Like Layanee's, ours fade to a slightly greenish white. Layanee, It's a good thing Tucker has other attributes or he might be out of a job! To answer your question, Gail and I have a tea break with the volunteers and my tum is now forever on a 10:30 AM-must-eat-something schedule! Kate, There are so many hydrangeas here I almost can't imagine a place without pompoms! Do you think you'll give one a try? Shirl, Thanks for visiting! I believe the bridge was built with the garden in the early 20th century (I'll have to check my facts) and Fred and Dan have been making sure it lasts another century or two. I'll take more pictures of their handiwork and if only it would rain for a few days, I'd take a fresh picture of a full pond!

I love it. The pond looks pretty cool even without water. I Like Tara - she looks as if she belongs in the garden. And the Hydrangea is stunning...I can never get enough sightings of Hydrangeas. There aren't that many growing in gardens here. My parents have two that did well this year, but I've yet to try one in my garden. What a cool daylily photograph. I love it.

My dog, Tucker, is pretty good about the garden although he doesn't chase the deer! Good shots on the knees and you are welcome! Do you actually get an official coffee break? My hydrangea 'Limelight' is very green when it first comes out and it gradually fades to white. Still love it though. I like that new phrase, Garden on.

Mine is really QUITE green, which is one reason I love it. I posted a photo of a flower head a couple of entries back, and if it's sunny tomorrow--or at least not raining--I'll take a shot of the whole shrub and post it for comparison. Hope you have a dazzlingly wonderful weekend! Kris, this specimen of Limelight seems to have quite white flowers–is that the case? Mine is really QUITE green, which is one reason I love it.
