Our Climbing Hydrangea!

Climbing Hydranges - Hydrangea Anomala

Tidbit Description - Magnificent climbing, deciduous with large, flat-topped clusters of pure white, fragrant flowers in summer. Glossy green, heart-shaped leaves adorn handsome cinnamon-brown branches. Delightful cover for walls or arbors.

Was outside early this am, with coffee in hand; and making the time to enjoy the bountiful harvest of flowering plants from the summer sun! The Hydrangea Anomala is the type of hydrangea we have trailing around and around, on our brick columned entrance to our front doorway. It is 'pleasing to the eye'; to all those who pass by. The photo image is very similar to our actual hydrangea.

Our neighbour (the one we gave the flowers to; and she in turn returned our vase with some bluey purple hydrangeas, from her lovely garden) popped over and offered to water our plants when we are out of town. She loved our front hydrangeas; and was amazed at its "tenacity"; it is like an ivy,"gluing" and wrapping itself around our post.

Our cherry tomatoes are coming out in tida and bits, and alas we will not be here to pick them off the vibrant vines. However, she has a "standing invitation" to "help herself" anytime, to our bit fresh garden produce. The same offer is open to our immediate next door neighbours. Ran into them also this morning; and we look forward to extending to them the same hospitality they showed us, when they invited us to their place; a few tid weeks ago.

Tidbit - Appreciate a genuine "give and take" attitude; and for the "win win" situations that it creates for all those who participate. It rather reminds me of the wonderful movie, "Pay It Forward". Also, speaking of vines, it appears as if the 'wheat is being separated from the chaffe'; and that is to the good. Genuine friendships is what it is all about.

Bittid - Also savour the beautiful simplicity of nature.
