Hydrangea is an amazing flower and we are just beginning to understand its many stages of beauty. From changing bloom color on the plant by adding/changing the pH of the soil to the various color changes that happen as the blooms decline once they are cut, to even drying and preserving the blooms. Hydrangeas, an already forgiving flower for florists, give us the ultimate in long-lasting beauty.

I did a bit of scavenging in the yard to come up with these green boutonnieres. I was unsure what kind of ribbon to put on them (more greens?) Unfortunately the pictures could be much better- these were super cute in person.
