As stated in the previous post, work prevented me from being as attentive as usual so I missed a few bloom cycles. I expect next season's post to be more robust.
A long view of the patio. From left to right: Hydrangea paniculata White Moth, paniculata Pinky Winky, quercifolia Oakleaf Alice, standard Oakleaf and finally macrophylla Penny Mac in pink.
White Moth blooms in white.
White Moth has the best late summer and fall color. It starts out bright white and turns pink as the bloom ages.
Our climbing Schizophragma hydrangeoides Moonlight grew about 6 feet up the oak tree this year.
A row of quercifolia Oakleaf Alice on the left and standard Oakleaf on the right.
A large standard Oakleaf with Oakleaf Alice in the background.
A nice purple macrophylla Penny Mac cluster.
A pyramid of white arborescens Annebelle, blue macrophylla Endless Summer, purple macrophylla Nikko and pink macrophylla Penny Mac.

A group of macrophylla Penny Mac along the fence.
A macrophylla Nikko Blue with a runner that sprang up in front of it and produced the largest Nikko blooms I've ever seen (pink). Look at the difference in size between the blue and pink flowers. Its the same species.
A unusual Blue Wave lacecap that was white.
A beautiful multicolored macrophylla Merrit's Supreme cluster.
This is the Merrit's Supreme above in its final color stage.
A Nikko Blue in front of white Goosenecks.
An irregular macrophylla Cityline Paris bloom. This one was clobbered last winter and only produced a single flower this year.
A dainty Lady in Red bloom. This one was hit last winter as well.
A Hydrangea paniculata Little Lamb in the morning sun.
A closeup of paniculata Little Lamb. The flowers are white for most of the season and turn green in September.
A bed of paniculata Chantilly Lace that bloomed well this year. This is after some rain so its a little droopy.

Royal Star paniculata Silver Dollar didn't have giant blooms this year but it did grow a bit wider.

Our Hydrangea paniculata Pinky Winky finally bloomed heavy but still didn't have the nice pink two toned blooms. Hopefully next year.
