Description

A shot of my Dad's pride and joy, his hydrangea. I may be the only one who didn't know this, but burying old, rusty iron at the base of the plant causes the extremely variegated blooms. Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

Excellent shot. Beautiful Hydrangea. We put old iron filings at the base of our rhubarb. Makes beautiful red rhubarb.
