 The thing i love about hydrangea is that you never know what colour they will turn. The colour of the flowers is determined on the ph level of your soil. Acidic soils produce blue flowers, neutral soils produce very pale cream petals, and alkaline soils results in pink or purple. Kind of like mood rings of the flower world :)

  1. Stunning photos.. I adore hydrangea as well.. especially when they turn that purpley-periwinkle color. So soft and pretty.
