\"\"<\/a>Hydrangeas are my favorite flowers but I’m not sure the feeling is mutual. It’s a mystery, when I drive past a falling-down building in the wine country with giant old hydrangeas still marching up to the roof line, while I’m lucky if mine grow to be knee-high. I’ve planted every color and every variety and tried suggestions I find online.\u00a0 Still, they don’t really flourish for me.<\/p>\n

I’m indulging in a few hydrangea fantasies today. These for instance are not my flowers, not my picket fence. A girl can dream.<\/p>\n

These are from The Greenery Nursery and garden shop in Turlock<\/a>, a bit south of me,\u00a0 in the center of California.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

These are from\u00a0 High Hand Nursery & Cafe, Loomis, California.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I’ve never been able to grow the white ones. These are showing off at a Colin Cowie-designed wedding.<\/a> \"\"<\/a>Ta da!\u00a0 These are mine. From a pocket-sized Mill Valley back yard. It’s a sweet little bouquet for the kitchen table, but this is almost the total\u00a0 crop from one plant.\u00a0 Only a few more blossoms appeared later. Sigh.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I have high hopes for this year.\u00a0 I’m off in search of new planters and new baby hydrangeas.<\/p>\n
