When we moved to this area the first time, one of the things I noticed right away was the intense, vivid, deep colors of the hydrangeas. I love hydrangeas and years ago, we used to have a beautiful one outside our dining room window. It bloomed in a lovely periwinkle blue color. The same color hydrangeas were outside another place we lived here in Ireland. They're abundant here in all kinds of colors. But up here, the colors tend to be much deeper and intense--jewel-tone--instead of being more pastel. There are some of the latter, but more of the former. I've enjoyed looking at the new-to-me hydrangea colors as I've come across them. Today as were were on a walk, I saw one that was almost neon.

Gorgeous. Still enjoying Miss Silver, along with Netgalley and books from the little free libraries...will do library when I move again. Love your blog and your photos and books.
Thanks, Brenda. I'm close to finishing the last library book I have checked out. Today got away from me as some stuff came up, but will try to finish tonight. Won't be able to go pick up the others tomorrow as I'd planned, but Friday will be the day, I hope. I'm eager to read the next Virginia Woolf on my pile so might read that next. I hope the move goes smoothly.
The deep colour is gorgeous, Shari. As you say, some transplanted humans can bloom under the right circumstances. We see it daily with immigrants here. No doubt it’s true of you and Bill in Ireland too.
We do our best, David :-)
Oh I love that pink color. I haven't seen any/many in that shade. They're always the blue-purple ones.
I love them all, but the deep jewel tone purple ones are my favorite.
That is a beautiful colour hydrangea.
All the best Jan
It is! Have a great weekend, Jan.
Beautiful blog
Thank you.
