My young hydrangea shrubs in mon petite jardin are happily blooming this season. Yeay! I must have done something right. I planted two colors last year - white and pink. Also, someone told me that if I add acidic fertilizer to pink hydrangeas, they will turn blue but not sure when to add the fertilizer, before or after they start to bloom. Has anyone tried that yet?
I thought the white hyrangeas are cute placed on my blue french enamel lavabo which I purchased in Chelsea Antiques during my recent vaca in NoCal.
It was "l'amour" ar first sight as soon as I saw this piece. At first it was just a quick glance, then I glided towards it closer, circled around, checked out the price tag and "walked away." Oui, bien sur I walked away coz she's priced a bit high. Strolled around the entire shop and bought a few items, but no, I did not pick up this piece. I even felt good as I was walking out of the shop without her - BUT - oui BUT - that "Tiffany" blue color kept haunting me. "When will I ever find something like this again, I asked mon cheri?" So we searched google in our iPhones, and true enough, this is a rare piece, circa 1920's. Et voila, she went home with moi, including her rust and dust.
So pretty and worth every penny!!!
Next week, I will be sharing mon potagerie (veggie garden's) first crop of the season. Here's my first strawberry, tiny and pretty in pink!

Such a find, Marie! You were smart to go back to get it. You won't regret buying that lovely blue lavabo - it's meant for you!
Love those hydrangeas, too. Our bushes are just beginning to show tiny flower buds now.
Happy spring! - susan
Hi Marie... oooh, I love your new treasure!... I hung on your every word, just knowing you would go back for it!... I am so happy you did, it looks stunning!... and your first little fraise... Yum!... xoxo Julie Marie
Your hydrangeas are lovely, Marie!...Christine
Crap, crap, crap! My comment is gone...okay, google changing the color of hydrangea blooms. Some instructions are very easy to follow...BUT even the water from your garden hose can change the ph back to it's original state. Some stones like concrete, brick and the such have the element to change the ph in the soil if placed close enough to the plant....my redneck two cents worth...love the interesting piece you found!
Beautiful hydrangea. Lucky you to find such a lovely piece of antique. I use coffee grounds.
Your hydrangeas are beautiful. I have an enormous blue one that is very old that I do nothing to and it blooms a bunch every year.

Hi Marie, Thanks so much for stopping by my garden site. You're right--hydrangeas do seem to be the garden theme of the week. It's great to see others' blooms. Looking forward to your veggie post. I'm hoping my strawberries produce this year too.

Marie, the blue French enamel and hydrangeas are a wonderful combo. Simply lovely!!! :D I fertilized my hydrangeas earlier in the spring, but I don't think it would hurt them to do so now. Congrats on your first strawberry! She is so cute! I will look forward to your post about your bumper strawberry crop soon ;P
