This beautiful blue hydrangea is growing next to my daughter’s driveway. The Auckland, New Zealand area has had more than its share of rainfall this year. It appears that the local gardens loved it.

In our area of Southern California there is an abundance of pink blossoms, so I am really enjoying the blue.
