Plant swap hydrangea

14 years ago

I wish I knew who gave me this hydrangea at the 2008 Fall plant swap. But to whom ever it was, here is an update. I have posted it on my blog, so if you don't mind, click the link below to see it, and thanks for the hydrangea. Feel free to make a comment at the blog.

Jill - thanks for the comment. Your Niko Blue is doing fine and is growing as well. I will post a photo of that soon.

I had one or two but I don't remember who got them. The soil in the pot doesn't look like my sand. It has too much organic material on top. Jill's son always laughingly complains about my pots being full of very heavy dirt. - Terry

I had also brought one- if it was in miracle grow- it might have came from me. I had gone to a hydrangea propagation seminar at Aldridge BG that spring, so if it came from me, then the plant came from assorted cuttings that were provided for that class. Glad to see it is doing so well, no matter where it came from (-:
