A Paler Shade of Pink

I love how this picture shows the sunlight falling on the hydrangea:



I was hoping to have a blue hydrangea, and I read once to do this, you need acidic soil. One way to do this is to put green tea in the soil. I did this last summer, but it must have been too late. You can also add Miracid or Iron Sulfate to the soil. This summer, I didn't know we still had the hydrangea until it started to bloom. That's how oblivious I can be sometimes. Maybe next year...

Here are some other shades of pink at our house:
