We have church at our friend's farmhouse. This morning, while we were hanging out and enjoying the nice weather outside before church started, these new hydrangeas they'd just planted caught my eye and I was inspired to take some pictures (and go all Instagram!).
These hydrangeas had a story behind them though. My friends Rachel and Tricia went to NYC last weekend for the National Stationary Show. They had a booth there for their line of stationary, Fawnsberg.
Apparently one of the other booths had some hydrangeas for decoration, and when the show was over they were going to throw them out (since they had flown there from Florida and weren't able to bring the flowers back with them on the plane). So Rachel and Tricia's Dad decided to bring them home and plant them in front of their porch (there were six plants in all). No sense wasting perfectly good hydrangeas, right? I guess there was a LOT of stuff that people threw out after the show...like display stuff and even furniture. Gah!...such a waste! If I'd known, I'd have called my brother (he lives in NYC) and had him go down there with his truck.
Back to the flowers. The question is...will they remain pink or turn blue? (Hydrangeas change color depending on the acidity of the soil.) Either way, they are really pretty!
