Sally, love your pink iris!

here is a pic of our sad looking blue hydrangea
it does have some growth coming in at the base, so I'm not going to prune it at all yet
too bad it is located directly next to our new little back porch so we get to see it all summer... I've been adding new plants here and there to redirect our attention lol

hopefully it will recover. it will be worth the wait because it is a gorgeous cobalt blue color as you can see in the pic of how beautiful it looked last July

we actually have several babies around too that could be transplanted into that spot if we had to remove it, but I'm going to hope on recovery. Never had this happen before.

Our dead looking buddleias are just as sad looking. Some of them have growth at the bases, some don't.
