Late Season Hydrangeas

At the height of summer the hydrangeas were a brilliant blue. Their crayon-bright heads poked through the fence and those walking by stopped to admire their exuberant show. Now the winds are chilly and the skies are gray. The hydrangeas still put on a show but it’s a quieter one. Subtle shades of mauve and dusty violet coordinate with the weathered wood of the fence . Soon the leaves and blossoms will drop off and blow away. But in the spring, the show will start again.
