On a corner of the front porch we’ve had a hydrangea in a red pot. It’s done well until recently. It started to sag. Was it lack of nutrician being in a pot? Lack of water being under the eaves of the house? Or, too much sun. any one of those will make a hydrangea wilt. It’s a lesson that any one of us can pick up on the signs and make adjustments. In this case I took the hydrangea out of the pot and into the open ground. This will allow the roots to grow and for much needed nutrients to be provided to the plant. It finally rained the last couple of days. What a couple of days make. The below picture is from today. Notice the leaves are looking better with good color. Instead of wilting the plant is revived and appears to be thriving. This just after a few days. The pictured below that picture is when I first transplanted it. Really just a couple of days ago. Water, Sun, and Soil. Also, location. Hydrangea don’t like direct sunlight. No green thumb needed. Just observation and willingness to transplant. Here, plants take well and rarely do a I see a droop after transplanting.

Speaking of plants, I was given iris and another type of bulb to plant. These came from CB from someone at the school she works at. I planted these today in two key spots.
