We planted many hydrangeas a few years ago, and they're really starting to burst forth with color. I love it when the colors are not set, but rather mixed.... yet they change over time. Right now this beauty is pink, blue, and green. Lovely after last night's rain.
It's really hard to beat white! This is a small portion of a massive bush that's probably a good forty years old. It's great for cutting huge bouquets.
I planted this hanging basked with just one wave petunia plant. It was kind of spindly at first, but has filled out nicely. I'm currently in love with old fashioned pinks and blues in the garden.
I love the lavender plant mixing in with the pink dianthus.

Swinging in the sunshine.
And playing freeze tag.
Lastly.... the new fall bag I'm currently working on. I couldn't get my hands on the antique black I had originally chosen as a background. My best surprises are when I'm forced to rethink my plan. I found this lovely dark teal/green that gives the piece a more jewel tone feel. I will hit and miss various colors from the flowers around the edge of the dark teal.
Off to prepare my pattern for the Jane Halliwell Green class next week in Searsport, Maine. Very excited!
