blue is a striking addition.
