26 | My Passion - Issue 1 - April 2015 The Gardening Spot Hydrangea Striking, large blooms of white or pink are the main characteristic of the Hydrangea. Give the correct conditions, the blossoms can even turn blue. This year I have decided to plant several hydrangeas in my yard. So I have started studying this plant and I have really become intrigued. The hydrangea, with its rounded white, pink or blue flowers is an attractive and decorative plant in the greenhouse, window, terrace or planted in the yard. The bush grows wild along the rivers of China and Japan, and was brought to Europe by plant collectors in the 1800’s. in January to the lowest pair of buds and move it back into the warmth. Water sparingly until the first flower buds appear. Most people think of the hydrangea as a garden shrub, often planted in acid soils alongside Rhododendrons. It blooms in the beginning of April and will continue flowering right through September. When you buy your plants, look for bushy plants with large dark green leaves and stiff stalks. Thin weedy stalks will not be able to hold up the flower heads. Cut it back every year and enjoy its beauty year after year. It has a love of water and humidity. The most wellknown variety is blue. This is probably because of the colors of its flowers. They are basically white but can turn blue in acid soil and pink if the soil is alkaline. Three or four plants together make a lovely sight when placed together in clay pots on the patio or sunporch. All water loving plants are basically sociable and grow best when they are together with their friends. The hydrangea will live for many years if treated right. Cut the flower heads off just after they have finished flowering and move the plant to a humid but not too warm place. Better still, plant it out in the garden in a sunny and airy spot in some acid soil. If you are keeping the hydrangea in a pot, water the hydrangea regularly and do not let it dry out. Bring it in before the night frosts creep upon it and ruin your work. Keep it in a cool spot inside. Cut it back

Cornelia Brown: 404-786-0873 www.travelurdreams.paycation.com My Moment By Sandra Schock I like to get up about 30 minutes early in the mornings and have ‘my moment’ with my first cup of coffee, all by myself. I like to use this time to read my Bible, thank God for what He’s done for me and just “sit, sip and think.” It’s amazing how much you can think of and pray about before your mind gets so clogged up with STUFF all through the day. Take a Moment! Our bodies and minds gets so stressed out with all the things we do each day. This helps to relieve that stress from stuff that seems to always get in the way. Try it in the morning and your day will be better! EVERYONE NEEDS THEIR MOMENT!
