Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'

Morning folks, even hotter one today and it was 31⁰ here yesterday 🤪🥵 and Annabelle is about to do her thing

Morning Jeremy. Oh dear ....I shan't be out there too long in that heat. Stay cool 👋🥵🔥

Morning 😃🖐💚

Same here , not looking forward to it again today I must admit 🥵

Really pleased how this has done from a cutting taken earlier this year

Brilliant! 👍

It looks really healthy, well done 👍

She's nearly ready to present herself

Morning everyone on bright but chilly day. The lone bloom left on my hydrangea is still very pretty

That's a really pretty one 👌

Thanks Ange, another plant likely to be moved 🙂 @anges

Morning Jeremy. 3°C and quite breezy here at the moment. Need to finish mulching my DAHLIAS so hoping it stays dry 👋🙂

They have done well this year 👌

Morning Pauline here there's white lawns and brown leaves on the roses. The garden is settling in for winter @flof1952 👋👋

Morning Sue This year the roses, cosmos and hydrangea have been exceptional, a real sight for sure eyes 🙂👋👋

My Lime Rickey has three new flowers on, see what I mean about my garden, it’s totally crazy 🤔🤔

And my rose Wedgwood has still got buds forming, plain weird @pelly

I went on a pruning course in March at Harlow Carr and 'acquired'(with permission of course) a couple of cuttings, it looks as if I may have been very lucky as this appears to have rooted... Yay!

That’s a great idea. I wonder if they do then here? Must ask local Nat Trust

Oooh fabulous 👌😄

Not mine yet but a cutting I got (i.e. a stick stuck in my #bed2jpea ) hopefully will root and in a couple of years look like this 🙏😊

I have one grown from a cutting that has grown quite quickly. A word of warning, I lost the parent plant as something stripped the bark off, probably snails. Good luck with yours.

Thanks for the warning Jennifer , I'll keep an eye on it. It's a month or so late to plant a softwood cutting but with the weather we're having it might as well be January 😏 @euphorbia
