hydrangea

This picture of the hydrangea bushes behind the vegetable boxes was taken in early summer before the week of hot days which sizzled some of the tips and flower heads which were exposed.  I covered the bushes on hot days.

 
This pink hydrangea survived the heat.  Strangely, the flowers in the bush beside it are bluish even though the plants were cuttings taken from the same bush.  I wonder if one bush gets more leaf litter than the other.

These flower heads are from the same bush but they are at different stage of maturity.  The colours fade as the flowers age.
