This time of year holds promises of wonderfully full bunches of hydrangeas to spread in different containers around the house. Very easy to dry by just clipping them and placing them into a vase with NO water. Their colors are so serene and each bloom is special in its own little way. Just love them……

Beautiful pictures. Hydrangeas don't grow very well here in the dry air of Utah. Wish they did. One of my favorite flowers. Mimi
I have ZERO luck drying them... tried everything. they just wilt and turn brown... :(
So pretty in the metal bucket/vase...nice contrast1 ;D
They're just beautiful! Mom needs to give this a try! Thank you!

I love hydrangeas, too, Becky. I haven't brought any in as yet - but they are blooming away in the garden. I love the look of them in your metal/tin vase.

Pretty...very pretty. Have never tried to dry them but just might one day.
WOW, I adore Hydrangeas but this year mine hardly bloom. So disappointing. How did you get yours blue? Can I ask if your galvanized vase is vintage? I want one!!!! Heehhheeee

AntiqueChase,
I know why you aren't having luck drying them. You have to harvest the flowers in the fall. You will have NO luck if you try to dry them in spring and summer. I usually cut my flowers in late Sept or even mid October. You can hang them upside down or I even arrange them in vases how I like to display them. Hope this helps.

jan, thank you for the tips! yes, i wait till about now through fall to cut them.
xxoo
ps: the galvanized piece is not old, but i have left it outside for the past few years and it has taken on a nice warm patina.
xxoo
Wonderful...I had blooms but I was afraid of cutting them too early...then they were gone...there's always next year I guess!
Hi Becky,
I love hydrangeas...the blue ones..
I tried growing them once but I had no luck..no green thumb.
The are truly a beautiful flower.
I have been thinking of you...XO
Big hugs, Elizabeth
Becky I cut mine every year before the color gets out of them and do the same thing. I use them all year until the next ones bloom and I start all over again. Yours are
beautiful and I love what you have them in.
Beautifully displayed!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing1

Have a great Thursday.

They are lovely - and the galvanized holder is perfect. You've inspired me to get out and clip some of my hydrangeas.
Hydrangeas keep us California gardeners hopping! Just returned from Oregon Coast, where they grow like weeds.
My favorite is Annabelle. I love to cut them while they are still green to bring some happy color indoors during our long gray winters.
Your photos are beautiful!
Very pretty Becky...they grace your home wonderfully.....blessings
They are so pretty. I agree, each one has its own stunning color. Kathi
