Since we can't grow these in my area, I tried to get a shot while up north. I wanted to capturehttp://fahner.smugmug.com/photos/28863480-L.jpgthe true colors...

Trish beautiful, looks like you got the colors perfectly. I love hydrangias! I never seem to get them that blue again if I put them in the ground.

Going to Huntington Gardens tomorrow [yes, in the bloody heat here in L.A.] Photo shoot with a group in my area. Looking forward to everything but the heat. :rolleyes
Hope to find some that aren't too burned up. lolol

NG you simply have to lower the soil PH to make them go from pink to blue/purple. Just add some sulphur around the base of it...its not a fast process but it always works.

If you want them to go the other way.. ie purple to pink then add lime to increase the soil PH.
