November's Hydrangea
Uploaded: November 07, 2013
---
I think I mentioned before that in the past 18 years, the neighborhood deer have devoured the blossoms before they have fully opened. This year, my neighbors sprayed SOMETHING on the hydrangeas and we an amazing abundance of lacy blossoms. The florets started out in very pale pink and blue -- nearly white. Now, in the November of their life cycle, they are still stars of the lower driveway. They have not been molested in any way...except by maybe the spray itself.

Beautiful capture of my favorite plant. The Oak Leaf variety is native to our area and I have countless plants in my backyard. #10893201John Connolly November 07, 2013
A beautiful floral capture Michelle! I wish I could fix my rabbit problem as easy! #10893246Emile Abbott November 07, 2013
Gorgeous. Usually soapy water will do the trick. #10893261Laura E. Swan November 07, 2013
Interesting that soapy water came to me too. (Emile's comment). I know that is the cure for red spider. (Those teeny tiny red spiders that ruin fur trees etc...).What a joy to have this new dimension to your yard. Very beautiful and thank you for sharing them., Michelle!
