Summer?s Last Hurrah
The other night, I made the last cuts of the season to my hydrangea bushes. Out of the three I have, two bloomed all season and the third started to bloom last week {go figure}. I decided to enjoy them in the house and used them in the pot I showed a few posts ago on our dining room table. I used the glass hurricane and a faux candle in a pumpkin color {I couldn?t find an actual pumpkin pillar candle in the real candles}. It was 50% off at Hobby Lobby so I felt it would do for this arrangement. I tucked in some of the hydrangea flowers I had cut around it. As I had said in that previous post, a flat bottom votive candle holder turned upside down inside the pot brings the candle up to a good height. This will do until the blooms dry out and then I can put the faux florals and leaves in their place. I also took a final picture of our urn by the garage door. You might recall that I have shared it a few times over the Summer months to show you how it progressed in size. It continued to grow even after my last post! Here is the progression in pictures, with the date taken listed below each photo. May 24, 2015 ? first planted July 7, 2015 August 16, 2015 September, 2015 Such a great combination and coleus is always a winner in my book. I will have to look back at these pictures for next year?s planting.
