I couldn't resist.

This past weekend we celebrated 28 years together and as I prepared a special dinner, I thought about getting out the "good" dishes and dressing things up a bit. But, as is so often the case, I find my taste turning toward a more simple style. For the first time, my hydrangeas were loaded with blooms and I just couldn't resist bringing in a bouquet for our table.

The pink, purple and blue ones are from the same bush and the blue/light yellow are from another.

Aren't they beautiful?

Much herbal love,

Hydrangeas always amaze me - two colors on the same plant.
