Will try to add some photos to this discussion.

I call this my ugly duckling hydrangea. It is a serrata prezosia.

Looks like this is working so I will do the rest.

At this stage it is not very exciting and almost got pulled the second year.

The flowers start out a boring ivory color.

and then start to look almost hand painted.

Each flower head consists of many different colors.

The flowers heads are different colors at the same time

Red, white, blue, pink and maroon all at the same time.

It is a stunner - and my favorite swan.

I don't have any problems at all posting photos, but I do think my post are getting hidden :(

Ophoenix, many folks have mentioned having issues posting photos, especially in the original post. It seems to be easier in follow up comments, but it is truly frustrating and has been going on for weeks without Houzz seeming to be working on a fix despite many comments about it.

That is a stunning set of flowers, so I am glad you persisted and were finally able to post them.

Roxanna, sometimes a post can get delayed for some reason between the writing of the post and its public appearance. Can you see it in the list of postings you have created on your My Houzz page if you click on Activity and then Posts? If it is in the list and you click the link to take you there, can you reach the post? Is it visible in the forum(s) you listed it in? Sometimes if you add some forums that aren’t directly related such as asking about paint colors in he landscape design forum, folks will flag it as miscategorized. It then will disappear for a bit until Houzz decides if it is appropriately placed. One way to avoid this is to carefully consider where it should be best posted and not necessarily add all three possible forums and instead only post on the single most appropriate forum.
