Welcome to this week's Pink Saturday, hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers and I enjoy sitting at the table just looking at them. The hot pink hydrangea is Glowing Embers, Endless Summer is to the right and Nikko Blue is in the back. I used a time release Rose fertilizer granules on them this year and loved the result. Glowing Embers are more of a hot pink color, Endless Summer was a soft baby pink and now has soft pink, cream and violet shades, and the Nikko Blue is such a vibrant blue. I won't worry about having azalea fertilizer on hand anymore.
In honor of Pink Saturday, I cut a few flowers for a sweet cream colored vase with little pink roses on the side. A vintage pink table cloth is covering an old iron table and a crystal candle holder holds a pink candle. Please visit Beverly's by clicking HERE to see the other PINK Saturday participants.
I'm jealous, your hydrangeas are stunning. I have one small one that's doing well. We bought a larger plant but my daughter put it in a spot that got too much sun and not enough water and it kind of bit the dust. I'd like to have more, they are one of my favorite flowers.
Wow, your hydrangeas or so beautiful. I planted 3 oak leafs last year. I have a small lace cap which I transplanted from my old house to where I am now 3 years ago, and this is the first year it's going to bloom for me. I must get more. I read in a gardening blog about a new repeating lace cap called Twist & Shout I would like to check out. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos.
Your Glowing Embers are so pretty. I have a few Endless Summer that I need to move, they are in a bit of a shady spot now, so I only get one or two blooms on them a season. The Blue Nikkos are not for my zone - bummer. I tried them anyway and learned my lesson. Thanks for sharing the fertilizer tip. ~ Robyn
Awwww! This is an incredibly beautiful set up. Such care taken. I particularly like the light purple/blue flowers but then again, French Blue is my favorite color. Oooh! Maybe I should create French Blue Tuesday or something. (tee hee :)
Diane, Your hydrangeas are so vivid. I planted one last year and it seems to be coming up now - quite cold still here. I hope to have the green thumb that you have. Thanks so much for visiting today. Enjoy the weekend!! Nerina :)
Hydrangeas are beautiful. The little setting in your photo is so pretty. Flowers are never boring but always full of gorgeous colour and brighten up any spot.
Thank you for visiting my blog on my first Pink Saturday. Have a lovely week.
Goodness - gracious - your hydrangeas are fabulous - I am going to run right out to buy some of that special food you gave yours - I have never seen such a bright pink - stunning and beautiful. Hae a lovely week. Blessings, Erin
One of my all time favorites, I was just admiring my own earlier today... Yours are wonderful. Thanks for visiting and the sweet note that you left for me.
Hi Diane, gorgeous blooms! I hope you had a wonderful pink Saturday sweetie. Thank you for your lovely comment on our little lady LuLu, we think she's a cutie too! Wishing you a very happy day.... Amanda (aka Cottage Contessa)

I've tried and tried and I can't get mine to bloom. Any hints? Right now I am so jealous of yours! They are spectacular! Happy Pinkie Day, kiddo!
I love the color of the Glowing Embers..they are all so beautiful!! Wish I had better luck with hydrangeas..but I'm not giving up!
Happy Pink Saturday!
My favorite! Love hydrangeas!

Your Glowing Embers are so pretty. I have a few Endless Summer that I need to move, they are in a bit of a shady spot now, so I only get one or two blooms on them a season. The Blue Nikkos are not for my zone - bummer. I tried them anyway and learned my lesson. Thanks for sharing the fertilizer tip. ~ Robyn
happy pink saturday, thanks for sharing!!! have a wonderful weekend.
I do love hydrangeas, especially the deep blue ones in your background. Happy Pink Saturday.
What a gorgeous vignette to showcase your lovely pinks!
how I wish I could grow these!!! I KILL them almost before I get them home!
A green thumb I do NOT have! Beautiful!! Happy Pink Saturday! :) Marsha
