  18. Lovely photos! How do you have both pink and blue hydrangea in your garden? We rarely see pink since we have such acidic soil! If we want pink we have to put them in pots and add lots of lime!

  19. @HolleyGarden Thank you! I feel the same. I guess we don't usually get that close.

  22. @Karin / Southern Meadows If I want blue, I add a bit of sulphur to the soil. If I want pink, I add a bit of lime to the soil. If I don't do anything, I usually get a purple or lavender.

  27. @Donna I wish I really were swimming in those petals...seems like such a special place to be. I usually try to get them to turn blue, but this year I have been experimenting to get other colors. Some of those lavenders and purples are amazing.
