Graham’s health hasn’t been good this year. He’s had a very painful back, several chest infections and quite a few hospital appointments. This has meant that we haven’t gone away recently and so, I have enjoyed working in the garden.
I also decided to do some studies, in sketch books, of some of the plants . This Hydrangea is flowering early this year and is glorious again. Last summer I sent a photo of it to the RHS magazine as it has blooms of pink, blue, mauve and cream, all on the same plant. The blooms of Hydrangeas are usually just one colour as the plant is affected by the type of soil its in. The RHS printed the photo which I was chuffed about but couldn’t tell me why my plant has so many blooms of different colours!!
