Fragrant shrub that looks like oakleaf hydrangea
Comments (5)There are fragrant viburnums (eg., burkwoodii, etc) but their flowers aren't really in the form of an upright panicle like an oakleaf hydrangea, ie., they are more rounded. I mentioned the clethra, which does bloom later in summer and has upright panicle blooms that look almost like the oakleaf hydrangea, but the clethra's panicles are smaller in size. Clethra alnifolia 'Hummingbird' has white panicles and they definitely are fragrant. Here is a link that might be useful: Hummingbird clethra...See MoreMy Hydrangea looks like ground cover
Comments (2)Your plants could be getting used to their new surroundings and developing new roots. Be happy that you got bloomage and now let them do their things at their pace. I would only do these three things: make sure that they get a few hours of morning sun only; make sure that the soil remains moist (not wet; not dry) and that they are well mulched; and I would control the urge to over-fertilize. Some comosted manure or cottonseed meal once a year in June is all I would feed established hydrangeas (yours will be established in about a year from the time it was planted). Please review the link below on Hydrangea Care, Planting, Fertilizing, etc. And even though it is early, review/print Hayseedman's thread on Over-wintering hydrangeas at Over-wintering hydrangeas Luis Here is a link that might be useful: Hydrangea FAQs...See MoreWhat's fall look like in your area?
Comments (23)MHillgal, you said it!!! MUCH too early. The trees still had leaves on them. And in our back yard next to the house, we had over 8 inches of the wet heavy snow, looked like a mattress on my chaise lounge. A mulberry tree kept leaning further and further, until it fell and the branch was across my car. DH went out and cut it off, but that stub still hangs there. And the tall gnarly locust trees all along the street broke and fell across the power lines. We got our power back Thursday, about 2 pm, and what a blessing it was. The response by National Grid was criminally negligent, did not show up until the weekday, and only worked during the daylight until 4pm. So far there is news that one elderly woman in western MA died in her home from no heat. I am furious about the lack of timely response to this weather anomaly. So here are a few of my pictures taken over the last week. We've just about burned up our entire supply of firewood. Before this, we were trying to give it away. :) And this is my favorite one of all....the little Reliance peach tree standing up to it all....See MoreWhat does your Fall Front door look like?
Comments (15)This weekend I made one of those neat ruffled looking burlap wreaths. It turned out great and was so easy! I have pumpkins, gourds, etc. on the porch and also in our area out back. I used a pumpkin and straw in an urn (small) on one of the front steps. I have my big old copper boiler that I use as a planter and changes out my plants, etc. It's still warm here and my summer flowers are still going strong. I have pulled up a few things. I decorate in October (fall only, not halloween) and that holds me through Thanksgiving. Christmas stuff goes up that weekend or shortly after. I don't have a picture yet and I'm not at home, but I'm linking to a picture of the burlap wreath. tina Here is a link that might be useful:...See MoreDorian W
