I see lots of bulbs starting to shoot up in my beds and in the 50's by the end of the week for us too. Your yard is beautiful. It will be fun to follow thru the seasons and see how it looks summer, fall, etc. I only have one hydrangea (an Oakleaf) and it's planted in partial shade. I love them tho and wish I had enough to gather a large bouquet and dry them.

This year I plan to take lots more!<BR/><BR/>Rob - I do have 2 types of Oakleaf hydrangea. They don't mind some sun, but seem like they appreciate more of a part sun area. My bigger one had some branches broken off by the snow, so hopefully it'll get flowers still this summer. I love the flowers on them.<BR/><BR/>Grace - Thanks for your compliments. We ended up with a beautiful day today, I think I complained too soon. Hope you got some sun too.<BR/><BR/>Randy - Thank you. I know it'll be here soon enough, just so hard to wait.
