Garden bloggers bloom day November 15th eventually

I have been enjoying the garden bloggers bloom day posts that everyone else participates in, and suddenly I thought why don't I participate? - so here I am! On the 15th of every month Carol at May Dreams Gardens hosts a celebration of what is in bloom all around the world. Have a look and enjoy... I have a new plant! My wonderful hubby will often bring me a lovely bunch of flowers, (I know, I am very spoiled) but last week he showed up with a hydrangea bush! Gosh I have never seen such beautiful, large flowers - and such a lovely shade of blue! Just look at all the little buds waiting to have their turn to shine - aren't they just too cute for words?. They do like a semi shaded spot, and I thought right at the front gate would be just perfect. Morning sun, and then afternoon shade - just perfect. Doesn't she look happy there? thank you hubby! I think I am going to need a bit of coolin...
