Once again it’s time for In a Vase on Monday, hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden. And, once again, we will feature a simple arrangement of our white hydrangea ‘Blushing Bride.’
It is certainly white now but with time will take on a pink caste (thus its name), at which time it may become a candidate for yet another vase on yet another Monday.
The vase is a treasured farewell gift given to my Arranger by her friends when we moved from Chapel Hill to be near the grandkids. It is a beautiful creation by Lundberg Studios in Davenport, CA, in 2004.
Please visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to see what beautiful flowers she is displaying from her garden this week and join others doing the same.

In my book, nothing beats a white hydrangea!

Thanks, Marian. My Arranger is partial to the blue ones, and I must admit a liking for pink. But I agree about the white ones.

I for one don’t mind how many times you show them. A question, I have a white hydrangea that is in deep shade and the flowers have turned green, in your experience is this usual?

I can’t say that I’ve experienced that one, but I only have one oak leaf hydrangea in deep shade. I don’t have those deep shade conditions with the rest. I do see some green on the macrophyllas, but that’s when they are just opening. I’ll let you know when my “Little Lime’ blooms.

Lovely to see your hydrangeas in all their different shades – this white one goes perfectly in that unusual vase. Inshall look forward to seeing it again when it turns pink.

Thanks, Cathy. It may just as well turn a light blue as well. Strong willed little devils.

That is truly a beautiful vase. The white hydrangeas do it justice. They’re such a nice main-stay in the garden too.

Thank you, Susie. I think my Arranger’s friends found that vase in Chapel Hill, but neither of us knows where.

So elegant! And what a chuckle, John – I’ve never thought of hydrangeas as ‘strong willed little devils’!

Well, they do what they want to despite effort on our part. Sounds a lot like our kids.
