Enjoying the Beautiful Hibiscus Blossoms

Purple, Pink, and Blue Hydrangeas on One Bush

We are certainly enjoying the many colors that this Hydrangea is providing.  There are so many shades of Purple, Pink and Blue.

I do love Hydrangeas!

We enjoy these Hydrangeas in the Summer Months and look forward to the blooming of our Limelights.

Enjoying The Simple Things In Life

To some people, the Dandelion is a bothersome weed and to some it is a source of food but to me the simple little Dandelion is a reminder to enjoy the Simple Things In Life.

Which one are you?

Japanese Dogwood's Red Berries

The red berries on our Japanese Dogwood or Kousa Tree are really a pretty sight. The tree is loaded with them and it looks as if it is decorated for Christmas. Some have fallen off the tree so the ground below is splattered with red berries. They almost look like Raspberries but when you pick one up, you realize that they are hard on the outside. I read that these berries were edible. I picked some and put them in a bowl and have been thinking of trying to taste one but haven't gotten up the nerve. One forum post that I read said that it is best to skin the outer tough layer and eat the inside which as a very sweet taste. No one on this forum thought that the taste was very good so I am not real motivated to try one.

Mountain Hydrangea

Our Mountain Hydrangea is loaded with blooms and they are so beautiful. I rooted these two plants from what looked like dead sticks over 20 years ago and they have really brought us years and years of enjoyment.

Since writing this post, I decided to make a Squidoo lens about our Hydrangea that I thought was a Mountain Hydrangea. Now I think it may be a Limelight that is one of the PeeGees. Do you know?

What Kind of Hydrangea Is This?
