I have a hydrangea that has been battling all dry season, and is coming into its own now - I think it does like lots of water. africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18126294.post-3460236081147148172012-10-23T16:05:45.802-07:002012-10-23T16:05:45.802-07:00Hi Ami....That Drift rose is a real beauty. I have...Hi Ami....That Drift rose is a real beauty. I have plants in four different colors and they're all performing very well. Not sure how hydrangeas would do that far south but you can give it a try if you have a nice shady spot. They need lots of water until they are established.<br /><br />Hi Leslie...Now that I'm getting back into the garden I feel like blogging again. Putting together combinations in the garden is one of the things I enjoy the most. It's fun to play around with it...and sometimes you get lucky. I have Mother Nature put together some really pretty combos...that's how I discovered that purple and orange look sooooo pretty together.

Now I'll have to find some Drift roses and try my hand at orchids. . . .<br /><br />I always enjoy seeing the color combinations you come up with. The vinca-sage-abelia combo is really nice, and I really like what you've paired with your hydrangea.<br /><br />Oh, and that Hawaiian Sunset hibiscus is just too pretty. It makes me think of orange sherbet or some delicious tropical drink.Leslie Kimelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819439877752751687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18126294.post-83350009763781335402012-10-23T09:43:05.284-07:002012-10-23T09:43:05.284-07:00Forgot to mention that I really love that swan con...Forgot to mention that I really love that swan container in the last picture! :)Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18126294.post-58196588945745801442012-10-23T09:42:11.972-07:002012-10-23T09:42:11.972-07:00Susan: All those autumn colors are so stunning in...Susan: All those autumn colors are so stunning in your garden! I can not leave my eyes away from that Drift roses, what a pretty color, and it has scent! I must find that one! :) I don't see many Floridian trying Hydrangeas, and you seem have found the perfect spot for it. hmm, I should try that also. Love the color contrast in the last two pictures, just beautiful! I have been tuckling lots of cool season annuals into my garden. Isn't wonderful that we can work outside again without feeling the excessive heat and humidity? Happy Gardening!Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07744078497819915126noreply@blogger.com
