When I walked outside this morning, I thought these lovely hydrangeas seemed inspiring. Considering that we had unusually cold weather this past winter, at least for Southern California. We thought these flowers were not coming back, but they fooled us.The fuchsia next to the hydrangea was really frozen, but it's coming along now too.
I also thought that you might like to see my little garden vignette. The cute sign came from the Ventura flea market. The angel statue came from a favorite shop in town. The rusty garden fence came from the Paris Flea Market (Not really in Paris), and the bird house was built by my husband Mark to hide a sprinkler pipe.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!
Your hydrangea is gorgeous!! They actually seem to do better when it's a little cold in the winter (and in our case, spring!) such a pretty pink color.

Thank you for your sweet comment on my graduation from university! You are so thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteYour hydrangeas are beautiful! They are one of my favourite flowers, and this summer I am fortunate enough to be working in a place surrounded by beautiful flowers such as yours.
Oh, I love your hydrangeas & the angel sign. Something about all those that just go together in a garden. So pretty!

ReplyDeleteGorgeous hydrangea - I love the birdhouse your husband built- what a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas are my favorite and yours are gorgeous. That was clever of your husband to build that to hide the pipe. I love the cherub next to the hydrangea!

I have been trying for years to grow hydrangeas, and ithink I might actually be keeping one alive this year! I can only hope they grow up to be half as pretty as yours are now.

What a beautiful corner of your garden with the pinkish Hydrangeas and your pretty decorations! We grow hydrangeas here too and we have a colder climate, but they always coming back, so don't worry next winter! Carol xox
ReplyDeleteYour hydrangea is just beautiful. That's something that doesn't grow very well here in Northern New Mexico. We had such a hard winter here, too, that my hydrangeas didn't come back at all!
ReplyDeleteYour little vignette looks so cozy and "french"! I love the sign!
I love your hydrangea's they are my favorite although unfortunetly, I kill mine every year, it is so sad. I must have a black thumb, but yours ar ejust gorgous!
ReplyDeleteI adore hydrangeas and yours are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMe again! It's been a while since I have visited and I have a lot of catching up to do!! What beautiful hydrangeas. I must come visit this Ventura Flea Market!!
