Recently spotted in my overgrown jungle… Only this time last year it was blue!

This hydrangea is a new addition to our garden, back when I took better care of everything. It was such a pretty blue. Don’t get me wrong, pink is a lovely colour too. I have been reading about how you can encourage the blue to return, and some of the cures sound dangerous, chemicals and the like. But I am now saving all my tea bags. Apparently, burying them near the plant should do the trick. And while I’m at it, I could try getting rid of some of those weeds!

I am also planning a happy weekend. Reading, writing and a little attention to the bonsai. No worries or problems allowed…

Wishing you all have the weekend of your choice, folks…

love always

Jaye 💕

  1. Color of hydrangeas – white, blue, or pink – depends on soil acidity, and can be chosen. My grandmother had them, and so did we.

    1. No wonder they are so popular, they are gorgeous!

  2. Heavens to Murgatroid! I wonder what happened to the soil? … or perhaps a better question might be, who happened to the soil? :D

    1. I am having enough trouble with the weeds, I don’t have the time to worry about the soil…

  3. I have blue, pink and purple ones growing on the same bush, which is very strange!

    1. I bet it looks lovely…

  4. I have one blue and one pink. Pink one is in a pot with different soil. Didn’t know about tea bags.

    1. I don’t like mucking about with chemicals, so I am saving my tea bags!

  5. I am also trying to stave off anxieties this weekend. I didn’t know about burying teabags near hydrangeas. I will try that too.

    1. I wonder how long it will take? and good luck with the staving!

      1. I don’t know. Let us know if it works.

        1. The process probably takes a season, Robbie, but I shall keep checking…

  6. I love how hydrengeas change colour due to the chemical composition of the soil. The pink is lovely.
