I read that the native americans used the root of the Hydrangea as a diuretic , to cleanse toxins. The language of Flowers say that the flower means boastful, and heartless. I have also read that they mean preservation , and that is why they are a good choice for wedding flowers. I like them no matter what they mean. To me they mean Flamboyance. I love showy flowers.
The rest of the flowers are not doing very well this year
I have some Zinnias with buds , I hope they bloom and not dry up.
I separated this hydrangea last fall
from this large bush in front of porch
Steve purchased this yard sculpture from the Strawberry Faire here in Ashland

Hi, Betsy! Lovely flowers. I came to your blog through a Google alert on the language of flowers. Good to see Lewis Ginter is doing well. We used to live in RIchmond, and I once wrote an article about their holiday lights.
You might also be interested in looking up my new novel, Forget-Her-Nots (HarperCollins, 2010) about the language of flowers come magically to life.
Happy summer,

In response to Amy - Thank You for your comment and will certainly check out your novel, I would love to read it.
I get to the park every year to see the lights.
Happy Summer To You,
Betsy
