Pink at Last

As some of my readers may remember, Man and I live on land created by a retreating glacier, actually, the dumping grounds of said retreating glacier.  (Translation:  we live on a sand and gravel pit!) 

As I have said before, there is no way there is enough acid loving plant food in the world to get my hydrangeas to bloom blue.

But, one did finally make pink.  OK, so, it is turning because it is fall, but, beggars cannot be choosers, so,

PINK AT LAST, PINK AT LAST!!

*Encouraged by this pink, even late in the year, I heavily fed the hydrangeas again this fall!  Hope springs eternal.

Hydrangea

My hydragea, just beginning to bloom, last week.  Mine never turn pink or blue no matter how much acid loving plant food I give them.  And, they are not the prettiest bushes in my yard, straggley, not full.  I know it all has to do with the sand and gravel pit we live on, thanks to retreating glaciers a few years back!  But, close up, pretty.
