Chelle,the Douglas fir must be so pretty! Great to have outdoor outlets.
Love your lit sled!!! Wonderful.
JoAnn, great idea...lights in your garden! Love to see the photos.
Tamara love the country look of a Pencil tree. At the risk of sounding like a broken record...... pics, if you are so inclined!
Re: Hydrangeas. Glowing Embers is a pretty variety I have not grown.
The Nikkos I grew were in full sun in Zone 7A, but watered with irrigation every day.
I have also grown in part shade, but got better bloom in full sun. They do like their water.
You probably already know some bloom on dead wood, so I always leave the stems till late summer, when you can see if they are truly dead.
Otherwise blooms are sacrificed to neatness.
Hope this helps
