Wonderful flower pics! That hydrangea is a beauty! Is it the one you removed crab grass from? I can see why you worked so hard on it!
May you be blessed with a fantastic Friday accompanied by a safe and joyful weekend!

Thank You!

Sharon that is the one I cleared crabgrass from , but sadly it has grown back and will have to be done again. It was started from a cutting of my grandmother's bush
and is older then I am , which is 50 yrs old. I still have a persistent maple tree sapling to remove and just might have to dig up and preposition one or two of the
hydrangea clumps that are too close to the fence when I get the time and energy. It may take a while but I do hope to get it sorted out eventually.

In the meantime I do have a few pics of my latest buds and blooms ,

my first year Standing Cypress, Ipomopsis rubra is finally starting to bud Hurray!

Kurt everything looks lovely! When you have pretty blooms nobody notices anything else. That is wonderful that your hydrangea came from your grandma as a cutting. Might I suggest if you are going to move it to make a couple of cuttings and make sure they have rooted before you move it. That way if something happens you still have the plant. With a beautiful hydrangea like that if you end up with too many plants maybe other family members, friends, or neighbors would like one. Many blessings for continued success. May you have a wonderful Wednesday!

went to shoot a video of a couple dancing butterflies who calmed down before I got to them , so I turned the shoot into a quick walk through the garden.
