Humungus Hydrangea

All of a sudden the hydrangeas in our front yard have become absolutely huge! These two growing side by side are about 8-10 inches across, no kidding! They have been growing at a normal pace but a week of sunshine followed by a week of rain seemed to be the tonic that made them get so large. They are gorgeous and are becoming different colors. There are several blooms. I think the bush will be full of them.

Great colour, Vern. Do you add anything to the soil to achieve this? In the UK, folk add aluminium to the soil to get blue blooms!

Beautiful! Ours are small and pale blue. Am told there are tricks to be applied that can
make them larger and deeper in color. Perhaps you've got all down pat here.. Fine shutter finger and green thumb workings : ))
