This hydrangea is the first one we bought. I searched through my archives and realized we brought this baby home 2 years ago! Wow, how time flies. At the time, I was as newbie as a newbie can be to gardening. Though I definitely still consider myself a beginner today, I'm farther along than I was 2 years ago.
I lamented in the start of my 2012 garden that even though it was growing leaves, it'll probably never flower.
I told David that we should just buy new ones and throw this one away and we did. We bought 2 more hydrangeas last year in June and planted them.
I took the following picture literally minutes ago. The bush probably doubled in size compared to last year and It is just thriving. You can see the first white bloom. It is massive.
Now you know why I have enough still shots to make a time-lapse video of its first bloom this year. :) I've been waiting for this flower for a while. And it's definitely my time of laughter and joy. :)
On the subject of joy, here are the flowers of the 2 hydrangeas planted last year. I am in love of this beautiful blue-purple hued flower. It's just gorgeous.
