There is a hydrangea bush in my backyard. It’s large and grows in a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. It looks vibrant but in the twelve years I have lived here, it has never bloomed a flower. Each Spring, I look for blooms but Summer has never delivered me flowers. For the last few years, I’ve read up on hydrangea pruning and tried to prune it in late Winter with hopes of Spring blooms. Just when I had given up hope of success, I have a hydrangea flower. And not just any flower; a splendid purple flower.
It’s the only flower I’ve got but I’m thrilled to see it. Gardens surprises are always so very lovely.
