R.I.P. Hydrangea

Last month I wrote about how I had bought a hydrangea and that I wasn't sure how it was going to do since I'd never had luck growing them before.  Well I'm happy to report that it actually did very well.  It had beautiful healthy blooms for about a month.  Finally, some hydrangea success!  


Since the variety I bought wasn't an 'ever-blooming' variety (meaning it won't flower again this summer), I had to pull it out to make room for new stuff.  Ah, the circle of life.  It moves us all.  (Thank you Lion King).


I do have one small remnant of my beloved flowers though.  This little bloom wasn't quite ready to quit when all the others were so I decided to bring it indoors to enjoy.
