Wednesday: Pictures and a Few Words . . . How to Look at Hydrangeas

 I know that the colour of hydrangeas has much to do with the pH balance of the soil

 but I've no idea how many seasons it will take me to turn this shrub's blooms to a palette closer to

 my preferences.

 The pink does, believe it or not, seem slightly less garish than the blooms I cut last September . . .

 perhaps my emptying the spent tea leaves onto the soil as a top dressing has made a tiny difference.

 I suspect I'll have to take more concerted action, but we've been distracted by the scale infestation,

 and honestly, I'm very tempted to shovel prune this one, replacing it with a white lacecap, perhaps

 even an oakleaf like the H. quercifolia "Snow Queen" we had in the last garden. It can be a sprawler,

 though, and I see that there's a 'Sikes Dwarf' available that apparently does well in a container.

Meanwhile, though, I must admit that there's considerable beauty to be found in the unfolding, day by day, of the furled green balls into the very emphatic pink mopheads. . .

And finding beauty, and acknowledging it, seems particularly important these days. Right now in our province, British Columbia, thousands have been displaced from their homes by forest fires, thousands more are in small towns cut off from supplies because fires have shut down any access, and there is no relief expected from the weather.  Crises like these seem to arrive back-to-back, and we can become overwhelmed hearing about them, and trying to balance them against the personal crises we might be experiencing, as in my extended family. But as my very wise sister-in-law said, "All we can ever count on is the moment we're in. So we do our best, and we help where we can, and we still have to eat and sleep and keep ourselves healthy. And we make the very most of the moments, as they arrive, one by one."

Sometimes that means stopping to look at the hydrangeas. Even if they're not our favourite colour. . .
