Last Saturday walking to the Knit and Natter via the library l saw some Hydrangea heads asking how much was told they would have been £12 each...gasp!!
But were all needed for an arrangement already ordered
Came home and said l must buy a plant or two at that price...hehe

What a nice gift, and looks a lovely healthy young plant. I love hydrangeas and this year have added a chemical to the soil to turn my pink hydrangea blue and various shades in between, fun!! The heads also dry well Suz so you then can have a nice display for winter.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your Christmas plans having to alter, am sure you will soon come up with another idea.
Have a nice weekend.
How lovely Suz. I had a look at my pink one but the blooms are already past their best.
