Flower Arrangements When Flowers Are Few

Some of you may remember me sharing the story of starting this hydrangea from a cutting from my mother’s plant.

Then, the cooler temperatures and shorter days of autumn bring another palette change: the edges of the blossoms become this lovely purply pink.
