~Limelight Hydrangeas and Beautiful Zinnias!~

The limelight hydrangeas are at their peek right now so I thought I would share them. The blossoms are so beautiful and HUGE! I love the color and how they hold up. I cut some to bring inside to enjoy too. They start out the light lime color then turn creamy white.

This is a hydrangea TREE, that we got the first summer we were here. I just love it!

I have 3 bushes and the tree. This one by the garage was about 2 feet tall and now has doubled in size!

This is my neighbors bush, right behind us. She prunes it almost all the way to the ground and look how big it gets!!! It is funny that her blooms are not at the same place as mine, not at peek yet.

Here are some shots of my zinnias. I just love these happy flowers! They are beautiful cut, for an arrangement too.

The colors are so vibrant.

The shapes are somewhat different too.

This was one little flower from a 6 pack in the Spring. Now it is like a small bush:)

LOVE this orange color!

It is amazing that they start like this and bloom so beautifully! Mother Nature at her best!

I have them all along this side of the house. You see this side as you drive down the street so I like to have it very colorful. The zinnia and marigold combination is also beautiful in the Fall!!!

Thanks for visiting. My Joe is 2 weeks out from his surgery and doing great!!!
