I love Hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla). All too often these days, I find older shrubs growing in what has become poor soil, and colors appear washed out. The plants start blooming in late spring but the heat of summer also tends to wash out the blooms. When I saw these hydrangeas, I was immediately drawn to the lovely blooms. The daylilies (Hemerocallis) in front were a nice counterpoint, so I snapped this picture of all the flowers against the wall.
