The Generation Bush



Aren't Hydrangea Bushes Beautiful?  I think so.  The women in my family have had them in their yards for 3 generations.  My grand-mother Minnie, my mother Mildred, and now Me. 

I can remember going to my grand-mother's house and seeing her huge hydrangea bushes by the back door, on each side of the steps.  They were pink too.  My mama had them in the front yard in front of her screened in porch. 

I have not always had good luck with them in my yard for some reason.  They would always die no matter where I put them.  :(   Three years ago I decided to try it again, but in a different way.  A POT  !!!!

Hey it lived.  Hurray Hurray.  Boy was I excited when the plant came back the 2nd year, and now the 3rd year.  I also planted one in the dirt and it has lived too. 




My tip for today is: Use a flower pot when all else fails.  You may be pleasantly surprised.

Have A Blessed Day Everyone
