RE: Her name was Liina

Amazing color!
I am always fascinated by the myriad colours that show in my gardens each spring...
... some? Do not show, until now!

I have a Hydrangea... usually blooms in a very similar colour as Liina, each year. And yet, this january, it was so mild, that the plant started to get hundreds of blossoms. The tiny buds were killed only a few weeks later, when we got a HARD FREEZE, much more typical of New England Winters.
The bush looks fine, except it is missing it's hundreds of blossoms. Hopefully, all will be better, come next spring.

Hydrangeas are really cool, the foliage and blooms. I don't have any personally, but we have them here of course and I'll get some eventually. For me it's a space thing; I have quite a bit but I'm not one to like cluttered spaces so am quite strategic with what I bring in. Moving something out to bring in some hydrangeas is not on the cards just now.

They always seem like a happy plant to me, sort of bursting with energy. A shame yours were a little brutalised...would covering them have helped?

Covering? Probably not. The freeze was too deep. In the 30 years living here, this is my first time wiht this level of freeze and hydrangea issues.

Yeah, I get it...well I don't because my area doesn't have that problem, although we get frost and a nice little covering over the plants that are prone saves the day.
