REVERSE INSPIRATION – BLUE HYDRANGEA

Blue Hydrangea
Blue Hydrangea in my yard TODAY

 

I will never forget the day..

…..years ago when we first moved here. I was poking around my yard..still getting to know the view and I came upon a HUGE HYDRANGEA bush…

…..it was covered with dead and dying blossoms…I had found it too late…and I felt like I missed Christmas…I vowed never to let those blossoms come and go again, without a visit from ME.

Now, every year, around the middle to the end of JUNE…My house is a BLUE HYDRANGEA festival!!!

I heard last week, that you can simply take a Hydrangea blossom, break it off and jam it right into the Earth..and a bush will grow…I may just have to try it..bring some seasonal color right up to the front of the house…for now..enjoy the “BLUE”…

…One this for certain…If you take your design inspiration from Mother Nature…she will NEVER steer you wrong. Less is More and a little goes a long way…but everything you need to know is right there…in your own back yard!
