Autumn Blues

The autumn blues that I refer to here are not the sad ones that start to happen now that the days are starting to get shorter, more the excellent blues of our Hydrangeas. Probably the most spectacular one that we have here is one of the Teller hybrids from Germany called Blaumeise it's a lacecap with very large flowers which are an almost luminous blue particularly when they brighten up a shady glade.
