Well said! I love the description of “a delicate farewell.” It’s perfect for hydrangeas.

VJ – you really captured such a powerful transition with gorgeous photos and such poignant words !
My hydrangea plants had an early bloom and then sme of them were flowering this month a little bit!
anyhow, “delicate farewell” was also a powerful title
