Miss Jane (my friend who loves to garden and has a wonderful garden) sent me a message.  “The hydrangeas are blooming and you might want to see them.”

Well, yes!  I could not wait to get over there.

After Hot Rod’s belt test, we were in the neighborhood, and I called to see if it would be okay to stop by.  (We only “drop in” on REALLY good friends.)

Sweet Mother of Pearl.  I had no idea hydrangeas grew this big.  This is called an oak leaf hydrangea, and as you can tell, it reaches almost to the eaves of their home.

The large white snowy blooms against the large green foliage was so pretty.

Wow!  The oak leaf hydrangea are suitable for planting in Texas gardens.

This is another oak leaf hydrangea that is a little smaller.

Beautiful!

This hydrangea is different.  It has double petals on the blooms.

Another smaller more compact variety of hydrangea was in elsewhere in her garden.

Look closely.  These blooms are beginning to turn pink.  It is amazing the transformation that occurs.

We came to see the hydrangeas, but the daylilies were also beginning to bloom.

This daylily had bright yellow blooms that reminded me of stars.

So pretty.  Daylight was almost gone, and the blooms shown brightly.   Miss Jane mentioned that she had several types of daylilies that would bloom at different times during the next few weeks.  I am so impressed that she knows how to plan and plant like this.

There was one other plant that was so interesting.  A little “cap” stays on the blooms.

These flowers are fascinating, and the endless variety of plants is amazing.

Remember the chorus we sang in Sunbeams? (Baptist preschool mission organization in the 1950’s.)

Oh, who can make a flower?

I’m sure I can’t, can you?

Oh, who can make a flower?

No one but God, it’s true.

Thank you again Miss Jane for inviting me to visit your garden.  I liked it.  I loved it.

Blessings to you and yours,
