Hydrangea quercifolia

Before it starts to flower it looks just like a Christmas tree 🎄😂 #hydrangea #hydrangea-quercifolia #mygardentoday 💚

@jacaranda hi Barbara my wording as got a bit mixed up there. Anyway, l said to Jane lm going to do a red white and blue theme this year for jubelie, hope you can make out posts. 👍😂

Don’t worry, Gwen, I know what you meant! It’s good that you’re keeping busy and life is so much better when the sun shines, isn’t it? Have a lovely weekend. 😘 @gwenniemom

@jacaranda thank you Barbara. Yes it's been a busy couple of weeks but l have taken my time and every thing looks great now. Hope you have a lot of visitors to urs. Take care. 🙏

What a beautiful photo Barbara 😘

It’s going to be lovely Barbara 😊

Thanks Jane. The pale new growth is such a contrast to the dark leathery leaves. 😀 @pelly

It is, Sharon 🤞 @sharonhayden

#foliagefriday The leaves are as soft as velvet when they’re young but become almost leathery in the autumn. #hydrangea #oakleafhydrangea #deciduous #jacarandashadyview #mygardentoday 💚

What are these like Barbara? I've been thinking about getting one.

They’re interesting, Celina, but slow! I’ve never catalogued the flowers, which probably means they’re rather insignificant, although I can’t honestly remember! 😂😂 I must remember to take more notice of it this year and to photograph its progress 🤞 @cee

🤭😆 I wait in anticipation🤞

@jacaranda. Hi. Barbara. Hope you are well. Yes not to bad, l have ent grown broad beans before so lm really pleased. 👍

Lots of fresh new leaves on the #hydrangea 💚 Now I’ll be on the lookout for flower buds! #foliagefriday #hydrangea #newgrowth #jacarandanorthview #mygardentoday

What position is yours in? Mine are under trees and don’t look nearly this good! I was hoping to grow gigantic NJ-style specimens! 🙄

This one is on the shady side of the garden near the Acer. It was quite small to begin with but it’s slowly getting more robust 💚 @mulberry

Out with the old, in with the new! I love the contrast between the fading leaves and the new ones. Spring has sprung!!! #hydrangea #oakleafhydrangea #newgrowth #mygardentoday 04/04/2019

Love these 💕💕
