The 2013 Tin Roof Gardens Hydrangea Edition, Part 3

This is a wide shot of the garden with pink Nikko Blue in the foreground and Oak Leaf Alice and White Moth against the fence.


This is a relocated macrophylla Penny Mac that produced a decent set of blooms. They were chopped and moved to a new bed so I wasn't expecting anything this season.
This is macrophylla Cardinal Red but its definitely pink not red. The flowers are quite large and maintain their color longer than other mopheads.

Macrophylla Cardinal Red and a dwarf Hydrangea quercifolia Pee Wee (white blooms). As the name suggests, Pee Wee is a compact Oak Leaf.


Macrophylla Nikko Blue.
Another Nikko Blue.

White Goose Necks (Lysimachia clethroides) and a large Nikko Blue in the background.


Hydrangea macrophylla Lady In Red was developed by Michael Dirr at the Horticulture Dept of the Univeristy of Georgia. This plant was selected from open pollinated seedlings of H. macrophylla Otaska. The species originates in Japan, and associated first with English explorer Sir Joseph Banks.
Another Lady in Red as it starts to bloom.


A wider shot of Lady in Red with a few Pink Nikko Blue on the left.


An unknown lacecap. Our lacecaps didn't bloom well this season and I'm not sure why.
A closeup of the lacecap above.















A tangle of Annabelle (White), Endless Summer (pink and blue) and Liberty Hostas.


Hydrangea macrophylla Cityline Paris starting to bloom.
