I need one of those Annabelles. I doubt if I will have any hydrangea blooms this year. I am almost positive there will be none on the Nikkis. The one that used to be pink, but is becoming more purplish, is a Forever Pink ( I think). So far it shows no sign of a bloom. Same with the Bluebird, and the oakleaf. I bought some bird netting in town yesterday, and will drape it over them to deter the deer. I have ran out of fencing.
All of my hydrangeas had to start over from below after 'The Freeze'.
The hooved rodents have kept the native hydrangeas in my backyard bed pruned to the ground!

Your Annabelle looks wonderful, Christie. Mine just has one small bloom this year. My Endless Summer has finally put out some growth, but no signs of a bloom. The other two dwarf ones I bought at Lowes or Wal-Mart, are just sitting there. I may toss them or move them to another location where they don't irritate me every time I look at them!

Marian, I keep hearing about the deer damage everyone has and am really grateful that we don't have them coming into the yard.....yet. Just waiting for the raccoons................
