Flowers on Friday

Today I'm looking back to Spring 2013,

with photos I took of my hydrangeas

for this floral post.

This month Trishie gave us a theme of 

"flower in focus"

As I'm working full time at the mo

I haven't had a spare minute to get out

and photograph winter flowers in the garden....

so it was back to the archives!

This is my fave white hydrangea

"Bridal Bouquet".

It is exquisite in bud

and I'm told it is used in wedding bouquets

hence the name.

However, after the initial 'first flush'

the heads become huge and quite ordinary!

I've decided she is worth keeping

at this stage - but we'll see!

As my townhouse garden is small

I really do need to be much more selective in my plant choices.

I am now quite brave at culling

plants and shrubs that don't make the cut for me,

however, I admit it's difficult.

Another hydrangea I love

but sadly I've lost the original tag

so I can't tell you the name.

It's very pretty and a good picker too!

I'm joining
Sharon for July Garden Party 

Liz for Fresh-Cut Friday

Trishie for Floral Friday

and

Mary for Mosaic Monday

Thank you all for your kind comments.

Only another two weeks of this crazy

full time work.... 

then things will return to normality

and I will be visiting you all again!

Take care and

be kind to one another.

Merci à bientôt
