Always liked the way old Hydrangea blossoms look in the snow. Good photo.

Darn! I pruned all mine off two weeks ago...

Hello Taken for Granted. I don't much like hydrangea bushes but do like the dead flowers.

Hello Coline.
The hydrangea bush is on the new bit of my allotment. I inherited it (a week ago) with flowers still in place. I wouldn't have planted it myself but was pleased to see these dead heads against the snow. Since it's there I'll now learn how to look after it - like . . . do you prune hydrangeas?

Here in Tennessee, our hydrangeas are usually blue, a few purple and pink, but I've never seen one dried like that. I'm just happy when mine actually blooms. =)

Hello Susan. Hydrangeas here are grown in similar colours but it's a fairly standard thing to leave the blooms on over winter so the dried flowers can be appreciated.
