Heavenly Hydrangeas

I have long thought that hydrangeas are the most perfect flower God ever created -- the colors, the perfect petals, the tiny flower center within the bigger flower. When I was a child, my nanny had huge bushes of them in front of her house. The blooms were the most gorgeous shade of purple-blue you've ever seen. Due to the soil in my yard, my hydrangeas (when they choose to bloom) are always shades of pink. Not a bad color either! Though I do not consider myself a gardener, I am always pleased when my hydrangeas show their summer finery.
