Really like the bouquet. The smoky amber glass vase pairing with the pale chartreuse panicles of Little Lime hydrangea. Vintage meets modern. Looks great in the house.

Harvesting the dense, pale lime panicles from the Little Lime hydrangea, packed with tight chartreuse florets on stiff woody stems, and pruning it back for next year's new growth. This bouquet would look good in the house.
Why: The rain in past few weeks have making it flopping

Heavy rain over the past couple days made this Hydrangea flop, its heavy lime and cream panicles drooping down under the water weight. Not very pleasant look in the garden right now, but it is my weekend project to tidy it up. Would need to master my pruning skills. I had a dream about this guy would grow so big and eventually could provide shade in the patios! Everyone can dream right?!
