Summer has slipped away, and although we have crossed over the threshold into autumn, colour is still abound even as blooms fade.

The colour is gradually fading and becoming dotted at they prepare for the long sleep ahead, yet their colour still shines through for now. Thank you, Liz 🙂

Hydrangeas are one the shrubs of the season. Mine do not flower even though I spring prune back to twin buds. I recently read a blog where they cut them back hard each spring, and the flowers were fantastic. I am going to give this a go next spring!

I cut mine at the wrong time of the year and they didn’t flower at all the following summer, which was last year. So I just let them be, and they have bloomed wonderfully this year.

What a beautiful colour. Much more rich than the pink and blue coloured ones I’ve seen here.

I have always loved Hydrangeas since I was a young boy and my folks grew one in the front garden.

Here we have cleaned up all the dead flowers and garden refuse, and last night most of the leaves blew off the trees. Looks bare and bleak!

Very windy here, and many leaves have being whipped from their boughs and are fluttering around the streets and gardens here. Plenty more to come down yet though.

Lovely and bright. There’s only really blueish ones round here.

Thank you, Jill 🙂 I believe its down to the type of soil they grown in that affects their colouring.
