The Summer Blooms Have Ended

My hydrangeas have kept me enraptured by their beauty all summer! I rarely cut any of the flowers that I grow to bring in the house for a bouquet because I love to look at them in their natural habitat, connected to the plant. This is the first one that has made it into the house. My plants have hit the end of the road for this year. No more buds bursting out. The natural process of shutting down has won out again. No more fresh flowers from the garden until Spring 2015! They are worth waiting for!

The last beauty of the year in my favorite color

Have a great day!
