Also saw Barefoot Contessa uses the leaves to decorate her platters. did that myself for a platter I brought along to a party and was informed that the leaves (and buds) of hydrangeas are poisonous. couldn’t believe this since the contessa used and suggested them. However I googled and TRUE they ARE POISONOUS. Ugh!

They dried out and fell off. Only a few flowers grew around the edge of the bloom. What did I do wrong?

Anyway, Hydrangeas makes me home sick for North Carolina where I stayed for 2 1/2 years. We rented a house in the “boondocks” district of Jacksonville, surrounded by corn field, cows, horses, turkey farm, barns, creeks, and huge pine trees all over. At the house itself are 4 hydrangeas shrub, which blooms great but not as profusely as my neighbors (theirs are undescribable). I believe its the weather in NC. As for Philippine’s propagation, I did not know it can survive there, I would ask my hipag to look for a plant to buy and when I go there this summer.. its like going to NC again..

Mine has just shed the last bunch of flowers and getting all geared up for the cooler days of winter. I trimmed then short to force more foliage and hopefully earlier flower shoots. What do I know? I operate on pure passion, and if there is some science to it, then great. Hydrangeas thrive better near the pond, I observed, and like generous watering and good soil drainage. you also have the white variety that eludes my “sort of green” thumb (or fingers. If you get enough white blooms, they would look great on your Christmas table, eh? Been enjoying your posts and your admirable sense of goodwill and charity. Makes me guilty for not posting lately. Sorry. I will catch up soon. Darn, if I were nearer, I would have lined up for those shirts. Those cloth totes are all the rage in stores. They are offering similar totes to purchase as alternatives to the plastic bags (think carbon footprint, the phrase of the moment). Enjoy your holidays as I slave over a dozen Cornish hens. I am not doing turkey this year ;).
