    Presenting for the first time a new flowering Hydrangea. :luv:
    The flowers off the cap are huge. The leaves on the shrub nice and big and dark green.
    Sorry, will have to hut for the tag under it somewhere.

    Redstar - I replied to your PM but got a message to say that you were not accepting PMs. Maybe your message box is full?

    Yes Bob, it is a great feeling! Each seed I planted germinated, grew really well & produced loads of flowers, I think the colour is amazing!

    Thanks Strawman & Rosa! :D

    Lovely blooms.

    Although I seem to have 'lost' my Brugmansia, certainly for this year, my Datura is making up for it ...
