Phew, this was a tough one. I had to repaint over the blue flowers a second time because the first attempt was terrible.

Last summer, while back in Connecticut for a visit, everyone was commenting on the lush beauty of the Hydrangeas. They were stunning. I did not think to get photos of their blooms, but after I returned to California, I asked my friend Jenny Raymond if she could send me some photos of the Hydrangeas at her home. I used her photos as my guide.
