Good morning! It’s Wednesday. In my dreams, I’d have a wall big enough to do a climbing hydrangea justice. Many years ago I planted one by the old front door. It quickly outgrew its paltry trellis and started scaling the front of the house, eating our paint and wood siding as it went.
Hallelujah❣️It seems hydrangeas are nearly indestructible, tho I have never experienced the climbing variety. I think it’s so exciting! And Hopeful, as well. My motto has been, and still is [no way of knowing for how many decades], Keep on truckin’!
We planted climbing hydrangea years ago near/on a wall outside by our deck. It went nuts and took over the wall and when we needed to paint the house we cut it down.
Unphased, it began to grow on the ground all around the deck and cherry tree nearby. It has made itself into a robust ground cover. It blooms only occasionally, but it's green all the time.
I didn’t even know hydrangeas climbed. They seem more like a hang out at the edge of a party full of too many hors d’oeuvres and wine kind of flowering plant.
Buzzie the bumblebee has been on my newly planted lavender. I hope both like their new digs and thrive, as I hope the new growth on the Maine bushes thrive.
I had one that started eating our asbestos shingles. So rude!

Lovely. It must be glorious when it blooms.
How totally true! If only I could keep that always in the front of my mind.
So true,life and plants just do and be wherever it takes us,great poem

I am waiting for seeds to sprout in a window box, hoping that they did not drown with all the rain we have had !!
Reminds me our crazy climber needs pruning!
Chop chop!
To every thing there is a season
