I Left My Heart in San Francisco...
These hydrangeas always reminds us of the attractions along Lombard Street in San Francisco. Well, we brought our hearts back with us to Southern California and planted our very own hydrangeas. This is our first pink hydrangea that we bought many years ago. Recently, it started to change color from pink to lavender to blue (due to soil acidity), and also multi-color on the same plant. Since then, we started to plant more of them (from cuttings) and also tried other varieties, such as double-hydrangeas and paniculata (Limelight).
Adding aluminum sulfate to the soil will make them BLUE like these cuttings that I propagated from above (which started out as PINK). It took only 2 years for these hydrangeas to grow to more than 3 feet tall and covered with blooms throughout summer.

Need to complete all the colors of the rainbow in the garden, so why not some green flowers too? We saw this paniculata (Little Limelight, right photo) at a nursery and so we got one this summer and hope to propagate a lot more so we can plant them around the garden. We also bought the larger version (Limelight) which can grow over 8 ft. tall.
