I saw these wonderful blooms in the front yard of a house beside the Pharmacy I was visiting last week. They always bloom at this time in Summer and they are so mesmerizing and inspiring. Hydrangeas, as I found out, are best planted in soil that has plenty of organic nutrients. I am doing container gardening at the moment as I no longer have my garden from the row house we gave up. If I reuse a pot of soil from the previous season, I always add feed beforehand, combining it with the soil before replanting whatever plants I want to grow. I also use commercial fertilizer if I do not have enough organic feed such as manure or eggshells, used brewed coffee or tea and boiled water of cooked potatoes.

I once planted a small Hydrangea bush in the garden, but for whatever reason, it was a failure. Maybe, I overwatered it or the spot where it was planted was not good for the plant. At any rate, I think I will give it a 2nd chance.

Hydragea, is one flower I adore after roses and peonies. In the garden of our complex, I ´ve have seen so many of the white variety growing in the common gardens and they are flowering now . I think they are robust plants and can endure harsh winters.

According to one of the gardeners at the Garden Center, Hydrangeas can also live in acidic soils but surely alkaline content might influence the color of the flowers. Adding to that, one should choose a spot where the soil could easily drain when watering the bush. Being well taken care of, it will give beautiful blooms that could last for days.

Oil Painting...

My love for these flowers is immense that I captured them in a canvass in oil in the form of a naive painting.

I hope you got inspired by these blooms and wish they serve as inspiration for the new week ahead.

Very much inspired. I love hydrangeas, too. But, for my they are hard to propagate. I have friend in Olongapo City she planted hydrangeas but did not flower even the leaves were big and healthy she didn't knew why. I think they are super maselan na plants.

Yes I love it ate @mers. First time I've seen real hydrangeas is when we went to Buwakan ni Alejandra last year and I liked it very much since then.

I love hydrangeas. I used to have 2 big pots but when one of my sisters transferred it to another location and planted it on the ground it died. Maybe it "hated" the new location and my sister (lol). Will buy again, it is such a beauty.

Yeah, some plant do not want to be moved to another place.. I had a lily that flowered only once after 25 years. I placed it on top floor for the sunlight..when we came back from Spain, it was blooming so plenty and even bloomed more the 2nd time around after about 2 weeks. We are in the new flat since 2 years now and it hasn't bloomed yet.

Watch out for the human traffickers at hivefest. You wont know it until its too late. STAY AWAY! Beware, traffickers can be women or men! They will act nice until they dont. There is human trafficking going on around this type of crypto. I have witnessed it. They literally have attempted my murder and are trying to kill me with V2K and RNM. Five years this has been happening to me, it started here, around people that are still here. Homeland security has done nothing at all, they are not here to protect us. Dont we pay them to stop shit like this? The NSA, CIA, FBI, DHS, Police and our Government has done nothing. Just like they did with the Havana Syndrome, nothing. Patriot Act my ass. The American government is completely incompetent. The NSA should be taken over by the military and contained Immediately for investigation. I bet we can get to the sources of V2K and RNM then. https://ecency.com/fyrstikken/@fairandbalanced/i-am-the-only-motherfucker-on-the-internet-pointing-to-a-direct-source-for-voice-to-skull-electronic-terrorism ..... https://ecency.com/gangstalking/@acousticpulses/electronic-terrorism-and-gaslighting--if-you-downvote-this-post-you-are-part-of-the-problem if you run into one of them you may want to immediately shoot them in the face. 187, annihilate, asphyxiate, assassinate, behead, bleed, bludgeon, boil, bomb, bone, burn, bury, butcher, cap, casket, choke, chop, club, crucify, crush, curb, decapitate, decimate, deflesh, demolish, destroy, devein, disembowel, dismember, drown, electrocute, eliminate, end, euthanize, eviscerate, execute, explode, exterminate, extinguish, finish, fry, grind, guillotine, gut, hack, hang, hit, ice, implode, incinerate, kill, liquidate, lynch, massacre, maul, microwave, mutilate, neutralize, obliterate, off, pop, poison, punnish, quarter, ruin, shank, shock, shoot, shred, skin, slay, slaughter, smoke, smother, snipe, snuff, squish, stab, strangle, stone, suffocate, suicide, SWAT, swing, terminate, torture, terrorize, whack, waste, wreck.

Yes indeed! Hydrangeas are very special beauties and somehow remind me of my childhood. The good parts that is.

You must be very proud of that painting. It's lovely my friend.😊

Thank you for appreciating! The panting is a trial and error one, I didn`t know how to paint the flowerettes so it resembles the blooms of Hydrangeas...and so I thought of using the top of a pencil (the flat one that is not sharpened) and dip it on the paint on the palette.It was just like playing with the colors... Lololols!
