Wild hydrangeas

I don't have much to say today except that the oak leaf hydrangeas are blooming. 
Some people call them seven bark. 
I've always called them wild hydrangeas. 
It's a beautiful plant that grows wild in the hollow and along the road to our barn. 
Today, Jilda snapped a handful of them today as we walk and put them 
in vases of water all through the house.

  1. They are lovely - and I much prefer them to the cultivated variety of the plant. Thank you.

    1. It doesn’t have a sweet smell. I would call it earthy but it’s not overpowering.

  4. Wow they are very pretty! I've never seen these before either. You have a beautiful place there. Everyday seems something new appears.

  5. I've never heard of these but they sure are pretty. I was going to ask about their fragrance but I see you answered that already. Do they only grow down south or could I possibly find them up North..like in our creepy woods?! Have a good weekend!
