h...
hydrangeas.

i'm a gardener...
and i grow hydrangeas in my garden...
but mine are pink, blue and purple.

this year...
i want some white ones...
so i think i'll visit my nursery this weekend.

one thing about cutting hydrangeas...
you should put the flowers into hot water immediately after cutting.
i usually rinse the but stems...
and then add hot water to the vase also...
and my flowers will last for DAYS!!!

when i brought these flowers into the office on wednesday...
one of my co-workers mentioned that she'd bought some...
that had wilted within a couple of hours of purchasing them.
i told her about the hot water method...
and then showed her how fresh they still looked on thursday.

and...
as you can see...
they're still beautiful!
