Your blue lacecap is stunning, how I wish we could grow blue ones here. Endless summer kind of grows here, but needs a lot of soil ammendement to keep the colour blue. My 2 are still at the leaf stage, no signs of flowers yet. I do hope to get some before winter! The oakleaf is beautiful as well. Are there more sterile blooms or do the panicles stay half open?Rebecca @ In The Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513002032328432666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960442494452732795.post-3017574936413132282010-07-14T18:18:20.760-07:002010-07-14T18:18:20.760-07:00Hi Catherine, I took a few cuttings from my friend...Hi Catherine, I took a few cuttings from my friend Carol's 'Ayesha.' So far they're doing great but I'll have to wait another year [at least] for flowers and I'm not really keen on waiting for things. LOL <br /><br />Both my H. paniculatas [Pinky and Unique] are still in tight bud stage. Patience, patience. <br /><br />Your photos are beautiful and I agree. Hydrangeas always catch my eye too.

And thanks for the names. Makes a difference. They are all just lovely. I haven't had any luck with the oakleaf but I think that might be the gardeners problem not the plants.
