Of course, I am at the Jersey Shore. When you are visiting please come see the John F. Peto Studio Museum. That is how I found you because you mentioned the artist in one of your posts.Sarah Montiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229580460115965240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-9640870712269612672013-07-23T09:12:57.700-04:002013-07-23T09:12:57.700-04:00Thanks for the explanation, Cheryl.

I also read online, after posting this, that neutral soils, neither very acidic nor alkaline, can have a variety of color, even on one shrub, which yours do.

This heat wave has put tremendous stress on the blooms.<br />I don't supplement aluminum to the soil around my hydraneas. I think the variety and the amount of water helps dictate color. I originally planted in soil rich in humus and add composted manure to all my beds each spring. <br />Cheryl Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-76537997184501927942013-07-22T22:40:46.765-04:002013-07-22T22:40:46.765-04:00I share your envyI share your envyDeborahnoreply@blogger.com
